Second Hand News - Fleetwood Mac

One of the greatest bands ever, one of the best albums of all time. Every song is a hit, every lick is perfect, and the vocal deliverance is immaculate. Any song off this album could easily make it but I picked Second Hand News not only because it starts off the album, but I think the chorus is just awesome; I mean, I can't even find anywhere that can clearly tell me what he's singing there or if he's just making noises, but it sounds awesome. Lindsey Buckingham is a solid writer, great lyricist, and phenomenal guitar player. Period.

Second Hand News

I know there's nothin' to say
Someone has taken my place
When times go bad
And times get rough
Won't you lay me down in the tall grass
And let me do my stuff

I know I got nothin' on you
I know there's nothin' I can do
When times go bad
And you can't get enough
Won't you lay me down in the tall grass
And let me do my stuff

One thing I think you should know
I ain't gonna miss you when you go
Been down so long
I've been tossed around enough
Oh couldn't you just let me go down
And do my stuff

I know you're hopin' to find
Someone who's gonna give you peace of mind
When times go bad
When times go rough
Won't you lay me down in the tall grass
And let me do my stuff

I'm just second hand news (I'm just second hand news, yeah)
I'm just second hand news (I'm just second hand news, yeah)
I'm just second hand news (I'm just second hand news, yeah)
I'm just second hand news (I'm just second hand news, yeah)
