A well-known Bognor re staura nt-owner dis appeared
Early this m orning.
L ast se en in a mou se-bro wn overcoat
Suitably camouflaged
They saw him ca tch a tr ain.
Fat her of three its di sgusting
Such a h orrible thing to do
Ha rold 'the Barrel' c ut off his toes and he served them all for t ea
Can't go f ar
he can't go far.
Hasn't got a l eg to stand on
He can't go f ar.
I'm st anding in a doo rway o n the ma in square
Tension is m ountin g
There's a re stless crowd of ang ry peo ple
M ore than we've ever seen.
- had to tight en up se curit y
Over to the scene at the to wn hall
The l ord mayors ready to s peak
M an of su spicion you can't last long
The British public is on our sid e
Can't last lo ng
you can't last l ong.
Said you couldn't tr ust him his brother was just the s ame
You can't last lo ng
If I was many mi les from here
Id b e sailing in an open bo at on the sea
Instead I 'm on this window l edge
With the whole world belo w
U p at the wi ndow
L ook at the window...
W e can help you
W e can help you
W ere all your fr iends if you co me on dow n
And ta lk to us son
You must b e jokin g
Take a running j ump
The cr owd was getting str onger and our H arold
Getting w eaker;
Fo rwards backwards swaying side to side
F earing the very wo rst
The y called his mot her to the si te
U p on the ledge be side him
H is mother made a l ast request.
C ome off th e ledge if y our father were alive
He'd be v eryvery very upset .
Just can't ju mp
You just can't ju mp
Your shirts all di rty
There's man here from the . . .
You just can't j ump
W e can help y ou
W e can help you
W ere all your fr iends if you come on down
And ta lk to us Harry
You must b e jok ing.
Take a running j ump......
