about

Originally released as a single, Wuhan is an ironic, rather cynical homage to the place where it all began.

lyrics

With the whole world trapped by Covid syndrome
Let’s take a look at the pandemic’s home
From Central China came the wave
from the capital city of Hubei

You all know the story it came from a bat
Sold in a market and the market was wet
With animals alive there aint no vet
You can buy anythin’ at a wet market

CHORUS
Wuhan, Wuhan, everyone’s thinkin’ about Wuhan
Wuhan, Wuhan, let’s all give a cheer
(for) Wuhan, Wuhan, everyone’s talkin’ bout Wuhan
Wuhan, Wuhan … whole thing started there

It’s a bit like flu, a pandemic stew
Your body aches, lungs turn to glue
It’s fast and deadly and jumps the queue
You’ll dread the day when it gets you

They locked them up, they locked ‘em in
At first it seemed like the greatest sin
Until we saw it as what we need
The spread of Covid threw the world to its knees

CHORUS
(INSTRUMENTAL)

5) Now we know, now we can
Feel what happened at Wuhan
We’re wearing masks, the fashion spread
Keep a ventilator at your bed

CHORUS (X2)
