all eyes off the ball:

mere contemptible bourgeois folly.

The rain is unending,

the wind howls,

I step inside then
Well, well, look what I find here

You sat yourself

Chats in the Car
Chats in the Car

May be over the mountains
As the wheels meet the tar

With gangs free to turn up anywhere,
As the exception to the lock down rule over here,
With police giving them an escort to get there.

To reduce the stress on you, 
And get you in and out of view.
