Harold The Barrel
Written:Banks/Collins/Gabriel/Hackett/Rutherford
News:
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.
Man-in-the-street:
'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 'Can't go far', 'He can't go far'. 'Hasn't got a leg to stand on' 'He can't go far'.
Man-on-the-spot:
I'm standing in a doorway on the main square tension is mounting There's a restless crowd of angry people
Man-on-the-council:
'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
Lord Mayor:
'Man of suspicion, you can't last long, the British Public is on our side'
British Public:
'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'.
Harold:
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, Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com With the whole world below Up at the window Look at the window...
Mr.Plod: 'We can help you'
Plod's Chorus: 'We can help you'
Mr. Plod: 'We're all your friends, if you come on down and talk to us son'
Harold: 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.
67-yr-old Mrs Barrel: 'Come off the ledge if your father were alive he'd be very, very, very upset. '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'
Mr. Plod: 'We can help you'
Plod's Chorus: 'We can help you'
Mr. Plod: 'We're all your friends, if you come on down and talk to us Harry'
Harold: You must be joking. Take a running jump......
