Positive Songs For Negative Times #16: Questions


We've all got a hell of a lot of questions at the moment.

When will the lockdown end?

What will happen when it does?

Will we get locked down again?

Can we trust those in power to make the right decision?

The future is just one big question mark, and our heads are full to bursting with all the unanswerables.

Here's a few less stressful questions to ponder, courtesy of The Courteeners...

I wonder if the De La Salle brothers got papped
And did their Holy Mothers and jealous Fathers ever feel trapped?
Did Mary like all the attention?
And did Jesus ever get detention?

I wonder if Caesar ever did his sums
And did Joan of Arc ever slip and slice her thumbs, chopping onions in double Home Economics?
And would Archimedes have liked electronics?

The number 17 and Steve McQueen
Seem an unlikely combination considering his elevation,
To Hollywood god and all-round blonde Adonis
I can't see him settling down in Heaton Norris

Would Elvis have been able to adapt?
Would he have gone to court over reports his phone was tapped?
Would Priscilla remain and reside by his side,
With the lonely loyalty of being his bride?

Panic stations don't set in, don't worry if you're not getting
The reward, that you think you deserve
Good things come to those who wait, god knows I've waited patiently
Take a ticket, there's a seat here next to me.

  1. Just spotted that question in the list in the image, "can you get coronavirus from farts"... It probably shouldn't, but that tickled me.
