1. N.E.W.S.

N.E.W., N.E.W., N.E.W., S, North, East, West and South
Read all about it, read all about it
Neeeeeeeeeeeeews
I wanna know about the weather tomorrow
I wanna know what happened today
I wanna feel that I'm a part of the games
That all the other people play

I mean being in touch with the actual thing,
No matter how amazing
So I turn on my radio, switch on my TV,
Open a paper and a magazine
Let's see what they've got,
Let's see what they've got
Let's see what they've got to upset me
It's pitiful, shameful,
All I hear and read and see
Four directions of the wind,
And a four-way misery
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (2x)

Well once upon a time I was a sailorman,
Curious about my destiny
So I sailed away on a ship of slaves;
The rest, you know, is history
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (2x)

There's gotta be a lesson for you and me,
I mean everybody
How come we never seem to learn,
From the things that we all study
Let me hear you say
North: Scandinavia, Alaska, Siberia
East: Japan, China and India
West: Europe and the US of America
South: Australia, South America, South Africa
Spell it out: N.E., Who, me? Yeah You!
Double U and S for South
Jungle drum, word of mouth
We're gonna get it together, we're gonna work it out.
We're gonna get it together, work it out, work it out
So I turn on my radio, switch on my TV,
Open a paper and a magazine
Let's see what they've got, let's see what they've got,
Let's see what they've got, to update me
It's pitiful, shameful, all I hear and read and see
Four directions of the wind and a four-way misery
North, East, West
We're gonna get it together, we're gonna work it out
We're gonna get it together, work it out, work it out
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah


2. IT'S OVER NOW

Can you tell me what it's all about now
There's a rumor spreading all over town
You'll never guess it or understand it, baby
Start living with a new idea

It's over - close the book
Over - off the hook
It's over - like a war in peace
It's over....

Oh I'm running from the guillotine
Carve my name in the hanging tree
Never thought that I was such a fool
But when it's over, baby
What can you do

It's over - you better believe it
It's over - nothing can change it
It's over - can't you see
It's over....

I was only seventeen and I loved you so
I never loved a girl the way I loved you, girl
I was only seventeen and I loved you so
I never loved a girl the way I loved you, girl

I'm heading for a dead-man's curve
Graveyard's on the next left turn
Never thought that I was such a fool
But when it's over, baby
What can you do

It's over - you'd better believe it
It's over - nothing can change it
It's over - can't you see
It's over....

I was only seventeen and I loved you so
I never loved a girl the way I loved you, girl
I was only seventeen and I loved you so
I never loved a girl the way I loved you, girl
Over...,it's all over now, over, over, now
It's all over, all over, all over.....
