Barefoot on the Zebra, and also out of stride.
What terrible news are you trying to hide?
A cigarette in the wrong hand, another clue?
William Campbell, the orphan, is it really you?

A car reg plate on the Beetle, purposely there?
What's this awful news that you cannot share?
Why the clothes, denim, a gravediggers choice.
We deserve to know, do we still hear his voice?

Did the lights change, is that the tragic news?
So in steps William Campbell, why still the clues?
'Cranberry Sauce' it doesn't sound like that to me.
An imposter you've trained for the World to see.

A black rose amongst the 3 red, is he still alive?
Billy Shears a replacement direct from MI 5.
A conspiracy theory, fuelled by many inside jokes.
An out of hand rumour, a massive Welles size hoax!
