It's been a long time coming
And the cards were stacked
It's been a long, hard road to hell and back
Your love meant trouble
From the day we met
You won every hand, I lost every bet
CHORUS
Now you think that I should've known better
Now you think that I...I should've seen it come
My heart sank when I read that letter
It sank like a stone
It sank like a stone
Cup of cold coffee, yesterday's mail
Bad love like this is always bound to fail
Your love meant trouble
From the day we met
If you want your things
They're on the front step
CHORUS
All alone in my kitchen
All alone in my head
Some things you can't take back
Once they've been said
Don't know what this love is for
All I know is, I don't want it anymore
CHORUSMother 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
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 about the stains on the mattress
You can read it in the Sunday papers, Sunday papers
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
If you want to know about the man gone bonkers
If you want to know how to play guitar
If you want to know about the other suckers
You can read it in the Sunday papers, read it in the Sunday papers
Sunday papers don't ask no questions
Sunday papers don't get no lies
Sunday papers don't raise objection
Sunday papers don't got no eyes
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
If you want to know about the gay politician
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
Sunday papers don't ask no questions
Sunday papers don't get no lies
Sunday papers don't raise objection
Sunday papers don't got no eyes
Sunday papers don't ask no questions
Sunday papers don't get no lies
Sunday papers don't raise objection
Sunday papers don't got no eyes
Read all about it, Sunday papers
