Once there were the puzzles
In the back of the papers
Working out a puzzle
On the back of a bus
Working out a puzzle
On a double decker bus
We like to solve a puzzle
We like it, we like it
They were the puzzle makers
They were the puzzle creators
People like a puzzle
So they put them on the walls
Put them on the floors
And the gallery halls
People like the crosswords
On the gallery walls
They like to play Sudoku
On the gallery floors
We like it, we like it
They are the puzzle makers
They are the puzzle creators
Where are all the cockneys?
Where are the Arthur Daley's?
They sold them down the Thames
To the Home Counties
They sold him down the river
To the Home Counties
Arthur Daley's
On a wall
Prime position
On a gallery wall
Laughing in a
Golden frame
Minder is building an
Installation
Arthur is reading out
Instructions
"You want to be a success
You want to go far
Get to the yard and learn
To sell a second hand car!"
We are the puzzle makers
We are the puzzle creators
Art imitates life
Life imitates art
The world is a puzzle
Though you couldn't
Have scripted it
You couldn't
Have predicted it
Puzzled
In the newsrooms
Puzzles on the
Rostrums
As the news
Reader's stumble
The autocue
Is anagram
Tectonic plates
Are shifting
They're not quite
Fitting
This jigsaw's sinking
And the weatherman's
Misplaced his map
Whilst the machine
From Countdown
Is churning out
Numbers
All the wrong
Numbers
They just don't
Add up
We are the puzzle makers
