The Black Plague
Laurie Shaw
Yeah, we had another plague
While you were in the Big Brother house
Rats the size of 80's mobiles
All emptied out the Thames
And chewed the line to the rodeo 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 antibacterial gel
And the sound of the funeral bell
