The guy in the bowler hat 1973 (for my brother Steve)

The street corner shivers with darkness,
The people that died were too fat.
Their minds were possessed by the fear,
Of the guy in the bowler hat.
The scar on his face was too ugly,
The people who died were too thin.
Their minds were possessed by the fear,
Of the guy with the coloured skin.
He lives in a world full of magic,
The people who died were not sure.
Their minds were possessed by the fear,
Of the guy who lives with the whore.
In fact the whole damn world was uncertain,
The people who died were not planned.
Their minds were possessed by the fear,
Of the guy with the case in his hand.
The bible said Jesus would return to the Earth,
The people who died believed that.
Their minds were possessed by the fear,
Of the guy in the bowler hat.
