Off the album Look Sharp
This is a very simple song. Most of it is 3 chords, so I haven`t
put them all down. It`s pretty simple if you play along to the record.
The only hard line is the Mad punk rockers bit;
This is the song as heard by me, etc.
Enjoy!

Mother doesn`t go out anymore.
Just sits at home and rolls her spas-tic eyes.
But every weekend through the door
Come words of wisdom from the world out-side.
Cm B/C Cm Gm7
If you wanna know about the bishop and the actress
If you wanna know how to be a star
If you wanna know about the stains on the mattress
(Repeat main vamp)
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 `bout any other suckers
You can read it in the Sunday Papers
read it in the Sunday Papers

Chorus:
(Sunday Papers)
Don`t ask no questions
(Sunday Papers)
Don`t get no lies

Don`t raise objections

Brother`s headin` that way, now, I guess.
He just read something, 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 (oh 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
