Lyrics

Another day of quarantine

I’m sure it would be best

If we wrote swear words on the carpet

 forced the cat to wear a dress

Then we'll run up and down the hall

Just singing songs by Mötley Crüe

Then bash our heads against the wall

Cause there’s just fuck all else to do

Chorus

Pointless to wonder

Pointless to ask

How do we get through

This life in a mask

 

Dr Fauci wearily comes home

Kicks off his shoes

He’s Mr. ultimate authority

Purveyor of bad news

He doesn’t want to bring us down

He only wants to be our friend

He only wants to pop some ecstasy and dance to EDM

Chorus

I know that you’re filled with fear

Your face is sanitized with tears

There’s only you and me in here

You don’t need the gloves my dear

Chorus

very well done - ciao da sandro

Sandro Glavina is an italian composer, named L'Uomo e L'Ombra. The choice of the name derives from the title of the album "L'uomo e l'ombra" of the band "Abstract Music Nuova Esistenza", an experimental group founded by Sandro Glavina together with his friends in the mid-70s.

In the period 2009-2022, L'Uomo e L'Ombra has done 84 albums. The compositions of Sandro Glavina are partly influenced by progressive rock. Sandro has developed a personal style with many experimentations and actualizations. He offers music beyond borders by intertwining different styles in crossover with each other. Prog, psychedelia, classical, post-rock, jazz, pop are some of the influences that dissolve in ambient atmospheres, citations of contemporary music and minimalist nuances. Sandro Glavina aka L'Uomo e L'Ombra plays the music using VSTI synthesizers, keyboards and adds some loops. Sandro isn't a professional musician, composes and plays music just for fun, but his works reach a good outcome, pleasant to listen. L'UOMO E L'OMBRA

@Funeral_Breakfast
As I listen to the vocals, my thought leads to David Bowie or an unnamed Scottish singer, good storytelling. It is really well sung and the music is really top notch in my opinion. Well put together and done.

Hello Ian and Arianna, I couldn't agree more with you on this song; so much of this is pointless, and in truth the masks are a false sense of security; if you can smell a fart through them well not good according to many nurses, my friends! And Dr. Fauci who is all over the place; one day yes, next no, but I think he's a fear monger in truth! Not a good guy! A great song here that millions and millions of people can relate to including my wife Becky and I, Ian! Great lyrics and I love your line "Your face is sanitized with tears." Damn good line and lyrics and song, and your singing is simple superb, Ian! Is Naomi Hayes your daughter I assume, Ian? VME! Clay 10,000 Suns! 💯💯
