Looking For Harry Palmer
Revolver in his pocket
Cup of coffee in his hand
He picks up conversations
That he doesn't understand
He makes some notes and looks at them
And sighs and looks again
There's nothing there but how's your mum
They say it looks like rain
He stays behind the curtain
Watching people come and go
His finger's on the shutter
But his target doesn't show
He passes on inarticulate notes
And knocks off for the day
Buys an Evening Standard
And goes home on the train
Welcome to the world of espionage
Intelligence and MI5
Looking for Harry Palmer
Waiting for a spy
Welcome to the game of invisible ink
Assumed names and secret codes
Looking for Harry Palmer
Everywhere we go
Looking out for queen and country
No-one will ever know
Killing enemies with finesse
And the minimum of show
He says he's just a civil servant
And his pension is his aim
With a liking for the unexpected
And no two days the same
Welcome to the world of espionage
Intelligence and MI5
Looking for Harry Palmer
Waiting for a spy
Welcome to the game of invisible ink
Assumed names and secret codes
Looking for Harry Palmer
Everywhere we go
Cup of coffee in his hand
He picks up conversations
That he doesn't understand
He makes some notes and looks at them
And sighs and looks again
There's nothing there but how's your mum
They say it looks like rain
He stays behind the curtain
Watching people come and go
His finger's on the shutter
But his target doesn't show
He passes on inarticulate notes
And knocks off for the day
Buys an Evening Standard
And goes home on the train
Welcome to the world of espionage
Intelligence and MI5
Looking for Harry Palmer
Waiting for a spy
Welcome to the game of invisible ink
Assumed names and secret codes
Looking for Harry Palmer
Everywhere we go
Looking out for queen and country
No-one will ever know
Killing enemies with finesse
And the minimum of show
He says he's just a civil servant
And his pension is his aim
With a liking for the unexpected
And no two days the same
Welcome to the world of espionage
Intelligence and MI5
Looking for Harry Palmer
Waiting for a spy
Welcome to the game of invisible ink
Assumed names and secret codes
Looking for Harry Palmer
Everywhere we go
