07 Nutter Alert

It might come in a letter
Darkness falls in a telephone call
I await the unexpected
With one ear to the party wall

Is it the pricking of the conscience?
Is it the itching of hair shirt?
Is it the dictionary definition
Of a precipice of scud?
It's the nutter alert

Oh, this face is familiar
Something in it has bred contempt
I never asked for your opinion
Or your backhanded compliments

Oh, but here comes that special nonsense
All the words out in a spurt
The unhinging of the trolley
As the mouth begins to blurt
It's the nutter alert
It's the nutter alert
It's the nutter alert
Oh, look out!

I can see we're in trouble
From that glint in the eye you've got
There's no sense to the story
Comprehensively lost the plot

And how contorted is that logic
You so forcefully exert?
You're a car crash in the making
Head-on, that's a race insert
It's the nutter alert
It's the nutter alert
It's the nutter alert
This is the nutter alert
