about
During lockdown, we were unable to get together and make music like we normally do, so we wrote this by sending different bits to each other like a musical relay race!

lyrics
Verse 1
It's a cold December evening, my friends are feeling far apart
I've bolted all the doors and windows and quarantined my aching heart
But let's all stand together and stare into the magic box
Utopia seems far away but we’ll still write some stupid songs
Chorus
Don't go outside, the world's locked down
Cheer up, stay in, we'll sing around
Though there are miles and masks between
Our music won't be quarantined
Don’t go outside, there’s nothing there
Lets watch a stream and grow out our hair
We miss the shows and miss our friends
See you all when Lockdown ends
Verse 2
The days are getting shorter, It looks like there's no end in sight
I can't remember how it feels, to take a step outside
But let's turn up the heating, and pop the kettle on
Raise a glass to all the good times, that are still to come
Chorus
Don't go outside, the world's locked down
Cheer up, stay in, we'll sing around
Though there are miles and masks between
Our music won't be quarantined
Don’t go outside, there’s nothing there
Lets watch a stream and grow out our hair
We miss the shows and miss our friends
See you all when Lockdown ends
Mid 8
We know, there’s gonna be better time to come
And we know, that love will always be there
We were born to be wild
And too long we’ve been exiled
When there’s zero cases, we’ll hire drinking places,
Some tight indoor spaces, We long for your faces!
Chorus
Don't go outside, the world's locked down
Cheer up, stay in, we'll sing around
Though there are miles and masks between
Our music won't be quarantined
Don’t go outside, there’s nothing there
Lets watch a stream and grow out our hair
We miss the shows and miss our friends
See you all when Lockdown ends
The Longest Johns are a Bristol based, a capella folk music band, born out of a mutual love of traditional folk songs and
shanties. They rock maritime songs alongside the more unusual and less traditional folk tunes. Whether performing hundred year old songs, or their own original creations, the Johns bring a new feel to audiences wherever they go....more

Best sea shanty album of all time bar none. I remember when I first heard it; became my favorite album of all time. I was astounded cause... I liked every song! Martin Flaherty
