I got the old furlough blues I simply don’t know what to do The world has changed And I’ve got no clue If normal will return For me and you I had a job But its all shot through I’ve got three weeks of nothing The State’s paying my dues I wake up late But I don’t sleep well The smallest task Starts feeling like hell I got the old furlough blues I simply don’t know what to do The world has changed And I’ve got no clue If normal will return For me and you I’m trying to keep on An upbeat path But reality is This isn’t a laugh I’m tired of dealing In uncertainty I’m bored of the endless Cups of tea I got the old furlough blues I simply don’t know what to do The world has changed And I’ve got no clue If normal will return For me and you I want to break out I want to feel free To give you a hug And dance until three I’m through with this lockdown I’m sad and I’m blue Guess that’s what they call The Furlough blues

Furlough Blues
I got the old furlough blues I simply don’t know what to do The world has changed And I’ve got no clue If normal will return For me and you I had a job But its all shot through I’ve got three weeks of nothing The State’s paying my dues I wake up late But I don’t sleep well The smallest task Starts feeling like hell I got the old furlough blues I simply don’t know what to do The world has changed And I’ve got no clue If normal will return For me and you I’m trying to keep on An upbeat path But reality is This isn’t a laugh I’m tired of dealing In uncertainty I’m bored of the endless Cups of tea I got the old furlough blues I simply don’t know what to do The world has changed And I’ve got no clue If normal will return For me and you I want to break out I want to feel free To give you a hug And dance until three I’m through with this lockdown I’m sad and I’m blue Guess that’s what they call The Furlough blues
