Seems like Sunday all the time
Strange strange days
Silent streets no church bells chime
Strange strange days
Each day’s like Sunday It’s not real
It’s hard to say the way I feel
Sometimes I’m up and then I’m down
In the empty streets of my home town
Don’t matter what we do or say
Can’t make this one go away
Strange strange days Strange strange days
Sunday silence walk alone
Strange strange days
Everybody’s staying home
Strange strange days
When sadness grips me in the rain
I believe the sun will come again
Then we’ll walk and talk all day
We’ll see the children run and play
We’ll meet old friends and hear them say
Your’e looking well this lovely day
Feelin good it’s all OK, it’s all OK it’s all OK

The Ballad Of Staff Nurse Stephanie
Words and music R. Arbuckle (IMRO)
She didn’t look like a hero, but how do heroes appear
From picket line to Pandemic
She never gave in to fear
When she started that journey there were tears there was fear.
Fear for her friends and her family
Tears for the folks in her care
Tears for all the families Who never got to say goodbye
She didn’t need too be a hero
Didn’t need that at all
She just counted her blessings
And kept on answering the call
Then one day the morning coffee
Didn’t taste like it should
Nothing wrong with the coffee
the virus did what it did
She went to live on her lonesome
In a house on her own
No friends or family
All the time all alone.
CHORUS
The back to work on the nightshift
Praying for the daylight
Holding hands with the people
Trying to make it through the night
Watching the sun rise
And glad to see the daylight
All the handclaps and free food
Could not make anything right
CHORUS Twice
