Lyrics - Guest Informant by Fall

Baghdad/
Space
Cog/
Analyst *
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
Mc
Roley [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 analyst
Guest informant, guest informant
Baghdad/
Space
Cog/
Analyst.
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 apile ofquestions, one of them being what the hell
Brix was saying [in "
Guest
Informant"].
Lucy [
Rimmer] wrote back and said she asked
Brix, who saidthe phrase was "
Baghdad/
Space
Cog/
Analyst".
