The Fall Lyrics
Guest Informant Lyrics
Guest Informant by The Fall
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 Michelle.]
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 an*lyst
Guest informant, guest informant
Baghdad/Space Cog/an*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 hell Brix was saying [in "Guest
Informant"]. Lucy [Rimmer] wrote back and said she asked Brix, who said
the phrase was "Baghdad/Space Cog/an*lyst".
