Please forgive me for not being around much lately (again!). I’ve just got over Covid. It didn’t hit me as hard as some but recovery has been slow. I still feel knackered, but better than the alternative!!..I’ll stop whining shall I?!! Here’s my latest offering. The subject matter is pretty obvious. It’s about the time before the scientists worked their magic and came up with the vaccines. It’s meant to be enjoyed even if the lyrics are a bit darker than my usual stuff.
Lateral Flow
Words & Music ©2022 Chris Price
A sensation that you can’t see
Takes off like it’s meant to be
A bolt of lightning out of the blue
And it can happen to me and you
No quick fix and no inoculation
Got no pills to stop you getting sick
No matter what you do or what’s your occupation
Get on the case and do it real quick
It’s time for some lateral flow
All about where the pokey stick go
Right in front of you, it’s there on the line...wait a little time
Got it’s hooks into you and me
Gotta feeling that we’ll never be free
Fixing the numbers n cooking the books
Dropping like flies everywhere you look
Following the science and every soundbite
Talking shit and never get it right
World beating, politics speak
hypocritical bubble and squeak
It’s time for some lateral flow
All about where the pokey stick go
Right in front of you, it’s there on the line...wait a little time
One..you feel real sick
Two.. there’s no quick fix
Three..it’s all on the line
Four...this could be your time
Five...it’s time to pray
That we live to see another day
Pray for our brothers, pray for our sisters
who checked out too soon today
Lateral Flow..where the pokey stick go
Talkin’ bout Lateral Flow...where it come from I don’t know
Lateral Flow..where the pokey stick go
We all need some Lateral Flow...where it come from…
