Describes the moment when you realise the drummer always gets the girl. Jackson Browne said the same in 'Rosie'
Lyrics
I CAN’T BELIEVE THE NEWS
Copyright January 1998
Music by Paul Jeffery,Lyrics by Peter Fellows
I can’t get to sleep at night
Cos I can’t get you out of my mind
Then if I eventually drift to sleep
It’s you in my dream I find
I know you don’t know how I feel about you
Now I know you don’t feel the same way too
I wish I’d never noticed you back then
But I still remember the where and when
I can’t believe the news I heard that day
I stayed composed outside, inside I was blown away
I couldn’t cope, I couldn’t cope with what you had to say
You won’t know how much that hurt until your dying day
I don’t know what made me turn around
The loudness was replaced by a silent sound
All of a sudden I felt alive
I thought I’d found a road my life would drive
Chorus
Now I have to carry on down a dead end street
Just in case one day you want us to meet
It’s a slim chance I know but it’s one I have to take
Every day it’s a choice I have to make or I’d break
