I Got The News

Lyrics

[Verse:] Mary says things will work out right But Mary don't have a clue Living her life in a TV set Married to some young fool [Verse:] Johnny he works at the corner store He used to play guitar Grew his hair then shaved it off He's a 7-Eleven star [Chorus:] I got the news But mem'ries fade by the afternoon I got the news So I'm confiding in you Yeah I got the news [Verse:] Sister Ella sits in her room Dreamed of pots of gold Missed out on reality Doesn't realise she's gotten old [Verse:] Mary says things'll work out right But she got left behind In the dark and distant corners The corners of her mind [Chorus:] I got the news But mem'ries fade by the afternoon I got the news So I'm confiding in you Yeah I got the news (Ooh ooh ooh) (Ooh-ooh ooh) (Ooh ooh ooh) (Ooh-ooh ooh) [Outro:] I got the news But mem'ries fade, fade by the afternoon I got the news So I'm confiding in you Yeah I got the news
