lyrics

Yeah, we had another plague
While your were in the Big Brother house
Rats the size of 80s mobiles
All emptied out the Thames
And chewed the line to the rodent killers
And up our commemorative pillars that we
Erected after the exit
And after the war
The sky opened, like a slit drain
And flooded the ports
And we all went carnivore on each other

Deep clear, human light
There were times...

Yeah we had another plague
While you were in the jungle
It's great you've got your big break
Sorry it's at such a bad time
In eight months you'll be back to distributing the plague masks
I'm sick of the smell of the anti-bacterial gel
And the sound of the funeral bell

Yeah, we had another plague
While you were in the big brother house
And it burnt the capital to the ground
And thick plumes of smoke arose up and hit the clouds
I hope you got my musical birthday card
Sincerely L James
