From over the ocean came plague Via the ocean, plague came Plague came and we're not the same All around is pure tension Beliefs and tears now and again From where has this great sadness came From sou'west flew plague From what has plague came? I laughed at chicks with frustration Fear of plague has sent us home For love at least of our dear mum Father takes it in his stride Says, "back in the closet, son" Was it ocean brought the plague? Over the ocean came plague Plague came, nothing is the same All there is, is death and pain Hearts now broken on [ ] Love dissolved as they do [ ] Love dissolved by Haitian sun Did South Atlantic bring plague? What evil ocean brought plague? Plague flew up from an ocean From Satan's tree and his baboon A body's waste 'neath a gibbous moon Rancid kid drowned in lagoon From still blue ocean came plague From Caribbean plague came Plague came in that Satan made And our friends became deranged Secret glam rock, gleeful hat We stock Far Corporation Glam rock family leisure zone It was an evil plague They sparked up and then built the boat Put wind in its grim sail Bringing plague and our peril Bringing plague and our peril Bringing plague and our peril Bringing plague and our peril
