XPRESS (newspaper)
XPRESS was launched in the UAE on 15 March 2007 as a free weekly newspaper and competitor to the likes of 7DAYS and Emirates Today. XPRESS was set up as a multicultural community paper for all UAE residents, both UAE nationals and expatriates. The tabloid newspaper, published in Dubai by the Al Nisr Group as a sister paper to Gulf News, covers news, leisure and entertainment and sports, with an emphasis on the local.
Development and launch
Work on XPRESS – then known as Project X – began in the basement of the Gulf News offices off Sheikh Zayed Road near Safa Park in early 2005. Rumours of the secret project began to leak into the UAE media industry over the next few months, but the details of the publication – including its name – remained a closely guarded secret until its launch was announced on 12 March 2007.
Initial media reports indicated that Al Nisr Media intended to publish XPRESS twice weekly, and hoped to obtain a licence to publish daily.
However, by the time it launched, XPRESS itself confirmed it would be published once a week, on Thursdays. The publishers have not confirmed whether they intend to seek a daily licence from the Dubai authorities.

Lazy
by: X-press 2-I-I-I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Ooooh, don't you wanna save me
I'm lazy when I'm lovin', I'm lazy when I play
I'm lazy with my girlfriend a thousand times a day
I'm lazy when I'm speaking, I'm lazy when I walk
I'm lazy when I'm dancin' and I'm lazy when I talk
I open up my mouth, it comes rushin' out
Nothin', doin' nadda, never, how you like me now?
Wouldn't it be mad, wouldn't it be fine
Lazy, lucky lady, dancin', lovin' all the time
I-I-I-I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Ooooh, don't you wanna save me
Some folks they got money an' some folks lives are sweet
Some folks make decisions an' some folks clean the streets, now
Imagine what it feels like, imagine how it sounds
Imagine life is perfect an' everything works out
No tears are fallin' from my eyes I'm keepin' all the pain inside
Now don't you wanna live with me? I'm lazy as a man can be!
I-I-I-I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Ooooh, don't you wanna save me
Imagine there's a girlfriend, imagine there's a job
Imagine there's an answer, imagine there's a God
Imagine I'm a Devil, imagine I'm a Saint
Lazy money, lazy sexy, lazy outta space!
No tears are fallin' from my eyes
I'm keepin' all the pain inside
Now don't you wanna live with me?
I'm lazy as a man can be!
I-I-I-I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Ooooh, don't you wanna save me
*cough*
I-I-I-I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Ooooh, don't you wanna save me
Lazy when I work, lazy on the bed
Screamin' all you like, but it only fades away
I'm lazy when I'm prayin', lazy on the job
Got a lazy mind, a lazy eye, a lazy lazy father
Hard men, hard lives
Hard keepin' it all inside
Good times, good God
I'm so lazy I almost stop!
*cough*
I-I-I-I'm wicked and I'm lazy
Ooooh, don't you wanna save me
I-I-I-I'm wicked and I'm lazy
