Story behind the song
Lockdown in London was very strange - no cars on the streets or planes flying over. The sounds of nature crept back in...
Lyrics
It's all gone quiet Not a stir or bustle on the street No hustle and no one to meet It's all gone quiet It's all gone quiet Not a single plane flying by Not even a contrail in the sky It's all gone quiet The birds are singing As food their bringing To their chicks as they're flying around I'm not complaining But my ears are straining For the slightest human sound It's all gone quiet Not a car or train to be heard No screech of tyres or angry word It's all gone quiet Instrumental It's all gone quiet Hardly heard a sound all the day Think Im beginning to like it this way It's all gone quiet It's all gone quiet Feels like we're the last two alive But I'm sure in silence we can thrive It's all gone quiet So here's me and miss Muffet sat on our tuffet Drinking our hibiscus tea Self isolation with your closest relation Ain't such a bad place to be Outro as intro plus It's all gone quiet It's all gone quiet It's all gone quiet Every so eerily quiet
