I never even heard of this song by Anne Murray, never heard it on the radio, but with bad news happening on the news these days, the lyrics seem refreshing.
Even Isis would probably like this song.
* * * * * * * * "A Little Good News" by Anne Murray (Written by Charles Black, Rory Bourke, and Thomas Rocco)
Peaked at # 74 on the Pop chart in 1983 while hitting #1 on the Country chart
I rolled out this morning Kids had the morning news show on Bryant Gumbel was talking about the fighting in Lebanon Some senator was squawking about the bad economy It's gonna get worse you see, we need a change in policy
There's a local paper rolled up in a rubber band One more sad story's one more than I can stand Just once how I'd like to see the headline say "Not much to print today, can't find nothing bad to say" because...
Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single building down Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain We sure could use a little good news today
I'll come home this evening, I'll bet that the news will be the same Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane How I want to hear the anchorman talk about a county fair And how we cleaned up the air How everybody learned to care, tell me...
Nobody was assassinated in the whole Third World today And in the streets of Ireland, all the children had to do was play And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA We sure could use a little good news today
Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single building down Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain We sure could use a little good news today
