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
