The Daily Mail is a British, daily middle-markettabloid newspaper owned by the Daily Mail and General Trust.
First published in 1896 by Lord Northcliffe, it is the United Kingdom's second biggest-selling daily newspaper after The Sun. Its sister paper The Mail on Sunday was launched in 1982. Scottish and Irish editions of the daily paper were launched in 1947 and 2006 respectively. The Daily Mail was Britain's first daily newspaper aimed at the newly literate "lower-middle class market resulting from mass education, combining a low retail price with plenty of competitions, prizes and promotional gimmicks", and the first British paper to sell a million copies a day.
It was, from the outset, a newspaper for women, being the first to provide features especially for them, and is the only British newspaper whose readership is more than 50% female.
The Daily Mail has had substantial and controversial political positions over its history, including accusations of warmongering before World War I. Lord Rothermere and Lord Beaverbrook were instrumental in launching the United Empire Party in 1929 which sought a British Empire trading block. Rothermere was sympathetic to the fascist movement in Great Britain until 1934, when the British Union of Fascists held a rally where violence occurred.
(VERSE 1)
All caught up in a crazy dance
Living on rhythm and circumstance
All washed up, can’t you see?
That’s your problem!
Make a change in our hum-drum lives
To re-awake and realize
We’re all living on a... time bomb!
That’s gonna blow us to pieces
(BRIDGE)
Pressure’s on, heart attack
Science fiction is science fact
Watch your backs, when the bullets fly
That’s our problem!
(CHORUS)
So do I, how do I, when do I do wrong?
Take a look, take a look around town
Get get get along down
Now do I, how do I, when do I do wrong?
Hey hey hey yeah, no no no yeah
So do I, how do I, when do I do wrong?
Sing it out, sing it sing it out loud
Come on, come on, come on yeah now
(VERSE 2)
Crazy peoples right to speak
Pushing and a shoving
On a one way street
That’s enough, I draw the line
Go to sleep for a long long time
Blinkers on, straight ahead
Button my lip, that’s what I said
Listening, I can't justify
Oh, the pain in me I cry
(BRIDGE)
Pressure’s on, heart attack
Science fiction is science fact
Watch your backs, when the bullets fly
That’s our problem!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
So do I, how do I, when do I do wrong?
Take a look, take a look around town
Get get get along down
Now do I, how do I, when do I do wrong?
Hey hey hey yeah, no no no yeah
So do I, how do I, when do I do wrong?
Sing it out, sing it sing it out loud
Come on, come on, come on yeah now
(FINAL CHORUS)
So do I, how do I, when do I do wrong?
Take a look, take a look around town
Get get get along down
Now do I, how do I, when do I do wrong?
Hey hey hey yeah, no no no yeah
So do I, how do I, when do I do wrong?
Sing it out, sing it sing it out loud
Come on, come on, come on yeah now
Do I, how do I, when do I do wrong?
Sing it out, sing it sing it out yeah
