The Dream Song

Tonight, I am a pirate, on the seven seas.
And then, I fly my spaceship, across the galaxy
While I play cards with the royal guards
Every thing, makes sense to me
Coz I'm
Living the same dream
Living the same dream
Every day
Every day
Waking with new dreams
Waking with new dreams
Every night
Every night
Or maybe just I'm dying in a persistent dream
Tonight, my teeth might fall out, if I fail the test
Exam, notes cover my hand, but I am still undressed
I start to fall too scared to call
Every one, needs time I guess
That we're
Living the same dream
Living the same dream
Every day
Every day
Waking with new dreams
Waking with new dreams
Every night
Every night
8 hours to work
8 hours of play
8 hours to sleep
Again today
Tonight, I live in Chelsea, by the river Thames
I spy, on paparazzi, supplying drinks to friends
This chase speeds up. They might catch up
Every dream, dies through a lens

Verse 1
All we have to do, is stay inside. stay inside
help the NHS. Stay at home, and Save lives.
For just a week, for just a month, we’ll get through
So stay inside. That is all- we have, to do.
All we have to do, is wash our hands. wash our hands
So Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday. Understand?
Spread cleanliness, after every, rendezvous
keep washing hands. That is all we have, to do.
Chorus
This is the new normal
This is, our life now
This is the new normal
This is, our life now
Verse 2
All we have to do, is stay apart. stay apart
two meter distance, or one meter, with a mask
I can't infect you, if I can't, hug you
So stay apart. That is all we have, to do.
All we have to do, is slow the spread. flatten the curve
If we meet less, we'll get back life, that we deserve
This is not lockdown, let's just call it, tier two
Flatten the curve. That is all we have, to do.
Chorus
This is the new normal
This is, our life now
This is the new normal
This is, your life now
Verse 3
All we have to do, is take a test. take a test.
Use the app to Scan, the QR code, like the rest
give your details, so we can track, and trace you
So take a test. That is all you have, to do.
Bridge
We make the rules. They apply to you.
We follow the science. When it suits us to.
Our new world order, will benefit you
So do as you're told don't do as we do
Chorus
Follow the new normal
This is, your life now
Follow the new normal
This is, your life now
Verse 4
All we have to do, to close the shops, close the shops
If you don't go out, You don't need shoes, don't need tops
Your job's not needed, I'm sorry, but it's true
So close the shops. That is all we have, to do.
Chorus
O-bey the new normal
This is, your life now
O-bey the new normal
This is, your life now
Verse 5
All you have to do, is not get sick, don't get sick
We've stopped your treatment, for every thing, unless it's quick
Act like you have it, pretend you don't. it's just flu
So don't get sick. That is all- you have, to do.
All you have to do, is just behave. just behave.
We know what is best, so just shut up, and be brave
Another year might seem like it's de ja vu
But just behave. That’s all you have to do.

The Meme Song
04:59
|

Intro
"How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?" are you all ready?
To hear how we went from first date to going steady
"Hold My Beer", as I look like a lolcat grinning
But clean this sheen and I'll show you how I'm “winning”
And I will tell you, my dear, "What you meme to me"
Verse 1
You would send me an image with bold impact text
Large white letters, outlined in black, and next
Slap it online like Robin gets slapped by Batman
Send to me, Facebook, Twitter, and 4Chan
You knew hardly anything about your new bay
Am I "Good Girl Gina" or a "Clueless Pad-may"?
Perhaps I'm that woman, who is yelling at a cat
Or a “Girlfriend” that's simply “overly attached”?
I know you try to be just like a "Good Guy Greg"
By not sending flowers, but by emailing me jay pegs
You are not a Florida man so "This is fine"
Won't be "Forever Alone". "I'm gonna make you mine."
Chorus
Some people talk in low whispers
Some people talk in secret code
We share our life with images
Download. edit. and upload
Verse 2
“You Had One Job”: tell you friends, “What I Really Do”
To convince them it's not “What People Think I Do”
But you just said "Ain't Nobody Got Time for That"
Like "it's a trap", or a Citizen Kane's hand clap
Are you “grumpy cat”, “nyan cat” or “Ceiling Cat”
The “Cheezeburger” cat, Or "I Should Buy a Boat" Cat
“Keyboard” Cat, “Stare”cat, or an “unamused trashcat”?
A “limecat”, “Nora the Cat”, or “Chemistry Cat”...
Verse 3
You, For One, “Welcome Our New Insect Overlords”
And know “Chuck Norris” does not simply “walk into Mordor”
It's because you know all of this, you're in my dreams
And claim, "You Know Nothing, Jon Snow" coz you “know your memes”
Chorus
Some people talk in low whispers
Some people talk in secret code
We share our life with images
Download. edit. and upload
Chorus (archaic)
Members of our nation, offer communication, with hushed articulation
Others might exchange knowledge, they receive using an obfuscated terminology
You and I distribute a selection, of our mutual collection, of etchings
Transfer original boilerplate. Artistically manipulate, and virally disseminate
Verse 4
Are you a “dogo dog”, an “awesome dog”? "Yes, This is Dog"
“Dog or bagel”, “Why not both?”, “Yo dawg”
Hey Snoop - “You’re the man now, dog!",
Coz On the internet, “nobody knows you're a dog”
