This one's been on my mind for a couple of days, but I wrote it out quickly this evening. I'm discouraged by the major setbacks against the virus here in the US, so it's a sad one. Sorry to be a bummer... Getting to the Point -Eloneen version about the pandemic (circa August 2021) in the USIt's out of control (out of control) But there's something we can do now Out of control (out of control) Raging 'cross the red, white and blue now And look beyond our shores, Should we share our vaccine stores? It's getting to the point Getting to the point It's out of control (but there's something we can do) Like a fire that keeps on burning And everybody knows (what we need to do) As the virus keeps on churning Is it just too much to ask, To get the shot and wear a mask? It's getting to the point, It's getting to the point Chorus:It's getting to the point Will we finally stop it now? It's getting to the point Will we ever learn? And all that we can do Is stand and watch it now, Watch it burn, burn, burn?
It's getting to the point Where reason is forgotten It's getting to the point Where rumors rule And all that you can do Is claim your "freedom?" How can you be so cruel? It's getting to the pointOh, COVID, isn't child's play No, COVID takes your breath away We've tried to talk about it, Tried to understand But it's getting to the point, Getting to the point. Chorus

The day after the second jab (Moderna) was terrible.
High fever, pains all over my body, excessive sweating.
After 24 hours I was fine, everything disappeared.
Just downloaded the Green Pass, I need it for the gym, restaurant, and so on.

A bit scary, wasn't it? Glad you're fine.

Yes, good to hear you're back on top form Buttler - a strong reaction to the vaccine is meant to show a bit of how the actual virus would affect you so you definitely did the right thing eloneen - yet another fantastic lyric re-write, congrats! Sadly it is very apt for current times but if more people considered it we'd be in a much better place.

Here's another pandemic-inspired lyrics rewrite, this time concerning one of our own. We've all felt for Timeblue as he's booked his appointments, waited his turn, and braved the jabs - only to leave without the official NHS sticker he'd been dreaming of. But his story ends on a note of triumph. To be sung to the tune of "Ticket To The Moon". Sticker For Me RoomRemember the good old 1960s When with injections we got sweeties I wish I could go back there again Have a lollipop to ease the strain I want a sticker for me room! I'd been dreaming of my jab date soon Yeah, I could've skipped it and stayed home But I'd rather earn that small prize (And be immunised!) Want a sticker for me room! I'll be showing it to all me friends on Zoom "It's unfair," I cry - I turned to face the pain, They sent me home without a beer though, Or a Freddo Sticker for me room! (Ticket to immune!) Sticker for me room! (Fix it, doctor, soon!) Virtual one will do! (Thanks, HW!) My, my, heaved a troubled sigh - Accrued an award, shiny bright, woo-hoo! Tried not to be smug, Dreaming madly of the sticker yet to come Wondering sadly if I'd ever get to hear "Please turn around, we have your badge here, Waiting there...." WICKED! What a boon! What's left here today? - A sheet of 52! Should I trim it, sell em off except for two? Sheet's been left there, what more can I say? It's come my way! (Repeat chorus)
