In The Papers Today - The Hotknives[00:00:00]
Written by:R. Allen[00:00:01]
Well the two forty eight[00:00:13]
Was a minute too late[00:00:15]
And the planning permission[00:00:16]
Refused on the gate[00:00:18]
Or the crisis with whatever food this week[00:00:19]
Someone else won a million[00:00:24]
And blew it on shares[00:00:26]
And the adverts stair lifts[00:00:27]
Glide up the stairs[00:00:29]
And the bingo card inside is yours to keep[00:00:30]
For the little old lady it was love at first sight[00:00:36]
From the renegade butler who wore makeup at night[00:00:39]
To the boy in the car who was speeding by far[00:00:41]
It's just what they say[00:00:45]
In the papers today[00:00:48]
Giant bees by the thousand are making a swarm[00:00:55]
And it's nobody's fault just the winter was warm[00:00:58]
And it's someone famous' secret out to see[00:01:01]
There's a three hour delay[00:01:06]
On the M twenty five[00:01:08]
And a swimmer who's ninety who's barely alive[00:01:09]
And a vicar who says mass on ecstasy[00:01:12]
For the little old lady it was love at first sight[00:01:17]
From the renegade butler who wore makeup at night[00:01:20]
To the boy in the car who was speeding by far[00:01:23]
It's just what they say[00:01:26]
In the papers today[00:01:29]
Glossy magazines with happy homes and healthy beans[00:01:31]
People's lives all stripped down to the core[00:01:37]
Scandals politicians and the faces on our screens[00:01:42]
Designer suits and other suits of law[00:01:48]
They saw elvis again on the ten o'clock news[00:02:09]
Though the desk would have covered his new blue suede shoes[00:02:12]
Lord lucan owns a pub just down the road[00:02:15]
There's a girl on page seven who's covered in tears[00:02:20]
Says goodbye to her man for another eight years[00:02:23]
And a boy of three just cracked a complex code[00:02:26]
For the little old lady it was love at first sight[00:02:31]
From the renegade butler who wore makeup at night[00:02:34]
To the boy in the car who was speeding by far[00:02:36]
It's just what they say[00:02:40]
In the papers today[00:02:42]
