Lyrics:
Verse One
Page One, what's in the news?
Another fake tan, another booze cruise,
Another big headline packed full of clues,
A spread of drunk royals having a toose,
Needless clutter there to confuse,
People can't tell what's lies and what's truths,
All we hear is negative views,
By page ten we'll be singing the blues.
Page two, what's at the top?
Another celebrity given the chop!
Who's next off their block?
Who's next to shave off their mop?
Jin palace - parked at the dock,
What's the name of that brand new frock?
Every word followed by the flock,
Whilst everyone else works around the clock.
Chorus
Papers just like glossy magazines,
Preaching their artificial dreams,
Now everytime I turn on the t.v.
All i hear, are not so V.I.P.'s
Verse Two
Page Three, Lookin' through The Sun,
Make sure I hide this one from my mum,
I don't see how this can be news,
Someone's privacy your allowed to abuse,
But it's alright, my star signs here,
Meet a dark stranger, get a new career,
You've been on something stronger than beer,
If you're makin' predictions based on days of the year,
Page four, another love affair?
Guess what, I don't really care,
Sounds like a right nightmare,
No wonder I found this on my train chair,
But don't worry, it's not all bad,
There's a crossword in the back I can give to my dad,
But they'll keep printing, day after day,
Looks like bad news is here to stay...
Chorus
Chorus (Last line is different):
Not so V.I.P.'s make me want to scream.

@Iincd hey! this is only a demo, in the coming months we are going to polish it, change it, and re-record it using better equipment and it will sound a lot better! :) If you're keen to have this though, just send us a personal message with your email and we'll send it over :) Glad you like it!

the music is fine, the vocals are okay during the verse (lay off the delay), but the chorus is sloppy. the vocal delay with the reverb doesn't work. try a distortion effect if you have to touch it at all. i'd say go for a more natural approach. it sounds compter-programmed.
