about
This song emerged during lockdown #3 - remember that? By that stage the winter was feeling mightily long. The boiler in my flat on North Circular Road was broken, and my employer was sending me reminders to bake a cake at home for a virtual leaving lunch. The neighbours below me were pumping out clubland tunes and I was really relating to ‘Cracking Up’ by Nick Lowe.
lyrics
I guess it’s finally getting in on me
A deep fatigue for February
A year’s disappeared but the days go slow
Stuck in a loop on North Circular Road
The boiler’s broken, and I’m cracked too
Fairy lights can only do so much for our mood
At 1pm it’s the remote staff meeting,
We’re having ‘virtual cake’ for the girl who’s leaving
I guess it’s finally getting in on me
The old fatigue for February
Tiesto’s blaring, from the flat below
Til’ 3am that’s just how they cope I suppose
I’m gonna build a fort in the living room
Crawl back into this man-made womb
Learn to monetise my anxieties
Make a mental health podcast for RTÉ
I mean I’m no expert, but you know I’m owning it…
I wanna go back
To a simpler time
Playing Championship Manager 98-99
Where I’ll have some control
And know what to do
Take Wolves on a cup run
Til’ that falls apart too
