My word...Pam Ayres has changed direction somewhat in recent months.
Iâm hanging out in Camden, drinking with my girlfriends on a Saturday night.
Iâd like to be
under the sea
in an octopusâ garden
in the shade
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Inside, stay inside
Weâre livinâ la vida Covid
Itâll push and pull you down
Livinâ la vida Covid
Your face should be masked
And youâre doubting the way you voted.
They will wear you out
Livinâ la vida Covid (Come on!)
Livinâ la vida Covid (Come on!)
Weâre livinâ la vida Covid
Edit: Just noticed I misread the topic title. I thought it was along the lines of âsum up your life in song lyricsâ, but I should have been singing what Iâd rather be doing instead.
Iâll have another go.
I come home in the morning light
Mrs Chimp says, âWhen you gonna live your life right?â
Oh darling dear weâre not the fortunate ones
And Chimps, they wanna have fun
Oh Chimps just want to have fun
The phone rings in the middle of the night
Mrs Chimp yells, âWhat you gonna do with your life?â
Oh darling dear, you know youâre still number one
But Chimps, they wanna have fun
Oh Chimps just want to have
Thatâs all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh Chimps, they wanna have fun
Oh Chimps just wanna have fun (Chimps, they wanna, wanna have fun, Chimps wanna have)
Some girls take a beautiful Chimp
And hide him away like some kind of gimp
I want to be the one to play in the sun
Oh Chimps they wanna have fun
Oh Chimps just wanna have
Thatâs all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh Chimps, they wanna have fun
Oh Chimps just wanna have fun (Chimps, they wanna, wanna have fun, Chimps wanna have)
When the working day is done (they just wanna, they just wanna)
Oh when the working day is done, oh Chimps (Chimps just wanna have fun)
Chimps just wanna have fun (they just wanna, they just wanna)
Given Iâm stood in a wet field getting rained on this is me currently:
âOh, where did the blue sky go?
And why is it raining so?
Itâs so cold
Why does it always rain on me?â
And this is what Iâd like:
âOn an island in the sun
Weâll be playinâ and havinâ funâ
Nope, Mr Chimp, Iâm not âUnder the weatherâ with Covid thankfully!
Lazing On A Sunday AfternoonâŚ
Dance beneath the diamond sky
With one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea
Circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate
Driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow
