Subject: Obscure Candiana: The Headpins, I've Heard It All Before

Written By: Foo Bar on 09/17/09 at 10:48 pm

Surprisingly, I couldn't find this within 10 seconds of googling, so it's time for yet another transcript from the obscure lyrics vault in case anyone ever has difficulty with what the Headpins were singin' about in the following bit of obscure Candian music from 1983...

THE HEADPINS: I've Heard All About It! (1983, "Line of Fire")

(Get your paper!)
(Paper here!)

(owwwwwwwwwwwwwww!)
Headlines, bad times,
You've got to read between the lines,
What you see is what you get,
You turn the page, and nothin' yet.  (alternative reading: "turn the page, ehhh, nothin' yet...")

CHORUS:
They bring you up,
They bring you down,
Try to turn your head around,
But I've heard it all before!

You can't run, you can't hide,
You can't afford the price to die,
You turn around, and you get screwed,
Make a living tryin' to bullshiat you!

(CHORUS)

Extra!  Extra!  You read all about it!
Second-hand information, it's a regulation!
(owwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!)

(CHORUS / guitar solo / etc)

They bring you up, they bring you down,
Try to turn your head around,
But I've heard it all before,
You know I've heard it all before,
Who cares? 
You know I've heard it all!
(guitar/ending)

<Get your paper! Paper here!>

Headlines, bad times
You gotta read between the lines
What you see is what you get
Turn the page and nothin' yet

Chorus:
They bring you up
They bring you down
Tryin' to turn your head around
But I've heard it all before

You can't run, you can't hide
You can't afford the price to die
You turn around and you get screwed
Make a livin' tryin' to bullsheesh you

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Extra! Extra!
You read all about it
Secondhand information
It's a regulation

(Chorus)



(Repeat Bridge & Chorus)

Ya know I've heard it all before
Who cares!
Ya know I've heard it all...
