I opened up the paper yesterday
Could not find a single article to read
Looked for a copy in a newspaper stand
This old brain doesn't answer
I can't remember what the song was
It was probably one of the
I was too close to the curb though
been running with a Peugeot
Shake my fist like a grumpy old man
they need help from Dr. Chang
Hey! Can I get a hey -ho?
But you can get a card for
No tabloid, me broadsheet boy
Yeah, I'll take one of those
Pointing at the phone cards
Keeping it for later, lady
Plus I need these papers groaning
She fired up a pocket calculator
So it's straight to the park
Where I can read about the world at war
Fell away, but I couldn't
He said, what's my birthday?
Without much to talk about,
Scraped out my eyeballs, wandered away
but you know what I'm saying
Finished with the news in three hours
The kids from their council houses
Kicked me a ball that I kicked back
Knocked a poor fella down
Back on my way, I was moving
see what the lady's doing
For the afternoon edition,
So I'm here just racking my brains
Investigate if they'll trust
Investigate if they'll trust
And I'm needy at heart, need me now
And I'm needy at heart, need me now
This is crazy, I'm just waiting for
my girlfriend to get back,
and I was checking out my horoscopes,
Shit, I even did the crossword,
watching the trains come and go,
Asked the train guard for the time,
he looked blank, said I gotta see your ticket,
The kind of attitude that make you smirk,
but I keep it cool baby and I play superb
Shrug my shoulders, slouched by the curb,
that the newspaper acted a bird
And things change so quick
without a seed of a doubt
Just for now, I decide to wait patiently
Read out a two -ton sign,
Halfway through a mental note to myself
You arrive, I've been waiting
slide both arms around you
It gets no better, no headlines
Investigate, deflate, you trust
No airbrush, and I'm eating out
Investigate the flaws you trust
It's time to meet him right now!
