We were getting on great before lockdown

The odd early night and a bottle of wine

But I knew my fate was sealed when

You bought lingerie and champagne on line

 

What used to be fun has become a nightmare

I've seen through these hot oriental sauces

Before long I think I'll go out of my mind

Because you're stretching my resources

 

Stretching, stretching, stretching my resources

I'm human, this frame has its limitations

You're demanding too much and I cant hack it

I'm a small island not a league of nations

 

Butter wouldn't melt in your mouth before

But like a hypnotist dangles his watch

Lockdown's drawn out your true colours

I'm not an individual any more, I'm a notch

 

Stretching, stretching, stretching my resources

I'm human, this frame has its limitations

You're demanding too much and I can't hack it

I'm a small island not a league of nations

 

The sooner you're back at work the better

Multi-vitamins and spinach help but only just

At this rate I'll need three months off to recover

Where's my mask, I'm off to Boots, Viagra is a must

 

Stretching, stretching, stretching my resources

I'm human, this frame has its limitations

You're demanding too much and I can't hack it

I'm a small island, not a league of nations
