about

Alanna and Alicia are excited to release their new song ‘Sincerely Covid’. This satirical, cautionary tale was created amidst the shadowy gloom of Stage 4 Melbourne lockdown. In these isolating Covid days, where the live music scene has frozen, it is comforting that songs can still reach listeners. Alanna and Alicia thank everyone who collaborated remotely to make this new song happen!

lyrics

Sincerely, Covid


watched you
before lockdown
before I forced every playground, pool, school, café
and border to close down

before lockdown
before lockdown
before lockdown
you thought you ruled this town

so, there’ll be
no hugging in the street
no smooching in the bar
swap power suit for tracksuit
go to your room
until you learn how to behave
you'll be enslaved by zoom
in lockdown

got you
dawn of lockdown
you thought your economy was built of stone
till I forced the whole world to stay home

in lockdown
in lockdown
welcome to my ghost town of lockdown

no excuse
if you're on the loose
with more than two
cop an on the spot fine
do your time, stay confined
you're mine,
in lockdown

haunting you
in solitude
in lockdown
will you change your ways
if I spin this ailing world to life again?
or stay condemned
to lockdown
lockdown
in lockdown you dance with me now


eyes dart from masks
back off six feet
I’m the silent virus
I creep deserted streets
healthy, wealthy and white
won’t escape my appetite
vaccine will never catch me
till you change your priorities
sincerely, Covid19
