Squeeze - 853-5937 lyrics

(difford/tilbrook) 853-5937 Angela can't make it to the phone If you care to leave your name and number She'll give you a ring when she is home Every time i called her i got the message I listened to the voice coming down the line I couldn't speak to a tape recording I redialed it a number of times 853-5937 Angela can't make it to the phone If you care to leave your name and number Please speak clearly after the tone She'll give you a ring when she gets home I rang her this morning so very early The same old message coming down the phone I should go and see if her house is empty Maybe she's poorly perhaps she's not home She's in mill hill i'm in bermondsey It's the end of the earth on the northern line It makes it so hard for me to see The one that i love but can never find. I called up a close friend who lives right by her I got the message he was out too I was suspicious, are they together I've got to find out that this isn't true (c) 1987 virgin music inc. (ascap)
