lyrics
Another MP in the headlines
Suspicious public want a deadline
Have they found a cure for cancer
Will we ever know the answer
And then a problem for the General Committee
What do they do
When the batsman gets silly
Its on the headlines
Can you take thier word
Its on the headlines
No matter how absurd
An angry protest from a housewife
Delivered on behalf of wildlife
Local community relations
Not living up to expectations
A judge and jury swear on the bible
But what would they do
If the bible were libel
Its on the headlines
Can you take thier word
Its on the headlines
No matter how absurd
And if you want to know
Whats in the papers
Then read 'em and weep
But never ever take thier word as read
Its true
It might be blue
Suspicious public want a deadline
Have they found a cure for cancer
Will we ever know the answer
And then a problem for the General Committee
What do they do
When the batsman gets silly
Its on the headlines
Can you take thier word
Its on the headlines
No matter how absurd
An angry protest from a housewife
Delivered on behalf of wildlife
Local community relations
Not living up to expectations
A judge and jury swear on the bible
But what would they do
If the bible were libel
Its on the headlines
Can you take thier word
Its on the headlines
No matter how absurd
And if you want to know
Whats in the papers
Then read 'em and weep
But never ever take thier word as read
Its true
It might be blue
