Whether it was for a movie, a TV show, an animation or an album, Elton John wrote heartfelt music that changed history.
Tell Me What the Papers Say - Elton John
Album: Ice on Fire
genre: Pop Rock Rock
I spy headlines, newsprint tells lies
Tell me what the papers say
Save lives don’t drive, everybody’s got to die someday
At least that’s what the papers say
Coal mines closed down
Nobody’s working underground today
More jails, peace for sale
Japanese still killing whales
Teen dreams
On two inch screens
Lipstick boys all look like queens
Least that’s what the papers say
I spy headlines, newsprint tells lies
Tell me what the papers say
Save lives don’t drive, everybody’s got to die someday
At least that’s what the papers say
Dope and pills, guns kill
Death just buys cheap thrills
Coal mines, closed down
Nobody’s working underground today
Teen dreams, on two inch screens
Lipstick boys all look like queens
Least that’s what the papers say
Dope and pills, guns kill
Death just buys cheap thrills
Coal mines, closed down
Nobody’s working underground today
Teen dreams, on two inch screens
Lipstick boys all look like queens
Least that’s what the papers say.
