CHS 1:
FEAR IS A VIRUS
KEEP IT BOTTLED UP INSIDE US
KEEP THE DREAMS QUARANTINED
ISOLATION IS DESIRE-OUS
If it wasn't so scary it'd
be real nice
To cross the road without
looking twice
Peaceful, without the people
All the living room's full
FEAR IS A VIRUS
POWERFUL ENOUGH TO GUIDE US
SOCIETAL CHANGE CAN BE ARRANGED
IF THE STAKES ARE HIGH ENOUGH
So deposit yo' merry put your
life on ice
Entertain your multi-vice
An excuse to be a recluse, but yo
- check yo' blues
(yo, watch the news)
VS 1
Paranoid, panic-buy
Polaroid, panic-guy
Calling it a Corona-coroner
Falling it on a lone foreigner
Fear of the other, crystallised
Here is another, realised
Peers and your brothers, all despised
Tears falling from her, in disguise
Living in FEAR is a blessed curse
This reality is best if you fear the worst
Lean back, waiting what to be told
but happiness comes from inside your soul
CHS 2
FEAR IS A VIRUS
KEEP IT BOTTLED UP INSIDE US
KEEP THE DREAMS QUARANTINED
ISOLATION IS DESIRE-OUS
Craving contact when you're stuck inside
but
Witnessing the mob makes you want to hide
The unwashed hordes are getting bored
Batten down the Apple Store
FEAR IS A VIRUS
EVEN REASON CAN'T INSPIRE US
ISN'T IT WEIRD HOW NORMAL FEAR APPEARS?
I CAN'T REMEMBER ENTIRE MONTHS
People say p-p-paranoia will destroy ya
Sometimes it is the best thing for ya
Keepin' secret, keepin' safe - STAY ALERT
Gettin' Yours before they desert
VS 2
Close the door, keep it locked
Chosen yours, content stocked
Open stores, toilet blocked,
Hope endures, often mocked
Only Socialist when the whole world goes to sh-----
I wonder - when returned to normal, will we return to formal
Exploitation? Decimation of Nations, when
Faced with devastation we are all patient -
One humanity [x2]
B-Section
Rain or shine,
It's always a beautiful day -
Don't forget that you're still alive
I'm really grateful that you're still
available to me

[STILL ALIVE]
Rain or shine...
[STILL ALIVE]
Don't forget...
(Ooooh) I'm so grateful...
[STILL ALIVE]
(YEAH)
Take some time and think about it...
[STILL -]
Rain or shine,
It's always a beautiful day...
Look around...
[STILL ALIVE]
Don't forget you're STILL ALIVE
(YEAH)
Just what am I thankful for?
[STILL ALIVE]
(Yeah)
So take a breath
And take some time
To look around you
(Ooooh)
I'm so grateful
You're still available to me...
Don't forget you're still alive
(Oooh)
I'm so grateful
That I could spend this time with you
Don't forget you're still alive.

Wilsoni Tha' Funk Masta Edinburgh, UK
The Funk is not a style of music - it's an attitude!
The world's got the Placebo Syndrome,
in a time of hardships, turmoil, greed and superficiality. Wilsoni is reminding folks that The Funk is relevant in the 21st Century.
The Acid Jazz has left London, so he's back in Auld Reekie trying to make sense of the world. The Jam Hard Vanguard - rallying Funkateers to a revolution of the mind!

I'm deep in an Oz-Funk hole, and despite hearing these folks from Tazzy on BBC Radio 6 Music, I've not heard from them since. Give them props - their beats are heavy!

Comrade Caspar Sutton-Jones, whose saxy licks add fire to Wilsoni's records, is featured in this London ensemble. Reminiscent of the P - but if youre on more of a Jazzy tip - check Nomad Collective
