ROBIN PARKER SEES THE R FACTOR RISING WITH HIS CAUTIONARY LYRICS

R factor

(Original by Credence Clearwater Revival)

I see the R factor rising,

I see infections growing high;

Too early, too much socialising,

Thinking virus will pass them by.

Don’t go out tonight,

It’s bound to take your life,

C19 is on the rise.

I see the suicidal beaches,

‘gainst all the good advice they fly;

No one can tell which way it reaches,

No one can say who’s gonna die.

Don’t go out tonight,

It’s bound to take your life,

C19 is on the rise.

I see intensive care increasing,

I see more nurses under strain;

I see too many more deceasing,

Loved ones with awful grief and pain.

Don’t go out tonight,

It’s bound to take your life,

C19 is on the rise.
