Golden Earring - N.E.W.S. Lyrics






N.E.W., N.E.W., N.E.W., S, North, East, West and South
Read all about it, read all about it
Neeeeeeeeeeeeews
I wanna know about the weather tomorrow
I wanna know what happened today
I wanna feel that I'm a part of the games
That all the other people play

I mean being in touch with the actual thing,
No matter how amazing
So I turn on my radio, switch on my TV,
Open a paper and a magazine
Let's see what they've got,
Let's see what they've got
Let's see what they've got to upset me
It's pitiful, shameful,
All I hear and read and see
Four directions of the wind,
And a four-way misery
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah [2x]

Well once upon a time I was a sailorman,
Curious about my destiny
So I sailed away on a ship of slaves;
The rest, you know, is history
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah [2x]

There's gotta be a lesson for you and me,
I mean everybody
How come we never seem to learn,
From the things that we all study
Let me hear you say
North: Scandinavia, Alaska, Siberia
East: Japan, China and India
West: Europe and the US of America
South: Australia, South America, South Africa
Spell it out: N.E., Who, me? Yeah You!
Double U and S for South
Jungle drum, word of mouth
We're gonna get it together, we're gonna work it out.
We're gonna get it together, work it out, work it out
So I turn on my radio, switch on my TV,
Open a paper and a magazine
Let's see what they've got, let's see what they've got,
Let's see what they've got, to update me
It's pitiful, shameful, all I hear and read and see
Four directions of the wind and a four-way misery
North, East, West
We're gonna get it together, we're gonna work it out
We're gonna get it together, work it out, work it out
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

  2. S.... M....

    We're these songs released as singles in the USA

  3. M.... R....

    The immortal Golden Earring. These guys have been recording for over 50 yeard

  4. D.... A....

    One of my favorites from this record, despite AllMusic's harsh description of N.E.W.S. and Orwell's Year as _musical abortions._

  5. J.... H....

    still a great song that sounds terrific 34 years later!

  6. D.... D....

    Song is pretty close to King Crimson's Sound in the 80ies. Great video and lyrics.

  7. T.... 9....

    thanks to MTV. artists popular in the sixties and seventies were able to stretch out creativity in music videos. too bad MTV is mostly jive-ass reality shows than music videos. I just don't know how MTV today has audiences.

  8. A.... T....

    Zeitgeist der achziger Jahre...

  9. b.... ....

    Nice video, reminds me of Peter Gabriel!

    b.... ....

    borgduck Bananarama

    S.... K....

  11. g.... ....

    I really like this song and the video interesting :)

  12. D.... G....

    It is a shame that commercial radio 'shaped' '80s music the way they wanted, when there was so much more to enjoy.  Not many even have a clue what is actually out there!
    Great album BTW!!!

    D.... G....

    Dan Giles that is true even more so today!!
