Sangtekst: Hugh Cornwell. Big Bug.

Black, black track
Black track steel gray train
Along the big vein across the big leaf
Cold, cold steel larva

Its edges warm edges
Its way across the big leaf
Air, aircraft engines menace
The black track steel train

Says hello to many brothers
Digging holes to save the others
On the big red leaf big bug
On the big red leaf big bug
Big bug

Black leather badge shouldered
Hoot tooting duty boys
In the right place at the right time
Saved the nibbler stayed in the line

Its bristles with arms
And legs didn't sleep at night
Derailed all failed
Derailed all failed

And rattled the bug on its vein
And rattled the bug on its vein

Around the world five times
Around the world five times
Around the world five times
Around the world five times
Around the world five times

A victim of crimes
A victim of crimes
A victim of crimes
A victim of crimes

And the white cabbages all took a dive
And the big red leaf was still alive
And after two years the big bug curled
And rested after eating its world

And out popped
And out popped
And out popped
And out popped

And out popped
And out popped
And out popped
A fly
