Guest Informant Lyrics - Singles - Fall

Baghdad/Space Cog/Analyst * 

You'll never guess who called 

It was Craig Steele. 

It's stool pigeons, da da da da 

Guest informant, guest informant 

Guest informant, guest informant 

I called the colonel to the cheap hotel, 

I attacked the bed 

I wired the phones as well, 

Colonel Boggs McRoley [waltzes Michelle.] 

And I count it all, I have not counted on 

Guest Informant, guest informant 

I've been split on, I've been tattled on, 

I had not counted on Guest Informant 

And the morning Scotch, of another Sunday over 

A miserable Scottish hotel, 

Resembled a Genesis or Marillion, 1973 LP cover 

All the hotel staff had been dismissed, 

It was me, the Hoover, 

And the O. A. P. asked Could he turn killer 

Caught, could I kill him? 

Bonded? 

Or is he itinerant? 

But I guess he's just a pug analyst 

Guest informant, guest informant 

Baghdad/Space Cog/Analyst. 

I could not comprehend, I could not understand 

Who had not counted on, I had not counted all 

Guest informant, guest informant 

I've been split by a first-rate moron 

And I have been counted on, I'm not counted on 

Guest informant, guest informant 

Guest informant, guest informant 

I've been let down, by a first-rate moron 

And I could not comprehend who I'd counted on 

Guest informant, guest informant 

[ This line, a topic of much contention, is as according to Sean 

Russell, who wrote on 14 Feb., 1996: "I wrote to Cog Sinister with a 

pile of 

questions, one of them being what the hell Brix was saying [in "Guest 

Informant"]. Lucy [Rimmer] wrote back and said she asked Brix, who said 

the phrase was "Baghdad/Space Cog/Analyst".
