We Are The Chemicals

(альбом: Unfurnished Rooms - 2017)

There's been a chemical spillage
On a trading estate in altrincham
The area in question has been sealed off
There are no reports
Of loss of life
At this present time

We are the chemicals

In a garden shed 80 miles due south
As the crow does fly
The identical scenario has taken place
On a much smaller scale

We are the chemicals
We are the chemicals
We are the chemicals
At this present time

Now walking back
Across the Irish sea
Would it surprise you to know
That in the boot of a hire car
On a rain swept street
Chemicals are at this moment
Seeping through the tiny perforations
In a waitrose plastic bag
The liquid will lay for a while
On the surface of the man made fabric carpet
That lines the said boot's floor

Before gravity wins
And pulls it down
And the occupant
Locks the door

In this present time
At this present time
We are the chemicals
We are the chemicals
