about
'This isn't a holiday, it's a lockdown.'
This song was inspired by events in the UK during lockdown 2020 and in particular Dominic Cummings's notorious trip to Barnard Castle to test his eyesight. 'I do not believe I broke any rules,' he said, choosing his words carefully.
'Another plague year would reconcile all these differences; a close conversing with death, or with diseases that threaten death, would scum off the gall from our tempers, remove the animosities among us, and bring us to see with differing eyes than those which we looked on things with before.' A Journal of the Plague Year - Daniel Defoe

lyrics
Our youth was wasted on the young
We didn’t care, we were just having fun
Oh yeah
Stay out of the sun
The nights were short and the days were long
We used to play until the sunset song
Oh yeah
Stay out of the sun
In the palaces and in the slums
Together in the days to come
A little bit
Stay out of the sun
Stay out of the su n
Alcohol, take-aways
We couldn’t lift a finger
In a sprawl, in a daze
We couldn’t make a move
In our turn, we were burned
It’s written on our skin the things we learned
Stay out of the sun
You see a face that you recognise
He took a drive, to test his eyes
Stay out of the sun
Now your inhibition’s gone
Go out posing with your Ray Bans on
A little bit
The words of Freud
Won’t fill the void
The thoughts of Sartre
Will only break your heart
You’d better stay at home
And watch it on your ‘phone
Stay out of the sun
Stay out of the su – u – un
We can track, we can trace
We know the place you lingered
Keep your hands off your face
It’s terminal disease
We were lost, but we learned
If you play with fire you will be burned
Stay out of the sun
