Verse 1
G 
C 
F 
Nay, plus ultra. No Fog Island. No worse.
C 
There is none here on Earth.
G 
The only thing you can be
C 
sure of.
F 
G 
You'll be flabbed at No Fog Island
C 
for all their worth.
G 
You might get three hundred
C 
F 
lashes at Northrop,
C 
they know how to flaw.
G 
C 
Then they'll cut you dead and salt you
F 
Or they surely wouldn't do
G 
F 
C 
that to a mad dog
G 
For the triangles are ready, waiting
C 
And the scourge is there, salivating
Ready to strip the flesh
G 
from off your frames
C 
And every Norfolk lag
F 
Knows the crank mill and the gag
G 
Or you're only a statistic,
F 
G 
C 
a pawn in England's games
G 
C 
You might well hurt North Oak Island
F 
C 
Be appointed killer of your mate
G 
C 
So you can be Santa Sidney,
F 
G 
swinging from the head that rope is
C 
Much the better fate when
G 
C 
you get to La Boca Land,
F 
you might worry that you won't survive,
C 
G 
C 
but when price has finished flogging,
F 
G 
you will only feel despondent
F 
C 
that you are still alive.
G 
For the Triangles are ready,
C 
waiting and the Scourge is there, salivating,
ready to strip the flesh
G 
from off your frames.
C 
And every Norfolk lag
F 
knows the crank mill and the gag,
G 
for you're only a statistic,
F 
G 
a pawn in England's games.
C 
G 
Dante wrote of Hell's Inferno
C 
F 
C 
But his view of torment was remiss
G 
C 
For there's never been a cistern
F 
G 
No, there's never been a cistern
F 
C 
As barbarous as this
G 
cursed fungal
C 
F 
And flogger -fines Morrison and
C 
Anderson as well
G 
Curse their masters
C 
Back in England
F 
G 
For they surely all deserve to
F 
C 
Burn in bloody hell
G 
For the triangles are ready
C 
Waiting in the surges there
Salivating, ready to strip the flesh
G 
from off your frames
C 
And every norfolk lad
F 
Knows the crank mill lad and the gag
G 
For you're only a statistic
F 
G 
C 
A pawn in England's game,
G 
named last of all.
C 
F 
No man can end, no worse.
G 
C 
G 
There is none here on earth.
