News of the World

entry picture

 

Shall I tell you about my life,

Amid the abuse being hurled?

Because speculation’s rife

I chose to close down the News of the World.

 

I guess I’ve got everything I need

But nevertheless I want more

What drives me is power and greed

With contacts I have I can scoff at the law.

 

This Hearing has not been misled

I’ve told you the truth; would I lie?

You can check everything I’ve said

Turn on your TV and tune in to Sky.

 

               But I’ll cover my tracks with a good plan

               And donate a bit of my wealth

               I don’t say I’m a good man

               And nor does anyone else.

 

So I’ve told you about my life

A story complete and unfurled

Though I still hang to Sky

I had to sacrifice News of the World.

Nice one John,
The story of a fleeting hack set to a tune by Fleetwood Mac ?

Pithy and on the nail.
Hey - is that "smoothie" with the tie shown in a photo on the current WOL home page any
relation to the beach bum shown on your own profile page?
:-)
