The Death Of Barry The Roofer With Vertigo

(album: Our Last Album? - 2004)

The night was young and Barry begun downing a pint in the pub
The plan was he would have a curry then soak up the suds in the tub
He took a sup as he stood up he fell to the floor with a yell
He hit the deck, but what the eck, baz says, "I'm feeling swell"

He buys the scran, back in the van, he headed home to relax
Before he sees the door Barry is plagued with panic attacks
The answer phone had one message that pushed Barry over the edge
"Is that Barry the roofer man? Come to me as quick as you can"
Barry the roofer, Barry the roofer, Barry the roofer man

Long ago with vertigo-o-o
He had a fatal accident
The balance of Barry's had went
And nothing could prevent him falling off
The bu-bu, bu-bu, bungalow

He misses his meal, back at the wheel, with his ladders and his map
A dude in despair with a roof to repair, is betting Barry's the chap
Barry assessed the damage and guessed to leave it alone is probably best
The customer cried "fix it man", that night Barry died when he got out the van
Barry the roofer, Barry the roofer, Barry the roofer man

Long ago with vertigo-o-o
He had a fatal accident
The balance of Barry's had went

Barry the roofer, Barry the roofer
Barry the, Barry the, Barry the, Barry the
Barry the roofer, Barry the roofer
Barry the, Barry the, Barry the, Barry the (Barry the roofer, the roofer, Barry the)

Long ago with vertigo-o-o
He had a fatal accident
The balance of Barry's had went
And nothing could prevent him falling off

With vertigo-o-o
He had a fatal accident
The balance of Barry's had went

Barry the roofer, Barry the roofer
Barry the, Barry the, Barry the, Barry the
Barry the roofer, Barry the roofer
Barry the, Barry the, Barry the, Barry the (Barry the roofer, the roofer, Barry the)
...

The balance of Barry's had went
