COVID 2 Live animal collection team Wuhan Market

Hey look friend another one of those dopey Pangolins
Come on pick him up, stick him in the back of the truck too
He'll still make someone a nice Pangolin stew
On the markets of Wuhan

Boss - what about the berries -you pick 'em you carry 'em too Terry

In the bustling streets of Wuhan:
Man its hot here, I hardly move for people-
Hey where do you want these crates of Pangolin?
Just stack them up over there next to the snakes
And the lizards, mind don't make mistakes

Wuhan, Wuhan, they're selling everything here
From live bats in cages to tigers from stones ages
Anything to increase your life span
Wuhan, Wuhan in the markets of Wuhan
You can buy what ever will make you hard, soft boil a live chick
In vat of bubbling oil
There's an old woman chasing chickens with a carving knife
There's a little boy laughing poking a monkey crying for his life
There are rattle snakes chattering, old hogs gaffawing
In Wuhan, where you can spend a day shopping with your wife
Buy it live, buy it fresh, just out from the forests, don't mind the pest
You want the best you can.. get? Then you come to the markets of Wuhan

COVID 1 - The Pangolin

I am a Pangolin

Just sniffing around the ground
They can't get a thing on me
I'm the epitomy of anonimity
My scaly back my long nose rubbing up
Against a grub
Or sniffing a rose
Just shooting the breeze with my Pangolin friends
When Atissue, sneeze and then that is the end

COVID 0 - The Bat

I am the bat that lives in the cave
My dropping go splat, but we can be brave
None of us are afraid of the dark - we are bats of course
That would be absurd
Whose ever heard of that
Only up in the colony went around the word
That in some cave in south China
Just take a right at Nepal and you're into Asia Minor
The bats are dropping like flies, that's all
Who told me that? Oh another bat name Mike
In fact there he is down there in the guano
Hey Mike stop being a banana get up here you cat
_Don't mind him he's a fruit bat -they're always a bit bananas
That's strange he's not moving, just taking a rest I expect
Still I have to be off, I've a nice berry bush I'm picking
Near a Pangolin nest, oh they are pests, don't get me started
Seeya Mike -they say a change is as good as a rest

Like snow on cherry blossom

Like snow on cherry blossom
That is my heart
So cold in the morning
Before the day's start

All day wind knocks its branches
But the petals will not fall
Like snow on cherry blossom
That is love's all

Come see the rose with twisted stem
climb up the briar to the light
Come see the fire's licking tongues
Reach up into the starry night

Like snow on cherry blossom
This is our world
Turning in a darkness of space
Where its hurled

My Family

Together in our hearts even though we be apart
That is where family is
Though the distances be long
Though time and life wear on
There are more foot steps to be trod
More roads to be rove
More loves to be knowed
Along the road
Together in our hearts
Forever no one departs
This circle is tighter than heaven's bonds
Always in our hearts

No man is an island

Yes all of them that made the world

Now they are dead and gone

And we can start our own dominion

In the great Babylon

Oh all the world is rotting now

There's new life in the turf

That some ploughman will dig up

The sod that lays his earth

And no man is an island

And no woman is the surf

But each breaks upon the other

Like they know what love is worth

And earthworms dig my fields

They lay foundations for skyscapers

They grew the vegetables that fed

A nation and we forget these helpers

For no man is an island

And no woman is the surf

That laps upon his shores at night

Like ship wrecks giving birth

And love is but a ghost ship

Roaming the seven seas

And the Captain is a pirate

Who takes gold from great ladies

And the cook is his grace

Who yet procures him meals

Upon the Captains table

Surrounded by the treasure he steals

And no man is and island

And no woman is the sea

And yet he is surrounded by

Love's inconstancy  

Turn away

Well the home where I was born
It was green and it was warm
In its lush and rolling hills
I did roam

And I felt like a king
Everytime I climbed
I knelt to him
In the land of the lord
That's my home

Well turn away, turn away
From the face that knows you well
Turn away turn away from that road
Thou must journey on
Like Pilgrim father, so his son
He must seek, restless rover
A new home

Turn away, turn away
From the folk, of your yoke
Turn away like the cattle's heads
Follow another ceaseless river
From the mother, the great giver
To a land where you may start again

Turn away on this day
Turn away on this night
The spirits play, by the early daylight
And in the dawn, the coming dawn
When new life is reborn
Turn away from that home
Start into flight
