And Then The Insects Came
A psychedelic beat combo from when we were very young
Lyrics
We were doing fine
We were doing OK
Until that day
The insects came
Very many legged
With inhuman powers
Invading the world
That was once ours
A bee drank all my nectar
A termite ate my wood
An earwig infested my artichoke
And a mosquito sucked my blood
So I spoke to the holy gardener
Said Father, let us spray
He said you have the right to live in peace, my son
And so do they
So we welcomed them in
To weave their creepy crawly spells
Offered them accommodation
In bug hotels
So a locust came to tea
And he ate exceedingly well
Ants marched off with my picnic
And the cups and plates as well
Some beetles struck up a rocking tune
On miniature guitars
And the cockroach mariachi band
Joined in the last 8 bars
A moth flickered my candle
A butterfly stole my love
An aphid sapped my rose
Until a ladybird came and ate him up
A wasp stung my hand
A fly buzzed round my shit
A dragonfly hovered on my stream
And a cricket hit me for six
Oh we were doing fine
We were doing OK
Until these partic'ly tickly
Little invaders came
