Harold the Barrel (2007 Stereo Mix)

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.
Father of three, it's disgusting!
Such a horrible thing to do!
Harold the barrel cut off his toes
and served them all for tea,
he can't go far.
Hasn't got a leg to stand on.
I'm standing in a doorway.
On the main square, tension is mounting
There's a restless crowd of angry people
"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:
"Man of suspicion, you can't last long, the British public is on our side!"
You can't last long.
Said you couldn't trust him, his brother was just the same.
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!
We can help you!
We're all your friends, if you'll come on down and talk to us son.
You must be joking!
Take a running jump.
The crowd was getting stronger and our Harold was getting weaker.
Forwards, backwards, swaying side to side,
fearing the very worst,
they called his mother to the site.
Run, run, run!
Upon the ledge beside him,
his mother made a last request:
Come off the ledge,
if your father was alive,
he'd be very, very, very upset,
you just can't jump.
Your shirt's all dirty,
there's a man here from the BBC.
We can help you.
We're all your friends, if you'll come on down and talk to us, Harry.
You must be joking!
Take a running jump...
