DO AS I SAY NOT AS I DO, IS IT COVID OR MANFLU? TRACK AND TRACE, COVER YOUR FACE, WEAR A MASK AND KNOW YOUR PLACE; GO OUTSIDE BUT STAY INDOORS, GO TO WORK EVEN THOUGH IT’S CLOSED, CLAP YOUR HANDS THEN WASH YOUR HANDS, DOES ANYBODY UNDERSTAND? GO TO WORK, DON’T GO TO WORK, TAKE THE BUS, DON’T TAKE THE TRAIN, TAKE THE TRAIN, DON’T TAKE THE BUS, STAY IN LINE AND CAUSE NO FUSS; EXERCISE, DON’T EXERCISE, BE ALERT, WE NEED MORE LERTS, TAKE A WALK BUT STAY INDOORS, STOP THE SPREAD AND HIT THE SHED. FURLOUGH, OH I’M GONNA HAVE TO HIT THE SHED. SANITIZE AND EAT MY LIES, SAVING LIVES NOT CHANGING WIVES, A WIRE BRUSH, A GARDEN HOSE, BLOW YOUR NOSE THEN BURN YOUR CLOTHES; A BOTTLE OF METHS, FINANCIAL TIMES, TO RUB YOU DOWN BEHIND SAFE LINES, TOILET PAPER, PASTA AND FLOUR, I GOT PASSATA FEEL MY POWER. GO TO WORK, DON’T GO TO WORK, TAKE THE BUS, DON’T TAKE THE TRAIN, TAKE THE TRAIN, DON’T TAKE THE BUS, STAY IN LINE AND CAUSE NO FUSS; DOWNLOAD THE APP ONTO YOUR PHONE, BECOME THEIR SPY, BECOME THEIR DRONE, TO SEE HOW FAR THEIR DISEASE HAS SPREAD, WHEN YOU FIND OUT YOU’LL HIT THE SHED. FURLOUGH,OH I’M GONNA HAVE TO HIT THE SHED. A BRAND NEW CONTINUOUS COUGH, LEAVES ME SLEEPING IN THE LOFT, MY TEMPERATURE IS THROUGH THE ROOF, THEY ALL THINK THEY’RE SO BULLETPROOF; WATCHING REPEATS TO STIMULATE MY BRAIN, AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, MY SANITY’S NO GUARANTEE, ‘CAUSE THESE 4 WALLS ARE EATING ME. GO TO WORK, DON’T GO TO WORK, TAKE THE BUS, DON’T TAKE THE TRAIN, TAKE THE TRAIN, DON’T TAKE THE BUS, STAY IN LINE AND CAUSE NO FUSS; DOWNLOAD THE APP ONTO YOUR PHONE, BECOME THEIR SPY, BECOME THEIR DRONE, TO SEE HOW FAR THEIR DISEASE HAS SPREAD, WHEN YOU FIND OUT YOU’LL HIT THE SHED. FURLOUGH, OH I’M GONNA HAVE TO HIT THE SHED.

about

Steve and I had met up for the first time in 20 years this February and later in the month he sent me some electronic demos. When lockdown kicked in I found one of his demos that he'd titled "Hit The Shed".

Soon I started amassing lyrics inspired by the ridiculous situation we had found ourselves in. Steve and I sent ideas back and forth and by the end of the day we had the lyrics down. I sent the rough demo to Dave who recorded some great drums for the track and took it into another world.

The title refers to escaping. Instead of hitting the dancefloor, hitting the shed.
