Breaking News is a portrayal of celebrity life, where red tops will sell their Grannies to get a picture of a Z-lister parking his car one minute, then drop him or her like an anchor in the sea the next.
lyrics
I met a nice girl in a coffee shop
She didn't mind me spilling tea all down her top
In the news, hot off the press
In the news, in your Sunday best
Breaking news
I took my dog for a walk in the park
We played fetch for an hour 'til it got dark
In the news, hot off the press
In the news, if you don't get dressed
Breaking news
Yesterday's hero, tomorrow's joke
If your wife walks out and leaves you flat broke
It's not the dream that they sold you
It's not what you'd hoped
It's not a game anymore
No one's knocking at your door
Breaking news
I went for a run in the afternoon
It was a cold, damp day and I got soaked through
In the news, hot off the press
In the news, in your pants and vest
Breaking news
Late for a meeting, short on time
No change for the meter got a parking fine
In the news, hot off the press
In the news, a source of public interest
Breaking news
Yesterday's hero, tomorrow's joke
If your wife walks out and leaves you flat broke
It's not the dream that they sold you
It's not what you'd hoped
It's not a game anymore
No one's knocking at your door
Breaking news
Read all about it
In the news, hot off the press
Breaking news, in your Sunday best
In the news, hot off the press
Breaking news, in your pants and vest
In the news, hot off the press
Breaking news, if you don't get dressed
In the news, yesterday's stories
News, enough to make you depressed
Breaking News
