"Six O'Clock News" tells the poignant story of Wanda, who became a mother in 1951 under challenging circumstances, and her son, Jimmy. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of childhood play, domestic life, and the passage of time. As Wanda ages and Jimmy grows, the narrative shifts to a shocking moment on the evening news that shatters their lives. The song reflects on the harsh realities of life, the fleetingness of youth, and the stark contrast between innocence and tragedy, set against the backdrop of everyday experiences.
