Melanie Hargreaves' Father's Jaguar

Let's take the elevator up through the roof

And we'll step out of time while I spin you this rhyme

And it's nothing but the Gospel truth.

It wasn't a real one. Lord, that would be mad

If you lived in a place like Formby, Lancashire

Like Melanie Hargreaves dad.

It was a lovely shade of lilac. It was father's pride and joy.

She was the first girl that he ever kissed.

He was a lucky, lucky boy.

It was a proper car of destiny and that destiny came down

Upon Melanie Hargreaves father's Jaguar.

Show me the hedge and tell me it's bedtime,

Coz I just can't face all the facts of this case,

They're all too painful to relay.

Kids from the city took the Jaguar away,

Drove it down to the beach and torched it.

It might still be there today.

It was a lovely shade of lilac, now it's mostly burnt-out black

And however much you want it to, it ain't never coming back.

And one day Im going to sell up everything that I own and I'll run away with you

And it won't be nobody's business where we are.

No, no.

Just like Melanie Hargreaves father's Jaguar.
