[Intro] [Arpeggios] /     / [4 note riff] [Verse 1] Mandy’s in the papers ’cause she tried to go to Spain She’ll soon be in the dock and in the papers once again. Vicki’s got her story about the mirror and the cane. It may be false it may be true           But nothing has been proved. [Verse 2] Stephen’s in his dressing-gown now breakfasting alone Too sick to eat he’s on his feet and to the telephone The police inspector soothes him with his sympathetic tone It may be false it may be true But nothing has been proved. [Bridge] In the House a resignation guilty faces everyone Christine’s fallen out with Lucky Johnny’s got a gun. "Please please me”’s number one                                                           [Strings] (spoken)It’s a Scandal such a scandal. [Verse 3] Now Stephen’s in the dock for spending money that was earned By Christine (and the prosecution says) that money burned A hole in Stephen’s pocket for expensive sins he yearned It may be false it may be true But nothing has been proved. [Bridge]                 (In the news) a suicide note (in the court) an empty space Even Mandy’s looking worried Christine’s pale and drawn "Please please me”’s number one                                                           [Strings] (spoken)It’s a Scandal such a scandal. [Verse 4] Last night he wrote these words to his friend:   "Sorry about the mess". "I’m guilty ’til proved innocent in the public eye and press" The funeral’s very quiet because all his friends have fled They may be false they may be true They’ve all got better things to do They may be false they may be true But nothing has been proved ooh [Outro] Nothing No Nothing has been proved No nothing   Nothing No nothing  Nothing  No nothing

À propos de la chanson

La chanson aborde des thèmes de scandale et d'incertitude autour d'événements judiciaires. On y suit les péripéties de divers personnages, comme Mandy, qui attire l'attention des médias pour des raisons douteuses, et Stephen, qui se retrouve dans une situation précaire, accusé d'usage malhonnête de fonds. À travers des récits entrelacés de rumeurs et de soupçons, l'absence de preuves tangibles est soulignée, laissant planer un lourd doute sur la vérité des faits. Le contexte semble être celui d'une société où le jugement public précède souvent la présomption d'innocence, un reflet des excès médiatiques et des scandales qui marquent l'actualité. Les personnages, dans leur fragilité, font face à une réalité où les apparences et les accusations peuvent avoir des conséquences dévastatrices, qu'elles soient fondées ou non.
