The Telephone Always Rings

(앨범: Fun Boy Three - 1982)

It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door
When you come home to answer your telephone

He who knocks is he that missed
The 'Don't Disturb' sign on the door
And he who called, is he that dropped
Invitations on the floor

Sitting down and switching on
The wooden box, the door is locked
Switching off the world outside
The party's over for the night

It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door
When you come home to answer your telephone

The telephone starts to ring, it rings
The 5-piece doorbell starts to chime
The liquid clock burst into song
It's out of tune, the timing's wrong

It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door
When you come home to answer your telephone

It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door
When you come home to answer your telephone

Lying down and soaking in
The bubble bath, the door is locked
Switching off the world outside
The party's over for the night

It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door
When you come home to answer your telephone

It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door
When you come home to answer your telephone

It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door
