I was on a lockdown
Doing what I’m told
She was in a tracksuit
Story must be told
I was getting fucked up
Drinking with the boys
She was in the bedroom
Playing with the toys

Bobbie’s got a false hand
Loves a KFC
Down in the high rise
Late night remedy
I was on a lock down
Doing what I’m told
She was in a tracksuit
Story must be told

I was on a lockdown
Breaking all the rules
I worship at the alter
Of all the silly fools
I was getting fucked up
Drinking with the boys
She was in the bedroom
Playing with the toys

And I know and I know and I know and I know
And I feel and I feel and I feel and feel
I got nothing to lose
I can make you forget who you are
I’m a mess I’m a jerk
I will drive you berserk
I will make you believe
That you’re not really here
But I just can’t be the man that you think I am

Neighbours on the lambs bread
Fifa ’94
The view from the carpet
I’d never seen before
She was getting fucked up
(Playing with the plastic)
Drinking with the boys
(Turning on the romance)
I was in the bedroom
(Lying on the carpet)
Playing with the toys

I was on a lockdown
Doing what I’m told
She was in a tracksuit
Story must be told

Album: THE S.L.P.

Lockdown is the second track on Sergio Pizzorno’s debut solo album, THE S.L.P., released on 30 August 2019.

Serge described the song as being assembled from fragments of nights out, conversations and situations he had experienced. Musically and visually, Serge imagined the track as a futuristic combination of Sin City and the music of Jacques Brel and Serge Gainsbourg.

“It’s fragments of nights I’ve been out on, things that people say.” – Sergio Pizzorno, 2019
