What The Papers Say Lyrics - Singles - Nik Kershaw

i read it in the papers 

it must be true 

it said "girl gives birth to alien boy" 

but do we see a photo of this bundle of joy --- no, no 

i saw another headline 

it knocked me flat 

it said "dinosaur found alive today" 

it's easy when you're talking the rhetorical way 

it's what the papers say 

you know it's right 

it's down there written in black and white --- for you 

it's what the papers say 

you know it's true 

they're responsible citizens and wold they lie to you? 

i saw it on the front page 

whatever next? 

it read "N.A.S.A plans sex in outer space" 

no doubt to procreate the human race 

they put it in the late news 

well, now hear this,it went "man with two heads learns to fly" 

well, JESUS, but it must have been one hell of a guy 

it's what the papers say 

you know it's right 

it's down there written in black and white --- for you 

it's what the papers say 

you know it's true 

they're the pillars of society and would they lie to you? 

i saw it on the newsstand 

it shouted at me 

it said "we are all good and they are all bad" 

well drive me to the clinic 'cos it's driving me mad 

it's what the papers say 

you know it's right 

it's down there written in black and white --- for you 

it's what the papers say 

you know it's true 

they're responsible citizens and would they lie to you? 

it's what the papers say 

you know it's right 

it's down there written in black and white --- for you 

it's what the papers say 

you know it's true 

they're the pillars of society and would they lie to you? 

it's what the papers say 

you know it's right 

it's down there written in black and white --- for you 

it's what the papers say 

you know it's true 

they're responsible citizens and would they lie to you?
