Sunday Papers by Joe Jackson Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mother doesn't go out any more
Just sits at home and rolls her spastic eyes
But every weekend through the door
Come words of wisdom from the world outside
[Pre-Chorus]
If you want to know about the bishop and the actress
If you want to know how to be a star
If you want to know 'bout the stains on the mattress
You can read it in the (Sunday papers)
(Sunday papers)
[Verse 2]
Mother's wheelchair stays out in the hall
Why should she go out when the TV's on
Whatever moves beyond these walls
She'll know the facts when Sunday comes along
[Pre-Chorus]
If you want to know about the mad punk rockers
If you want to know how to play guitar
If you want to know about any other suckers
You can read it in the (Sunday papers)
Read it in the (Sunday papers)
[Chorus]
(Sunday papers) Don't ask no questions
(Sunday papers) Don't get no lies
(Sunday papers) Don't raise objections
(Sunday papers) Ain't got no eyes
[Verse 3]
Brother's heading that way now I guess
He just read something made his face turn blue
Well I got nothing against the press
They wouldn't print it if it wasn't true
[Pre-Chorus]
If you want to know about the gay politician (oh,yeah!)
If you want to know how to drive your car
If you want to know about the new sex position
You can read it in the (Sunday papers)
Read it in the (Sunday papers)
[Chorus]
(Sunday papers) Don't ask no questions
(Sunday papers) Don't get no lies
(Sunday papers) Don't raise objections
(Sunday papers) Ain't got no eyes
[Chorus]
(Sunday papers) Don't ask no questions
(Sunday papers) Don't get no lies
(Sunday papers) Don't raise objections
(Sunday papers) Ain't got no eyes
[Outro]
Read all about it, (Sunday papers)
Read all about it, (Sunday papers)
Read all about it, (Sunday papers)
Read all about it, (Sunday papers)
Read all about it, (Sunday papers)
Get your Sunday paper, get your Sunday paper, get your
Read all about it, (Sunday papers)
Get your Sunday paper, get your Sunday paper, get your
Read all about it, (Sunday papers)
Read all about it, (Sunday papers)
Mother doesn't go out any more
Just sits at home and rolls her spastic eyes
But every weekend through the door
Come words of wisdom from the world outside
[Pre-Chorus]
If you want to know about the bishop and the actress
If you want to know how to be a star
If you want to know 'bout the stains on the mattress
You can read it in the (Sunday papers)
(Sunday papers)
[Verse 2]

Why should she go out when the TV's on
Whatever moves beyond these walls
She'll know the facts when Sunday comes along

If you want to know how to play guitar
If you want to know about any other suckers
You can read it in the (Sunday papers)
