I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape by The Times Lyrics

Once, long ago
Was a man, who made a TV show
Spent, all his savings
Every penny, so that we would know
But, this poor man
Had few fans, and his boss wouldn't pay him
So, I thought up
A way for him to escape

I helped Patrick McGoohan escape
Now he's hiding from the human race
Yes he is, yes he is
Hooooooooo

We made sure
That the rovers were fast asleep
And number two, was at it to
Making his plans to kidnap Paul McCartney
We took a bus, we took a boat
And finally we took a train
And ran away, to the USA
That's where he's been until this day
I helped Patrick McGoohan escape
He lives nеxt door to the man in a suitcase
Yes hе does, yes he does

Where am I?
In the village
What do you want?
Information
You won't get it!
By hook or by crook, we will
Who's side are you on?
That would be telling
Who are you?
The new number two
Who is number one?
You are number six
I'm not a number, I'm a free man

I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered
Pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered
My life is my own
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I

I helped Patrick McGoohan escape
Now he's hiding from the human race
I helped Patrick McGoohan escape
He lives next door to the man in a suitcase
Take me home
