Have You Heard The News by The Reaction

I’m picking up again

Well it got too much

After the accident

Couldnt feel no worse

Oh no no no no no

I turned around and saw him hit the ground

A little earlier, it was a game

I guess the barrier

Must have dropped away

I don’t have to read the news

D’you know anything I’m going through?

Yeah yeah yeah

Have you seen the news?

Hey

Did you see my photograph?

It was on page ten

I swore to everyone

No I’m not to blame

Oh no no no no no

I turned around and saw him hit the ground

A little earlier it was a game

I’m so disposable

You can throw me away yeah yeah

I don’t like to read the news

D’you know anything I’m going through?

Yeah yeah yeah

Have you seen the news?

Hey

What a fool I’ve been

Didn’t get to him in time

What’s been happening?

Its so hard to sleep at night yeah

Well yeah

Its so hard to sleep at night

To sleep at night

Have you seen the news?

Have you seen the news?

Have you seen the news?

Have you seen the news?

Have you heard, have you heard the news?

Have you heard, have you heard the news?

Have you heard, have you heard the news?

I Keep On Telling You – Mark Hollis Demo 1980

Something’s happening here

And you have to really know what’s exactly wrong with you

Wasting my time

Well yeah it’s so very clear it’s the same as mistreating…

I’m sure

If I tell you once

I’m sure

It will be enough

I’m sure

All the pills you do

I’m sure

Never seem to be any use

And if I’m telling you

All the reasons why

It means I’m telling you

What I can do without

Coz you waste my time

You’re pretending it’s so right

Never ending, all the time

do you have to be there?

I keep on telling you

Well yeah I’m talking bout you

I keep on telling you

It never seems to be any use

Playing some kind of game

We’re bending all ofthe rules

Trying to make you of some use

Always the same

Well yeah whatever I say

You will please stop pretending

I’m sure

What you say to me

I’m sure

And the things you see

I’m sure

All the things you do

I’m sure

Never seem to be any use

And if I’m telling you

All the reasons why

It means I’m telling you

What I can do without

Coz you waste my time

You’re pretending it’s so right

Never ending all the time

Do you have to be there?

I keep on telling you

It never seems to be any use

I keep on telling you

It never seems to be any use

I keep on telling you

I keep on telling you

I keep on telling you

I keep on telling you

I keep on telling you

I keep on telling you

Mirror Man – Mark Hollis Demo Version

Out on the street today

We’re parading around

We’re the height of the fashion

And she laughs ‘cos we look the same

And follow all of the rules

Every little bit of my time

Keeps me positive my clothes are in line

I’ll identify my true preening style

Mirror man

Oh mirror man

Mirror man

So we look the same

Mirror man

How else do you expect to live with the town?

Inside of her room today

She’s been working all hours

It’s a final presentation

Each day, dressed a different way

She’s the star of the road

Every little bit of her time

Keeps a visual check that she’s out of line

She’ll wear anything you can’t recognize

Mirror man

Oh mirror man

Mirror man

So we look the same

How else do you expect to live with the town?

Hey! It’s a different day.

Take a look you can throw your clothes away

Every little bit of her time

Keeps her checking that she stands out of line

She’ll wear anything you can’t recognise

Mirror Man

Oh mirror man

Mirror man

So we look the same

Mirror man

How else do you expect to live with the town?

Take a look we’re on your street today

Take a look we’re on your street today

Take a look we’re on your street today

Candy – Mark Hollis Demo Version

This sure is some kind of party

It’s so useful

Surrounds my life with excuses

For what I choose to lose

And my name

Doesn’t look the same to me  now now

No no not me now

And inside

Don’t you know that I feel so bad, yeah yeah

I try to buy more approval

Well I try to now now now now now

But these eyes that I look through

Tell me people don’t seem to matter all that much to me now

When it gets too late

To see me any other way

Anyway

And inside

Don’t you know I feel so bad?

Yeah yeah

Candy,

When I tried to turn away

To feel new again

(Candy)

My emotion cost me pain

Did I look the same

(Candy)

When I think about the times

That I laughed away

(Candy)

the idea you’d cheat me

But look again

What do you say ‘That’s my name’

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah…

And I hope that I’ve kept you amused

To wipe that spit right off my boots

And when I’m home and thinking in the dark

I hope I hope I hope I hope that none of this has had to go too far

When it gets too late

To see me any other way

And it gets so hard to hold on

To everything that I want so bad

Candy

When I tried to turn away

To feel new again

(Candy)

My emotion cost me pain

Did I look the same

(Candy)

When I think about the times

That I laughed away

(Candy)

the idea you’d cheat me

But look again

What do you say ‘That’s my name’

Yeah yeah yeah. Yeah yeah yeah….
