Good News Lyrics
Chris Rea
Hes watching the girls on the dance floor
Hes watching the light in her hair
Hes praying that loves gonna come soon
Theres a sweet smell of hope in the air
Just another boy from a steel town
With the flash of the mill in his eye
He dont move for hip cool or fashion
But he knows where the deepest one lies
And hed love to be warm
And hed love to love you
So give him some good news
All the cards on the table
But dont look that man in the eye
Say a prayer for the dealer
And kiss your old life goodbye
Go to church light a candle
But dont lose your head for gods sake
Why is my heart beating faster
Oh why do my hands start to shake
cos hed love to be warm
And hed love to love you
So give him some good news
