Half Man Half Biscuit - Rod Hull Is Alive - Why? lyrics

A doyen of topiary once told me That one day he would like to grow a maze It seemed to be quite logical That this should be his wish And with that, we both went our separate ways They said you died at seven Due to something in your head I asked the Sister why It wasn't someone else instead Tonight I'll cry myself a bath of tears and ask the world, "Why is Rod Hull alive – and getting paid as well?" Heard a Palace Spokesman mention Sarah Said she'd known the groins of Jacques Laffite She's well prepared to be a standard bearer As pure as unproverbial driven sleet Halfway up the Wrekin with an empty flask of tea A fog descends and takes away my visibility Yet in this Helen Keller state I'd still quite like to know "Why is Rod Hull alive – and getting paid as well?" And I wonder if they'll bring back National Service and the birch And I wonder but I doubt if they will ever bring back the Watney Cup
