Tabloid Magazine Lyrics
Temperamental editors
Searching for the passion
Overpaid and over-rated
Looking for a cash in
It's too late
If you want to read a little
Useless information
If you've had enough
With all the troubles with our nation
Don't wait
And you read about it
You just can't sleep without
The pages of the magazine
Don't believe in all you read
You can't trust the tabloid magazine
And I'm about to break down
It's just a tabloid magazine
And I don't wanna break down
Picture hungry journalists
Searching for some action
Running all the stories
Like it's going out of fashion
It's too late
Everybody's reading
Everybody else's problems
Everybody's busy stopping
What they haven't started
Don't wait
Don't wanna be around 'em
Better off without them
You know you can't escape them
And you read about them all the time
From the pages of the magazine
But you can't believe in all you read
Well it's too late
And you're gonna have to wait
And you won't want turn out the light
Searching for the passion
Overpaid and over-rated
Looking for a cash in
It's too late
Useless information
If you've had enough
With all the troubles with our nation
Don't wait
You just can't sleep without
The pages of the magazine
Don't believe in all you read
You can't trust the tabloid magazine
And I'm about to break down
It's just a tabloid magazine
And I don't wanna break down
Searching for some action
Running all the stories
Like it's going out of fashion
It's too late
Everybody else's problems
Everybody's busy stopping
What they haven't started
Don't wait
Better off without them
You know you can't escape them
From the pages of the magazine
But you can't believe in all you read
And you're gonna have to wait
And you won't want turn out the light
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
I remember reading this song was written by Chris about his GF (now wife) buying all the Tabloid papers that had The Living End articles in them, then listening to her talk about how "awfull they were", even though she bought it LOL
This song aint just about leaving celebrities alone, its about how simple minded people are and how were feeding the journalists by buying their articles and "useless information. Its about how we care more about whats going on with celebrities and whats written in the magazines then whats going on in the world "and you read about it and You cant sleep with out the pages of the magazine". Its all about how most of what we read in these magazines and articles are false facts just to try and make more money andf sell more articles, "dont believe in all you read".
@Pigmy I know you posted this years and years ago now (did people abandon 'Songmeanings'? And if so, why??? Was it replaced?, but either way, this is a spot on-analysis of one of Chris' simpler but still clever tunes. The chorus hook and etc play up the magazines being trashy, untrustworthy, desperate, all of which they are, but what makes it a "Living End" song is this idea that people are willingly reading this inane bullshit INSTEAD of keeping up on what's important, and the issues, and the unpleasant realities of the world at large and even their own lives....

About how despicable and evil people who profit from tabloid magazines are, and how ordinary people are drawn to the personal lives of the famous. Lets leave the celebrities alone, they deserve their privacy!
I love this song when i heard it live i just stood there in ore..This song is about how the public can be so obsessed with celebraties that just want privacy bu the reporters just keep getting more and more stuff on them,..i think celebs should be able to be armed cos most of the reporters out there are scum..once again good song..
what's so interesting reading exaggerated storys about celebs anyway, let them have some privacy and be able to live a "normal" life, hope i never become a celebrity =)
