Part Vi (breakfast In Mayfair) Lyrics - Singles - Fairport Convention

"The world has surely lost it's head, the news is full of crimes 

There's robberies in The Telegraph and there's murders in The Times 

And always more obituaries and even one of these 

Concerns the brutal slaughter of one old Miss Emma Keyes 

The police have got their man, they're sure, he never left the scene 

Indeed, he raised a hue and cry, a most unusual thing 

An arsonist, a murderer, his soul will soon be frying 

He's young but old enough to kill and not too young for dying 

Now it seems the populace will queue to see him stand in court 

To hear him speak his wicked lies while smiling at his thoughts 

This arrogant young ruffian is obviously guilty 

Though nowhere does it say exactly how or why he killed her" 

"Forget it dear, it's not the first, there's bound to be another 

The way you carry on you'll have us thinking she's your mother 

This man called Lee has had his day and soon he'll be forgotten 

So put that paper down before your breakfast goes quite rotten"
