Call Me

Scribbled on the back of
a tatty old receipt
lay eleven dirty numbers
a combination to no sleep
a sleepless night of regret
were the digits all correct,
Ive got a god forsaken phone line
its been two days still no sign
tonight could be night
tonight could be night
A night in on my own,
I’m sitting by the phone
come on come on come on call me
you said you’d call me back
but I wont count on that no
come on come on come on call me
the landline was a bad shout
now im on house arrest
will i be a skeleton before you call to reveal your address
tonight could be night
tonight could be night
It could be the night
A night in on my own,
I’m sitting by the phone
come on come on come on call me
you said you’d call me back
but I wont count on that no
come on come on come on call me
Tonight im on my own
sitting by the phone
you said you’d call me back
but I wont count on that no
tonight could be night — come on come on come on call me
tonight could be night — come on come on come on call me
It could be the night
A night in on my own,
I’m sitting by the phone
come on come on come on call me
you said you’d call me back
but I wont count on that no
no
come on call me
