Answer Machine

Me, I got your number
I looked it up under
‘D’ for ‘Don’t Know If You’ll Take That Call’
One hand on the dial
My resolve on trial
Beaten by a hang-up after all?
But I know just what I’m gonna say now if you pick up
But it’s your answer machine again
It’s just your answer machine
All anticipation
Ends up in frustration
The light is on, but there ain’t no-one home
This true disbeliever
Picks up the receiver
To face the mocking of the dial tone
But I know just what I’m gonna say now if you pick up
But it’s your answer machine again
It’s just your answer machine
You keep repeating
You keep repeating
The same old schtick that you don’t really mean
It’s like I’m talking
It’s like I’m talking
It’s like I’m talking to an answer machine

See You When I Get There
02:43

Kicking around our old home town
Our hallowed turf, our stomping ground
I know that your ghost will haunt these streets
Battered and bruised but never beat
I know that you're out there somewhere
Out there somewhere
Out there
See you when I get there, brother
Brother, you bet
I heard you put the world to rights
At the bar of the White Horse Inn last night
So when I got the word that you were gone
I thought that I must have heard them wrong
And that you'd be out there somewhere
Out there somewhere
Out there
See you when I get there, brother
Brother, you bet
They used to despair of you and me
Of how we'd get drunk and sing 'Stay Free'
Of how we'd be out there
See you when I get there, brother
Brother, you bet
