Down, down (English version)

Text: Daniela Festi | TTTO: Down Town (Petula Clark) | 2019

English Version of "Down down", which I translated to bring it to "Conflikt 2020", a Filk con in Seattle, where I was a proud Interfilk guest.

Down, Down
TTTO: Down Town (Petula Clark)
Text: Daniela Festi (Sagensang)

When you're alone and you just want to go online
Your connection is - down, down
You're in a hurry, all you need is this email
But the server is - down, down
There's nothing you can do about it, this is Murphys Law
When ever you just need it most, there always is a flaw
In someone's code

Computers are only there
to solve the problems we never
would have without them. They go

Down, down, you get a 500 (five-o-o)
Down, down, what are you waiting for?
Down, down, sorry, the server is down.
Down, down. Down, down.

I know, it's cold. But I can't turn on the heating,
Cause my  smart home is down, down.
Want to go shopping, but they can't take my money,
Cause their check-out went down, down.
We are all just servants of defective electronics
Bread and circus if it works, if not: Don't panic!
Plug and pray.
I don't like the modern planes
Cause if the software is crashing,
We all do the same, we go

Down, down, please have a pleasant flight
Down, down, sure it will be alright,
Down, down, somehow or other you're down.
Down, down. Down, down.
Down!
