Ten-thirty-five and I hope I've made
The right decision
Heart is beating I'm alive
But I don't call this living
Rationalize 'til I'm blue in the face
You cannot lose if you throw the race
I'm still searching for the
Ants invasion
Ten-thirty-six and I hope I've made
The right decision
Ninety eight point four's the bore
With twenty twenty vision
You want a thrill so you come and see me
A cheap line in fantasy
But I'm still searching for the
Ants invasion
If I'd the courage
I would make my way home
Too many antics in the forbidden zone
Ten-thirty-eight and I think I've made
The wrong decision
Another lifeless man with a strange incision
I hope that insect doesn't see me
He's not renowned for his courtesy
I'm not searching for the
Ants invasion
The right decision
Heart is beating I'm alive
But I don't call this living
Rationalize 'til I'm blue in the face
You cannot lose if you throw the race
I'm still searching for the
Ants invasion
Ten-thirty-six and I hope I've made
The right decision
Ninety eight point four's the bore
With twenty twenty vision
You want a thrill so you come and see me
A cheap line in fantasy
But I'm still searching for the
Ants invasion
If I'd the courage
I would make my way home
Too many antics in the forbidden zone
Ten-thirty-eight and I think I've made
The wrong decision
Another lifeless man with a strange incision
I hope that insect doesn't see me
He's not renowned for his courtesy
I'm not searching for the
Ants invasion

When I first read these lyrics, I thought that “ant” was for “anthelmintic”. The most famous “ant” is the benzylpiperazine (BZP), which is used to obtain a legal alternative to ecstasy better known as “party pills”. The problem is that the recreational use of piperazine begun in the early nineties, and not in 1980. Reading Goddard’s biography I could understand that this song is autobiographical, because in the mid seventies Goddard tried to do a suicide by taking all the pills he could find in his mother-in-law's kitchen cabinet. Probably among those pills there were especially anthelmintic drugs. On the other hand, perhaps the song “ants invasion” was a precognition of the “party pills”.
