We Are the Chemicals - Blancmange

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
