SECOND – EVIL

I

The wind blows high in the eastern skies
You, your public life dominating a human code
Happens in other peoples’ humdrum ordinary lives
Follows such style meeting folk on the road

He’s himself extrovert, a full personality plan
Varied acceptable unique who can mix socially
Visits in fast blue, white, black car and caravan
Meet the world, control mass appeal very well thankfully

Public reaction to his Tarzan-like original warble sound
Subtle choice of personal records adorns his shows
Describe his subjects’ emotions well as he travels around
His Key to the peoples’ door, pocket as hearts bump and flow

Unworried by misguided reputation, head firmly to on the ground
General a man in control of yourself: always on the go

II

Personal side is acute interesting, a lesson
Rude to pry as they did with poor little Marilyn
Sorry the duchess died, well you overcame depression
It seems celebrity with a personal life can’t win

Your accent fashionable vulgarity and well you know
Cultured if you wish with ease of speech
Albino-like in appearance there’s only one on show
After all the point, what goal left to reach

They say you’re liberal and a capitalist
An OBE as you call yourself
Service rendered in hospitals, to the public an only twist
When this fabulous celebrity shows contradictory wealth

A favoured event, annual unselfish cabmen’s’ outings
For the under-privileged children, fake silences your evil shouting

JS Harrogate September 1973
