Yesterday's Paper Songtext
von The Week That Was

Early to work
Bag and the keys
The march to town
Rain splits the floor
And files underground
Down escalators
Past the posters
Grabs the latest news

We can′t help it
It's our fault
Memory fades
And stays by the ground
Home of the trains
Words fill the air
But die in seconds
The work here is done
And left on the ground


Read all about it
Do without it
Who′s without this news?
Yesterday's paper
Discarded again
Like crushing old paper
Save it for later

Story's rehearsed
Repeat it again
Out of sight, out of mind
Yet it still remains

Who stays waiting?
Who holds the gun?
Standing by somewhere
Save for another time

Yesterday′s news
Say the worst is to come
So it′s done now, it's gone
Yet only begun

The following pictures
A crop to the fit
So the shock disappears
As soon as it hits


Who stays waiting?
Who holds the gun?
Standing by somewhere
Save for another time

Telephone bleeps
I′m dragged from the bed
The morning is dark
The headlines are fresh

There's nothing in between what is and what isn′t
Is that what I'm looking for?
Whose business is this?

You recognize yourself in another
You recognize another and in time
Those games in the park and places you go
How will I know?
How can you leave me in the dark?

Radio bullets repeating ahead
The voice cuts the line
The word left unsaid

There′s nothing in between what is and what isn't
Is that what I'm looking for?
Whose business is this?

You recognize yourself in another
You recognize another and in time
Those games in the park and places you go
How will I know?
How can you leave me in the dark?
