Joe Jackson Sunday Papers HQ with Lyrics in Description

Описание: Track 2 from his excellent debut album “Look Sharp!” released in 1979 copyright A&M Records. It was recorded at Eden Studios in London. A&M executive and producer David Kershenbaum signed Jackson after hearing his demo tape the year before and went on to produce or co-produce six of his albums. Jackson’s energetic songs were heavily influenced by reggae music and he became one of the most important artists of the “new wave” of British musicians topping the charts. The band wanted this album to have a spontaneous, live feel so most of the songs were recorded from the first takes with no overdubs added in post-production. It received excellent reviews and reached No. 20 on the Billboard chart, achieving Gold status five months later. Written by Joe Jackson and produced by David Kershenbaum. Featuring:

Joe Jackson - Lead vocals, piano & harmonica
Gary Sanford – Lead & rhythm guitars
Graham Maby – Bass & background vocals
David Houghton – Drums & background vocals

Mother doesn't go out anymore
Just sits at home and rolls her spastic eyes
But every weekend through the door
Come words of wisdom from the world outside

If you wanna know about the bishop and a actress
If you wanna know how to be a star
If you wanna know 'bout the stains on the mattress
You can read it in the (Sunday papers, Sunday papers)

Mother's wheelchair stays out in the hall
Why should she go out when the TV's on?
Whatever moves beyond these walls
She'll know the facts when Sunday comes along

If you wanna know about the mad punk rockers
If you wanna know how to play guitar
If you wanna know about any other suckers
You can read it in the (Sunday papers) read it in the (Sunday papers)

(Sunday papers) don't get no lies
(Sunday papers) don't raise objections

Brother's headin' that way now, I guess
He just read somethin' made his face turn blue
Well, I got nothin' 'gainst the press
They wouldn't print it if it wasn't true

If you wanna know about the gay politician (yeah)
If you wanna know how to drive your car
If you wanna know 'bout the new sex position
You can read it in the (Sunday papers) read it in the (Sunday papers)

(Sunday papers) don't ask no questions
(Sunday papers) don't get no lies
(Sunday papers) don't raise objections
(Sunday papers) ain't got no eyes

(Sunday papers) don't get no lies
(Sunday papers) don't raise objections
(Sunday papers) ain't got no eyes
