Headline Hustler   





I got me a job on the local paper 

Everybody there thinks I'm nice 

But they'd better look twice 

'Cos it isn't me 

I wanna be

You keep writing me letters 

But I haven't got time 

I'm busy looking at photographs 

But they'd better not be from the BBC 

You're gonna hear from me

Better not turn around 

I'll stab you in the back 

And you don't know what I'm hiding 

Under my plastic mac, under my plastic mac  

 

I got a very good friend in the CIA 

And he says that he never takes bribes 

But he's telling lies 

'Cos he's into me 

He knows I wanna be

If your brother's wearing dresses 

And your neighbour's swapped his wife 

Well, I'm gonna make the headlines 

With your private life 

With your other wife
