Slow News Day
[Verse 1]
Got another dish on the man on Tuesday
Come Wednesday no one wants to know
Did the man die?
‘Cause if nobody died it ain’t worth a line
My editor said to me

[Verse 2]
Got a call from this girl on Thursday
By Friday she’d killed herself on the waterfront
Did anyone know?
Was she a pretty muse, if so I’ll put her in the news
My editor asked of me

[Pre-Chorus]
I said, oh maybe
Oh maybe
Maybe she was once a famous soul
But oh maybe
Oh maybe
Maybe she was just afraid of getting old
[Chorus]
So there weren’t enough blood on the bay I heard the man say
Called it just another no good slow news day

[Verse 3]
Got another dish on the man on Sunday
Come Monday no one wants to show
Did the man shoot?
‘Cause if he killed another kid
It was probably something that kid did
My editor asked of me

[Pre-Chorus]
I said, oh maybe
Oh maybe
Maybe he’d forgot to repay those loans
But oh maybe
Oh maybe
Maybe he was just trying to get home

[Chorus]
So it weren’t the right blood on the day I heard the man say
Called it just another no good slow news day

[Refrain]
So it weren’t the right blood on the day I heard the man say
Called it just another no good slow news day
