    Do you have the social distancing blues?! So do we. Here's an album we've written and recorded from our home over the past few months, inspired by COVID-19. With all of our tours and shows cancelled for the foreseeable future (and since March), we figured we'd set our sites on something topical. We hope these songs can help you get through these strange times.

lyrics

No Time To Get Bored

I know the world’s gone crazy, and you don’t know what to do
But I am here to help, to help you make it through
You might not even know what day or week it is
But I am am used to that, because I work in show biz
You might be bored
Of keeping your hands clean
Well here are some suggestions,
Thanks to COVID-19

Oh, you can meditate or write some poetry
You can eat a snack whenever you’re hungry
You can talk to your plants
Try on all your pants
Write your will
And then learn calligraphy

You can practice yoga then go dye your hair
You can go outside and breathe in some fresh air
You can knit or crochet,
Maybe you’ll learn today
You can even organise your Tupperware

CHORUS
Because we’re quarantined
And there ain’t much that we can still afford
Oh yes we’re quarantined
But we don’t have to be bored!

You can read a book or sing a little song
Take a nap, and then learn to play mah-jong
You can paint, you can play
What have you done today?
If you’ve got roommates, I sure hope you get along

You can call your ex and tell them that you’re stable
Or memorise the periodic table
You can learn Taekwondo, you can Marie Kondo
You can watch Lifetime as long as you have cable

CHORUS

You can look at puppies on the internet
Or do or aerobics til you break a sweat
You can watch all of Star Wars
Clean all of your drawers
Learn the Hebrew alphabet

Study language, learn from Duolingo
You can organize a solo game of bingo
You can blog, play guitar, baby, you will go far!
You can decorate your yard with a flamingo

CHORUS

So don’t tell me that you’ve got nothing to do
If you still don’t, the problem might be you
So just get off of your ass
Wipe your face
Raise your glass
I promise that we’re gonna make it through
Make it through
Make it through!
