Mike & The Mechanics - Word Of Mouth lyrics

Now the world is getting older

There's a few things to be said

Do you believe the things they told you

Do you believe the things you've read.

There's a rumour on the corner

But it's always been denied

Cause they don't want you any wiser

You're just toeing the party line.

From the west side to the east side

From the north side to the south

You'll never get back information

If you believe in the word of mouth.

Look out for those who still want to hang on

Look out for those who live in the past

Get out and listen to the whisper

Because the times are changing fast.

From the west side to the east side

From the north side to the south

You'll never get bad information

If you believe in the word of mouth.

You don't believe the information

You don't believe it when it's denied

So when you're reading explanations

You have to read between the lines.

From the west side to the east side

Through the windows I'm looking out

You'll never get back information

If you believe in the word of mouth.
