Lyrics: Fall. Guest Informant.

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 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 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 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/Analyst".
