The Ex (Punk Band) - Hit the Headlines lyrics

I tried to get something into the papers
It was about us demonstrators
The reporter said: "no no not again
That's no news
Come on mate, tell me something new"
I tried to get something into the papers
It was about us demonstrators
The reporter said:  "no no not again
That's no news
Come on mate, tell me something new"

Full of rage i smacked him in the face
The editor said: "great
We'll make room on page eight" full of rage
I smacked him in the face
The editor said: "great
We'll make room on page eight"

Well, if there's room on page eight
Then there's room on seven or six or five
So I made him listen to "Lee Towers live"
Room page eight seven, six, five
Room page eight seven, six, five
Then there's room on seven or six or five
So I made him listen to "Lee Towers live"
And after an encore he cried: "no more"
And after an encore he promised me page four
Still the reporter said: "no no
No that's no news
Come on mate, tell me something new"

Then I broke his knee
And I was given page three
And when I washed his hair with glue
It went up to number two
Now read about us in the papers
Us non-violent demonstrators
But the reporter said: "no no
No that's no news
Come on mate, tell me something new"

So I changed his face changed his face
Changed his face into a human disgrace
And the editor said: "very fine
Just in time for deadline
Now you're gonna hit the headlines"

It ain't what we want or what it stands for
It's just the way it's done
And we've only just begun
It ain't what we want or what it stands for
It's just the way it's done
And we've only just begun

So I changed his face changed his face
Changed his face into a human disgrace
Just in time for the deadline
Now we're gonna hit the headlines
