I've got snot - snot running outa my nose it's on my shirt and my pant - I got it from my head to my toes I got a cold - it might be more than a cold I probably got the covid-19 I've got snot - I've got snot running outa' my nose and all over my chin I've got snot - and if I cough or I sneeze it flies around and gets all over everything It's getting worse - it's all over my shirt cuz they aint got no kleenex at work

I was taking a shit - it was when I was done I reached for the paper - but there was none So I reached into the cupboard - where I keep the shittickets But to my dismay - there was no shittickets in it Vas is Das - How will I wipen meine arsch Ich habe Scheiße auf meine arsch Ich habe Scheiße auf meine Hand Ich habe überall Scheiße so I called to my mutter I said "mutter der is no toilettenpapier" she said "the authorities came and took it in the night to make mask for doctor you will have to use your hand Now I am no pussy - but I felt overwhelmed Why did they take my paper - who could it help I will find that doctor - with his toilet paper mask And on his face - I will wipe meine arsch Vas is Das - How will I wipen meine arsch Ich habe Scheiße auf meine arsch Ich habe Scheiße auf meine Hand Ich habe überall Scheiße I went to the hospital - but they would not let me in They only took patients - with covid-19 So I went back home - but I must have caught a cold I can't stop coughing, and my lungs are full of foam Vas is Das - How will I wipen meine arsch Ich habe Scheiße auf meine arsch Ich habe Scheiße auf meine Hand Ich habe überall Scheiße

I feel obliged to admit to all the crimes I did commit But before you loose your shit, my confession I submit I am completely self absorbed, I'm barely living in this world My mind's a million miles away, I can't hear a single thing you say I did not mean to make you cry, and now you wish that I would die These things that you yell at me, make me think that I should leave I will not argue my defence, because if I do it never ends I have no desire for the fight, I'll find somewhere else to stay tonight Now I am more than well aware, you seem to think that I don't care But that's not further from the truth, I really think the world of you I just find it hard to say, would you believe me anyway I tried but struggled with the words, and what I said came out sounding absurd And now I think I'll change my plea, of what I am accused I am not guilty So now it's time for me to leave, because I can't change what you believe Now I am convinced that you are just a fucking bitch That makes it easier for me to leave, and you easier to ditch

So I'm sitting all alone watching fake news the covid-19 lockdown is giving me the blues All my punker friends are crying and wailing Cuz they lost their fucking jobs now they're all complaining The people in the States are dropping like flies Cuz their president's been filling them with lies The economy of the world is in a tailspin Soon our money won't be worth a fucking thing I've got the covid-19 lockdown blues Everything I know about it, I get from fake news It's a good thing that I stacked up on the booze I hope it gets me through the covid-19 lockdown blues People 'round the world are getting sick They're throwing their bodies in great big pits They can't find a cure for it And now we're all under house arrest Crazy shit is gonna go down There's cops and soldiers driving around Soon we'll be looting the stores down town Because there's not enough food to go around So I'm sitting all alone watching fake news And I started thinking about those conspiracy theories It's convenient that this fits in with all of their plans Do you think that this whole thing is just another scam While we're locked up in our houses They can put up their cell towers And when they're done we'll all get chipped Cuz we're afraid of getting sick Welcome to the new world order We've been watching you on social media 5G and the internet of things Will control everything Google Home, and Facebook Will be your god and king. That's why I've got the covid-19 lockdown blues Everything I know about it, I get from fake news It's a good thing that I stacked up on the booze I hope it gets me through the covid-19 lockdown blues

You're the kind of person you meet at certain dismal, dull affairs Coughing in peoples faces getting snot in their hair It seems like you've picked up some kind of new disease I wish that you would not pollute the air I breath You better stop, and look around Cuz here it comes, yah here it comes Here it comes, here it comes It's the covid-19 nervous breakdown There's too many people here at this gathering We could do a better job of social distancing Half the people in this room are sneezing and coughing You've got a kotex up each nostril because you nose is running You better stop, and look around Cuz here it comes, yah here it comes Here it comes, here it comes It's the covid-19 nervous breakdown Are we insane, if we die we'll all be to blame They wouldn't let us go to work But now we're all here and that's even worse Your kids are home from school I guess that's messing with your mind So you thought you'd go somewhere and be with your own kind It's too bad we all came to the same place at the same time Now 3 or 4 percent of us could end up dying. You better stop, and look around Cuz here it comes, yah here it comes Here it comes, here it comes It's the covid-19 nervous breakdown Are we insane, if we die we'll all be to blame They wouldn't let us go to work But now we're all here and that's even worse We should probably listen to the scientists When it gets to diseases they really know their shit They tell us to keep separated by the length of a hockey stick And if we don't figure it out we'll probably regret it You better stop, and look around Cuz here it comes, yah here it comes Here it comes, here it comes It's the covid-19 nervous breakdown It's the covid-19 nervous breakdown

about

this could also be called how a kept sane through the covid-19 pandemic while everything I do, and everything that makes me who I am was banned. I was on tour with the dayglo abortions in Western Canada when it all began to unfold, and the lockdowns were imposed the morning after our last show in Vancouver. My first thoughts were..."I've been doing this for 40 years, barely making a living, but loving it nonetheless. If this goes on for long I might as well pack it in." So I went home and even got a job, but the music didn't turn off. This is a selection of songs I wrote while under lockdown in 2020. Since then I started a new dayglo album, and another with my band Stinkhorn, as well as recording and mixing a few bands on the side. I have decided that I can't stop making music, so I might as well share what I make. I hope you enjoy this collection of weird songs as much as I enjoyed making it. cheers

released April 27, 2021

all music and lyrics by Murray Acton except for covid-19 nervous breakdown, lyrics by Murray Acton, I obviously stole the song from some english band that's been around even longer than me. I hope they can get over it. I played all the instruments in these songs and recorded it into the Reaper DAW. I played the drums on my Roland VDrums when I couldn't find the appropriate beats in a library somewhere, and used a handful of vst synth plugins, as well as the ignite Emissary vst amp simulator for guitar and the ignite SHB for bass. Mixing it was the hardest part. It's way easier to mix other peoples music.
