Lyrics

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 "Can't go far", "He can't go far" "Hasn't got a leg to stand on" "He can't go far" Man-on-the-spot: I'm standing in a doorway on the main square Tension is mounting There's a restless crowd of angry people Man-on-the-council: "More than we've ever seen Had to tighten up security" Over to the scene at the town hall The Lord Mayor's ready to speak LORD MAYOR: "Man of suspicion, you can't last long The British Public is on our side" BRITISH PUBLIC: "Can't last long" "You can't last long" "Said you couldn't trust him His brother was just the same" "You can't last long" If I was many miles from here I'd be sailing in an open boat on the sea Instead I'm on this window ledge With the whole world below Up at the window Look at the window... Mr. Plod: "We can help you" Plod's Chorus: "We can help you" Mr. Plod: "We're 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 He'd be very, very, very upset " "Just can't jump, you just can't jump" "Your shirt's all dirty, there's a man from the BBC." "You just can't jump" Mr. Plod: "We can help you" Plod's Chorus: "We can help you" Mr. Plod: "We're all your friends, If you come on down and talk to us Harry" HAROLD: You must be joking Take a running jump...
