Keep Yourself Alive?

God, how I hate that song. Not because it’s the Liverpool anthem, I just think it’s a crap song. It should have been left to wallow in Carousel.

Would have thought 'don't stand so close to me' by The Police was in with a chance of winning

So the Kop earns first spot on the chart the year the team was supposed to earn it on the standing in May!

Can I give a shout out to a Tom Lehrer classic 'I got it from Agnes' (Google it) a classic about contagious diseases

People are so sickeningly predictable...

How about the BBC playing ‘Survive’ the fab new anthem by Sue Cressman with lyrics that mean do much in relation to the Coronavirus crisis - even BorisJohnson has a copy ! Try it on

Alone - Pretenders

Everything by thelumineers is the way to go! classygirls cleopatra etc etc! 💙

And the drugs don't work

Dear god, have mercy.

BBC, fake news. How many people died of flu related illness last year. You are causing fear :(

I picked Queen list in VEVO it started ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST.AND ANOTHER ONE DONE AND ANOTHER ONE GONE, ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST.

How depressing.... 😢

Should be Iron Maiden's Virus.

As if the Coronavirus isn’t bad enough! 🤦‍♂️

Truthful

Two more to add Panic / The Smiths and I am the virus /Killing joke

I walked alone today. It's not without its merits.

Not in my house it isn't.

Heal the world Make it a better place For you and for me And the entire human race There are people dying If you care enough for the living Make it a better place For you and for me

Er, terrible news.

That anthem is gonna annoy alot of people! 😂 YNWA

That should help with the league being null and void.

liverpool fans getting ready for their trophy celebration

this is also a theme for a song: YOU pay for the virus. Book released today.

...but they aren't going to win the league are they 🤣🤣

Probably find that’s exactly what ya should be doing..

Kinda self-defeating isn't it?

I thought walking alone would be the perfect solution!
