Phil Sayer
Phil Sayer
Is in the grave,
But how many lives
Did his wise words save? (Mike)
Not that many
Silly chap
Most people know
To mind the gap (Kate)
Well, they do now,
But that's 'cos of him.
If he hadn't said it
Things could be grim. (Mike)
Don't be daft
We all have brains
We don't need Phil Sayer
To save us from trains. (Kate)
This is London
Where they're thick as shit
Some fall on the tracks
Where they're hit. (Mike)
In the north
Trains don't hit us
I guess it's survival
Of the fittest (Kate)
He tells me I
should mind the gap
But in fact it's all
a pile of crap (Ian)
Don't you start too.
Do not disparage
The man that cared
When we left the carriage. (Mike)
Many a slip
Twixt cup and lip
More again
Twixt foot and train (Ian)
Well done, that man
On your pronouncement.
Let's hear it for public
service announcements. (Mike)
Listen to crashing bores
Who scarcely anyone adores
They cry out for their daily chores
"Stand clear of the closing doors!" (Ian)
Gaps these days are rather small
So as long as you are fat and tall
You probably won't fall through
But if you're small and thin you might do (Kate)
