Telephone Thing

By The Fall

From the album Extricate, 1990

I hear you telephone thing listening in
I hear you telephone thing listening in

How dare you assume I want to parlez-vous with you?
Sorry to be so short with you
But I'm tapped, but I'm tapped

I hear you telephone thing listening in
I hear you telephone thing listening in

The use of [Unverified] and your smug advertisements
Of your tendril ocean bed achievements does not
Justify your abuse of privacy piracy act

I hear you telephone thing listening in
I feel you telephone thing listening in

How dare you assume I want to parlez-vous with you?
You Gretchen Franklin nosey matron thing

I hear you telephone thing listening in
Sense you
I hear you telephone thing listening in

How dare you assume I want to parlez-vous with you?
You Gretchen Franklin nosey matron type

Does the Home Secretary have the barest faintest inkling
Of what's going down?

I hear you telephone thing listening in
I hear you telephone thing listening in

The use of [Unverified] and your amug advertisements
Of your tendril ocean bed achievements does not
Justify your abuse of privacy piracy act

I hear you telephone thing listening in
I do you telephone thing listening in

How dare you assume I want to parlez-vous with you
You Gretchen Franklin thing

I hear you telephone thing listening in
Sense you
I hear you telephone thing listening in
Sense you

I hear you telephone thing listening in
I hear you telephone thing listening in
I hear you telephone thing listening in

How dare you assume I want to parlez-vous with you?
I'm tapped

I hear you telephone thing listening in
I hear you telephone
