Harold The Barrel Lyrics

News:

A well-known bognor restaurant-owner disappeared
Early this morning.
Last seen in a mouse-brown overcoat,
Suitably camouflaged,
They saw him catch a train.

Man-in-the-street:

Father of three its disgusting
Such a horrible thing to do
Harold the barrel cut off his toes and he served them all
For tea
Cant go far, he cant go far.
Hasnt got a leg to stand on
He cant go far.

Man-on-the-spot:

Im standing in a doorway on the main square
Tension is mounting
Theres a restless crowd of angry people

Man-on-the-council:

More than weve ever seen.
- had to tighten up security

Over to the scene at the town hall
The lord mayors ready to speak

Lord mayor:

Man of suspicion, you cant last long, the british public
Is on our side

British public:

Cant last long, you cant last long.
Said you couldnt trust him, his brother was just the same
You cant last long.

Harold:

If I was many miles from here,
Id be sailing in an open boat on the sea
Instead Im on this window ledge,Genesis - Harold The Barrel - http://motolyrics.com/genesis/harold-the-barrel-lyrics.html
With the whole world below
Up at the window
Look at the window...

Mr.plod:
We can help you

Plods chorus:
We can help you

Mr. plod:
Were all your friends, if you come on down
And talk to us son

Harold:
You must be joking
Take a running jump

The crowd was getting stronger and our harold
Getting weaker;
Forwards, backwards, swaying side to side
Fearing the very worst
They called his mother to the sight
Upon the ledge beside him
His mother made a last request.

67-yr-old mrs barrel:
Come off the ledge if your father were alive hed be very,
Very, very upset.
Just cant jump, you just cant jump
Your shirts all dirty, theres a man here from
The b.b.c.
You just cant jump

Mr. plod:
We can help you

Plods chorus:
We can help you

Mr. plod:
Were all your friends, if you come on down
And talk to us harry

Harold:
You must be joking.
Take a running jump......
