Harold The Barrel - Digital Remastered 2008

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 its disgusting
Such a horrible thing to do
Harold the Barrel cut off his toes and he served them all for tea

He can't go far
He can't go far (Hasn't got a leg to stand on)
He can't go far

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
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

We can help you
We can help you
We're all your friends, if you come on down and talk to us son
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
Come off the ledge if your father
Were alive he'd be very very, very upset

You just can't jump
You just can't jump (Your shirt's all dirty, there's a man here from the B.B.C.)
You just can't jump

We can help you
We can help you
We're all your friends, if you come on down and talk to us Harry
You must be joking
Take a running jump
