Lyrics A Balladeer

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
