Harold The Barrel Lyrics - Nursery Cryme - Genesis

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 

"He 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, 

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 site 

Up on 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." 

"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" 

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...
