The air gets very still in the lockdown home
No matter where you go, you can't leave yourself alone
This empty room is full of ways
Your mind can run away from you
So let's change the subject, please
We could talk about movies
Do you know there's new ones on TV?
Cause the cinema's shut
So you can see them way before they'd normally air
But the industry is kind of hand-to-mouth
So who knows where
The money's coming from
To bridge the gap until the virus goes
And oh no
I'm talking about the virus
We can change the subject
Days of the week are just an interesting idea
I'd go to the shops, but all I need there is beer
And that's non-essential
Is anything about my life essential?
Maybe we could change the subject
How about that Zoom?
I like the backgrounds you can use
Family pub quiz and remote viewings too
And talking regularly to friends over video chat
Just to see if they're all right and just to feel all right back
We've none of us got much to do
But we've got a lot to talk about
Although there's only one thing
Anyone's talking about and that's
Animal Crossing
Only kidding, I mean, well
You know what I mean
Did you see that family singing Les Mis?
Man, that was so sweet
Trying real hard just to let my heart be warmed
And not think about why that family has to remain indoors
