fall - guest informant lyrics
baghdad/sp-ce cog/-n-lyst –
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 mich-lle.]
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 -n-lyst
guest informant, guest informant
baghdad/sp-ce cog/-n-lyst.
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 h-ll brix was saying [in “guest
informant”]. lucy [rimmer] wrote back and said she asked brix, who said
the phrase was “baghdad/sp-ce cog/-n-lyst”.
