'Covid Friendly' by Pretty Ruin. A homage to 'My Little Town' by Simon & Garfunkel (not a cover), black humour, mother smokers, 'Puffing Billy' joggers, mask-free Karen(s) and the lure of pharmodollars.

Lyrics:

In my little town
I grew up believing
God keeps an eye on us all

Smoking in a child's face
In a Covid friendly situation

I can't use no track and trace
Cause my phone is on a disconnection

Jogging at a full pace
In a Covid friendly situation

She won't even mask her face
I can feel a note of disaffection

It's alright baby, it's ok
We'll isolate for fourteen days

It's alright baby, it's ok
Let me take your breath away

Smoking in a child's face
In a Covid friendly situation

I can't use no track and trace
Cause my phone is on a disconnection

Jogging at a full pace
In a Covid friendly situation

She won't even mask her face
I can feel a note of disaffection

It's alright baby, it's ok
We'll isolate for fourteen days

It's alright baby, it's ok
Let me take your breath away

Outro Chant:

Dollar, give me dollar
We've got a vaccination for ya

Dollar, give me dollar
We've got a vaccination for ya

Dollar, give me dollar
We've got a vaccination for ya

Dollar, give me dollar
We've got a vaccination for ya

Dollar, give me dollar
We've got a vaccination for ya

The News, the seven-track debut E.P. by Paul Louis Archer, responds to past and present events by citing public figures such as Boris Johnson and Donald Trump, among other themes. Apart from the title song, all of the music on 'The News' is about subjects that won't make it to the news. Even the artwork has the Moon featured because rarely does any news happen there. A whiff of irony and black humour is involved.
