Part vi (breakfast in mayfair) lyrics

Song : Part vi (breakfast in mayfair)
 
"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"
