Stuck Inside Murano Street With the Lockdown Blues Again



(For all the Glasgow University students quarantined in the Murano Street Student Village)


The rats along the Forth and Clyde Canal
At least they can go swimming with their friends
I gaze from my window out at Maryhill
And wait for my quarantine to end

I have 22 Pot Noodles in the kitchen
Sweet and Sour, Brazilian Barbecue
From Friday through to Sunday it’s McDonalds
We’ve all got discounts  on Deliveroo

And I pray that Princess Nicola will someday set us free
If you want to test a vaccine stick a needle into me
The university say 
They won’t refund our rent
I’m Stuck Inside Murano Street
With the Lockdown Blues Again

I’m sharing with two guys from South Korea
One from Singapore and one from Stornoway
Joe the civil engineer is back in Saltcoats
He was kidnapped by his Auntie yesterday

Chorus

Thousands of us here now have been afflicted 
It’s not as if this could have been predicted
