Good Year For The Papers Lyrics

A Balladeer Good Year For The Papers

our fireworks at New Year were the bomb
the fun was short in a bar miles further on
the drama it was all over the news

I was up watching from the couch all night
with no one there to release my tunnel sight
where were you when all hell broke loose

just a few disasters later
it doesn't take that much to see
it's been a good year for the papers
and a bad one for me

Bush says it is now an eye for an eye
our Queen Bea thinks that soon we'll all turn blind
me I'm just scared that we ain't seen nothing yet

just a few disasters later
it doesn't take that much to see
it's been a good year for the papers
and a bad one for me

where were you when all hell broke los
