about

Howard Springs sounds like a cross between Mumford and Sons and The Corrs - if they were quarantining together at Australia's ‘gold standard’ holiday destination, Howard Springs.

lyrics

H4 2B
It's not a pencil
It's the little cell we're in
We're in quarantine
In Howard Springs, NT

Days end with crimson sunsets
Birds call all around
Police up here are so polite
They practically apologise
As they disperse the crowd

In Howard Springs,
Howard Springs NT
We'll play music every night
It's relatively free
But you gotta keep on walking round
Don't stop, or the cops will shut us down again
It's a covid thing, you'll see
In Howard Springs, NT

700 neighbours
Jog up the stony path, some do stretches on the deck
They're nice as nice can be
In Howard Springs, NT

Children draw in chalk on concrete
Flowers and hopscotch
Crossed out numbers counting down the days
Someone's built a wall of juice boxes
They come with every meal
Of soggy veggies mashed in foil trays
