Harold The Barrel - Genesis, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel

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:

«You 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»

«Just can’t jump, you just can’t jump»

«Your shirt’s all dirty and 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
