  • If it is as you say and it's coming your way
    Who will stop ya?
    If it is what you do and it's all up to you
    Don't watch your TV when you're broken up

    These middle class kids are so strange
    Get everything for nothing, nothing comes your way
    Emotional, bored and self contained
    Full of fronted self delusion but I guess that is the way to be a

    Tabloid lover, one bed to another
    Tabloid lover, splatters any other
    Tabloid lover, rocks to box runner
    Gotta get to cover, finally you discover
    You are what you are

    If this is what you do and it's all up to you
    Who's gonna stop ya? Who's gonna block ya?
    If you get it every day and it comes every way
    All much emotion when I'm trying to dream but

    Middle class kids are all the same
    Get everything for nothing, nothing comes your way
    Drugged up, bored and self contained
    And I guess, I could just leave it but I've gotta find a way to kill a

    Tabloid lover, splatters any other
    Sad sec mother, one bed to another
    Tabloid lover, rocks to box runner
    Pound it, I've found I've got to get to cover

    And who will stop you?
    Don't watch the TV when you're dreaming
    Who will stop ya?

    Tabloid lover, one bed to another
    Tabloid lover, splatters any other
    Tabloid lover, she can't get another
    Can't get another, can't get another

    Well, tabloid lover, rocks to box runner
    Tabloid lover, hey, street stunner
    Tabloid lover, can't find another
    Can't find another, you can't find another
