Covid 19
© 2020 Alice Brown/Pyramid Musik All Rights Reserved
Words and music by Alice Brown
There’s a strange disease. Its out there
It’s far away, Won’t come here
People are ill, they’re dying
Now locked up in their house now
What the hell is going on out there
Chorus
Covid 19 is here
Covid 19 is here
Covid 19 is here
Creeping ever closer, it’s out there
In Italy, what’s going on
It’s creeping, It’s spreading
It’s a lockdown, we’ve got nowhere to go
What the hell are we supposed to do now?
Chorus
Bridge
There’s panic is the shops and the streets out there
As people run around buying toilet rolls
Schools are shut, can’t go to the pub
Told to sit inside and look outside
The sky is ble I wann get out there
What the hell are we supposed to do now?
Chorus
Police on the streets, troops are all around
Trying to stop everyone going outside
What there hell are we supposed to do now?
Got to get some food, got to get some air
But they don’t care, got to keep it down
Gonna keep you so suppressed out there now
Chorus

Close my eyes
© 2019 Alice Brown/Pyramid Musik All Rights Reserved
words and music by Alice Brown
Chorus
Close my eyes, and float away
Close my eyes and, visit many places
Close my eyes, and float away
In my mind
I’ve visited
many places
beyond our eyes
they’re far away from here
I have wandered
Far away
From here
you can’t see
Chorus
Always surprised
where my mind takes me
The mountains, the lakes, and the seas
All so vivid
all so real
but they’re
all in my mind
Chorus
Places long lost
places still there
experiences had
lives once lived
All there to be explored
out into the wider world
Chorus
Repeat verse 1 & 2

Do you believe
© 1976 Alice Brown/Pyramid Musik All Rights Reserved
Words and music by Alice Brown
Do you believe in what you see before you now?
Is it real, I could never say
Looking at the ships on plasmic oceans, all in disguise
But what do I care
Chorus
Cos you’re only looking
for what you believe in
Only then will you survive
Cos you’re only looking
for what you believe in
Only then will you survive
There is nothing, you can do that can’t be done
Do you know
Look at life through my eyes and you’ll see
What I believe in, what I believe in
Chorus
Bridge
Do you know, do you realise
What you are doing to your mind?
We’ve got to keep on the path
We’ve got to keep on the path
Chorus
Repeat V2

Living in the cloud
© 2018 Alice Brown/Pyramid Musik All Rights Reserved
Words and music by Alice Brown
Modern life, living in the cloud
Being constantly updated
Constantly under scrutiny
your digital life
Never staying the same
Snapping your chat
Booking your face
Liking, loving wowing
Sometimes you’re angry Sometimes sad
The constant need to update
Your status
Chorus
Life is no longer on tape
Now longer low def
No longer 4k or Blu-ray
and everyone can see you
in 8 k
Eyes glued to a glowing screen
Eyes dilated by the light
No longer able to go to sleep
Constantly updating you status
Chorus
Bridge
Complete the journey
Complete the task
Update your status
Message, type, Siri
Cortana, Alexa, hey Google
What’s my status if you please
Where will it end
Who knows and who cares
Total integration Total immersion
Eyes covered
Seeing nothing but seeing everything
Chorus
Insipid, steadily
Creeping up on you
You don’t notice, never caring
Until one day
You fall over the edge
Falling falling falling

Bi-polar
© 2018 Alice Brown/Pyramid Musik All Rights Reserved
Words and music by Alice Brown
How come one minute you’re up
The next you’re down
Deeper and deeper Than you’ve known
The high’s are so good
The lows confound you
Chorus
Never a happy medium
No cross over point
If there is you’ve blinked
and you’ve missed it
Why, oh why don’t you see it coming
You’re on the highest cloud
All is well
Then the tears appear taking you down
No apparent reason is ever found
Chorus
Bridge
Looking back over your life
the same pattern, emerges from the gloom
Over and over, up and down
Only now does it make sense
Now you understand why this hapens
Chorus
Contemplation, reasoning
Confusion, resignation
Manic, depression
Bi-polar, hypnotic
Helpless despondency

One eyed monster
© 2010 Alice Brown/Pyramid Musik All Rights Reserved
Words and music by Alice Brown
The one eyed monster sits in the corner
Staring back at you
One flick of the wrist
Images and colour flood the room
Sit there dumb, staring at nothing
Not really watching, not listening too
Its just something, to fill the night
Before the dawn breaks through
Chorus
One eyed monster, viewer of peoples lives
The one true source
you’re allow to see
One eyed monster, master and devourer
Devourer of your dreams
Substituting some else’s in their place
mindless millions don’t see the illusion
Bridge
The one eyed monster
tells you what you need to know
The prism of other peoples views
And listens to everything you do
They are all the same, channels you watch
slurping up your info,
spewing forth mindless ads
The drivel of the modern life
Chorus

Foolish me
© 2010 Alice Brown/Pyramid Musik All Rights Reserved
Words and music by Alice Brown
Step outside the door
Into a new dimension
Where fear of strangers
Is the norm
Free? Ah foolish me
Free? Ah foolish me
Look out of place
Talk slightly strange
Looks of distrust
Replace those of joy
Free? Ah foolish me
Free? Ah foolish me
Bridge
Stopped and asked
who are you are
Your number scanned
Right arm released
Free? Ah foolish me
Free? Ah foolish me
No way to stop this
There is no way to break free
They have got you
Just where they want you
Free? Ah foolish me
Free? Ah foolish me
Bridge
Freedom for all
The mantra cried
Hopes soared
Then totally crushed
Free? Ah foolish me
Free? Ah foolish me
Turn back the clock
Stop the count
False hopes and dreams
No hope, no hope
Free? Ah foolish me
Free? Ah foolish me

The eyes that spy
© 2010 Alice Brown/Pyramid Musik All Rights Reserved
Words and music by Alice Brown
The web spreads, catching all who fall
There’s no escape
Cos if you do, your outside
Shut off from all you need
Robotic eyes scour and fire
Papers that fall though your door
Prove you’re innocent
Not them to prove otherwise
Chorus
Watch, they watch
All you do, every move you make
In your car, walking on the street
Or sitting at your desk
Watch, they watch
Bridge
They know what you buy
And where you have been
There’s no hiding now
from the eyes that spy
All recorded and filed away
waiting to see,
a click of the mouse, condemned
guilty before you know it
Chorus
Paranoia and fear is the new currency out there
controlling you with ease
It’ll never end, it will never end

No matter what
© 2010 Alice Brown/Pyramid Musik All Rights Reserved
Words and music by Alice Brown
Chorus
No matter what you say or do
Your body tells me what is true
No matter what you say or do
Your body tells me what is true
Sitting in the meeting room
Impassively hiding what you feel
I read the signs, I see your truth
No matter what, your lies will out
Clutching at straws, to mend the deed
There’s no way out, the lies been seen
The truth will out, There’s no escape
Your body betrayed, your inner schemes
Chorus
There is no escape, you’ve told me lies
Justice demands, you pay the fine
The body told me most honestly
The truth, that you tried to hide
Chorus
Repeat verse 2
