Feeling sad, tense, overwhelm today
So fed up with it all
I know it's only me that gets in my own way
'Sreally nothing noone I can blame

Sticky sticky stuff
Had enough
Wish tomorrow I come unstuck

A Covid Romance

The sun did shine so I stepped outside
For a little local bike ride to take my daily exercise
I went to see the sea sea sea to see what I could see see see
And all that I could see see see

Was your big brown eyes 
And beautiful thighs
What a nice surprise what a nice surprise
Big brown thighs and beautiful eyes
What a nice surprise!

I really really want to touch you
Even if the regulations say I’d be a fool to
I want to get close with you
I’m thinking that it could feel really cool to break a little rule (or two or three oh me oh my oh my oh me)

Oh the dilemmas of a Covid romance
When you really really don’t wanna keep a distance
It’s tough knowing exactly where you stand 
When it’s two metres apart
Oh the dilemmas of a Covid romance
When you really really don’t wanna keep your distance
It’s tough knowing exactly where you stand 
When it’s two metres apart 
Two metres one metre uh uh

And I make myself excited
Looks like I’ve been invited into your bubble
I can see that you’re more than an appetiser
Meet me at 8 with a mask and sanitiser
Ah ah ah 

OH the dilemmas of a Covid romance
When you really really don’t wanna keep a distance
It’s tough knowing exactly where you stand 
When it’s two metres apart
The thrilling secret of a covert romance
When you really wanna get into each other’s pants
It’s tough knowing exactly where you stand 
When it’s two metres apart
It’s hard to isolate my heart

This is a Covid romance
A Covid romance
Our love is contraband
Take off your gloves I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

A Covid Romance

PRETTY FOR MYSELF 

G
I wanna make my room pretty, pretty for myself
Even though I know there’s gonna be nobody else 
B7
Gonna see it tonight it’s for my eyes alone 
I’m intent on recieving myself real well 

I wanna make myself pretty, pretty for myself
I wanna make myself pretty, real pretty for myself
And I know I don’t need anyone anybody else 
No I don’t need noone I can do this myself 

A
I love myself so much
                                   Am
I love my own tender touch
Me myself and I we gonna go Paradise/paraglide
I lie back and think of green and pleasant lands
Go hunting with arrows of burning desire
And my hands

I wanna make myself pretty, pretty for myself
I wanna make myself pretty, real pretty for myself
And I know I don’t need anyone anybody else 
And I know I don’t need anyone I really love myself 

I imagine me and you this and that  them and this
Timothee Chalomet and the peach and sex on the beach
Kissing in the kitchen wishing on horizons
Now my legs are shaking here I go again
Touchy feely getting real in a lucid dreamy way
Dirty dancer macho dancer gender bender Johnny Jane
Hey Johnny Jane and you in just your trainers 

I’m gonna make myself pretty, pretty for myself
I wanna make myself pretty, real pretty for myself
And I know I don’t need anyone anybody else 
And I know I don’t need anyone I really love myself 
I’m gonna make myself pretty, pretty for myself
I wanna make myself pretty, real pretty for myself
And I know I don’t need anyone anybody else 
And I know I don’t need anyone I really love myself 
 A
I love myself so much
I love my own tender touch
Me myself and I we gonna go paraglide
I lie back and think of green and pleasant lands
Go hunting with arrows of burning desire
And my hands

Spend some time on my socials and compile the perfect DSP playlist

Come away with me
                                 C
Let’s have a digital holiday
                         G
Holiday in the sun
                              F
Not one device in sight to spoil our appetite
Run away with me
Let’s have a digital holiday
Holiday in the sun and rain
Not a device in sight to spoil our f-f-f-fun or numb our pain

I feel like the opposite of a digital nomad
Stuck at home all day thinking of the good times I could've had
If I wasn’t hanging out with this machine 
I've been trying to be a one woman and her machine dream team
And it’s way too remote for me
                 G
I’ve got a hot spot but this isn’t very hot, it’s not
      F                                                                                        C
I’m nostalgic for the time before the internet I wanna get off

Get Down(E on gitar or Em uke(0402)/D/C/Cm)

I’ve been feeling pretty shitty today
It’s what you could call one of those days
I guess I got out of bed the wrong way
Never shoulda slept with my head facing West

I think about posting a sob story 
And I think unhelpful thoughts like ‘what’s wrong with me’
And ‘I really should have grown out of this, what a mess’
And in the end I send a friend a text/message 

And I say I feel overwhelmed and they say I’ll come over and help 
And they come over and we do some cleaning together 
And I play them this song and they say wow I’m important now
And we laugh and embrace and I’m feeling much better 
D/C
I get down sometimes
When there’s no one around
So come round sometime
I don’t wanna feel downright down
I can cope
I got a long and strong and beautiful rope
And tho I’m nowhere near the end of it
It’s so clear that friends have benefits

So come on over we can do some yoga 
Listen to music talk about the future 
I’ll make some food that’s healthy and tasty
Let’s go for a walk and talk about sex baby

I get down I get down
I get down so downright down
And tho I could lively up myself 
It feels real good to have some help
When it seems it’s just my luck and I’m unmotivated
And I’m feeling stuck and overcomplicate it 
Will you be the mate that gets me up?

You get me up you get me on up
You get me back on the scene
You’re like a loving machine
Telling me I’m a fabulous powerful queen bee
And you know, all this that you do for me
Well I’ll be there for you too if you need me to be

Thanks be to the mates that pick us up
