The Fall - GUEST INFORMANT lyrics

rate me

Baghdad/Space Cog/Analyst *

You'll never guess who informed

It was Craig and Steve

The stool pigeons, cha-cha-cha-cha...

Guest informant, guest informant

Guest informant, guest informant

I followed the colonel to the cheap hotel,

I tapped the beds

I wired the phones as well,

Colonel Boggs Maroley was his mantle

Had not counted on

I had not counted on

Guest Informant, guest informant

I've been split on, I've been touted on,

I had not counted on Guest Informant

In the burning scorch of another Sunday over

The 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.s

Asked: Could he turn killer?

Thought: could I kill him?

Pondered: Or is he itinerant?

But I guess he's just a cog analyst

Guest informant, guest informant

Baghdad/Space Cog/Analyst.

I could not comprehend, I could not understand

Had not counted on, I had not counted all

Guest informant, guest informant

I've been split by a first-grade moron

And I had not counted on, I had not counted on

Guest informant, guest informant

Guest informant, guest informant

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

And I could not comprehend

Had not counted on

Guest informant, guest informant
