Sandy Denny - Breakfast In Mayfair

Compositor: Simon Nicol

Letra en inglés:
The world has surely lost its head, the news is full of crimes.
There's robberies in the Telegraph and there's murders in the Times.
And alwaye more obituaries - and even one of these
Concerns the brutal slaughter of an old Miss Emma Keyes.

The police have got their man, they're sure he never left the scene
Indeed he raised the hue and cry - a most unusual thing.
An arsonist, a murderer, his soul will soon be frying,
He's young, but old enough to kill and not too young for dying.

Now it seems the populace will queue to see him stand in court,
To hear him speak his wicked lies while smiling at his thoughts.
This arrogant young ruffian is obviously guilty
Though nowhere does it say exactly how or why he killed her.

Forget it dear, it's not the first, and there's bound to be another.
The way you carry on you'll have us thinking she's your mother.
The man called Lee has had his day and soon he'll be forgotten,
So put your paper down before your breakfast goes quite rotten.
