Lucy Meacock

There's a lady on the telly and I love her so
I'll tell a story, but where do I start?
Whenever she's on telly and she reads the news
It feels like a bullet in my heart
I go weak at the knees when she's up on the screen
She's got style, she's got journalistic grace
My emotions are (?) when she's reading a news item about Sellafield nuclear waste
Who is she?

Lucy Meacock, always in my thoughts
Lucy Meacock, queen of Granada Reports
I've got me tea on me lap, waiting for six o'clock so I can be with my Lucy Meacock

If you're not from the North West, you might not know this girl
She presents Granada Reports wi' a bloke called Tony
She's got loads of clips on YouTube
I watch her all the time
She's interviewing Lena Zavaroni
She's interviewed the best
I'd like to put her to the test
And ask her questions - not like Paxman, won't be mean
I'd say "Where do you buy your blouses?"
"Do you like bungalows or houses?"
And erm… "Is there a Mr Meacock on the scene?" No harm in asking!

Lucy Meacock, always in my thoughts
Lucy Meacock, queen of Granada Reports
When she turns me the job
(?)
She's lovely, that Lucy Meacock

Will I ever get to meet her? Well, I don't think so
After all, she reads the news, I sing folk hits
There for t'work (?)
Get a job with that Granada
So I can get a good look at her (?)
Yes I'd supply the booze
She could supply the autocues
And we could run away to Blackpool and see the lights
And as we cuddle up in bed
And all the words that would be said
I'd say "Lucy, what have we got for tonight?"
Fingers crossed, eh?

Lucy Meacock, always in my thoughts
Lucy Meacock, queen of Granada Reports
She'd be my princess darling
(?)
I want to marry that Lucy
Always that Lucy
That lovely Lucy Meacock

Uh, I know where you live
