While You Were Out - Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine

While you were out

Spreading the gospel

According to whatever

You believed in at the time

Her Majesty’s axeman cameth

And closed the hospital

The birthplace

Of our bonny baby son

Yesterday they took away

Our bus stop

Today they’ll try and take

Our happy home

Tomorrow I’ll be burned as a witch

For playing punk rock

You picked a fine time

To leave me on my own

I know

That what you don’t know

Doesn’t hurt you

And the only time

You get homesick’s

When you’re home

But while you were out

Our whole future was in doubt

So get your finger out

And phone

Please phone

While joyriders filmed by Sky

Ram and raid and drink and drive

Homicidal passers by

Leave unattended bags

Outside our home

While you were out

Our whole future was in doubt

You better get your finger out

Phone!

It’s simple

Lift the receiver,

Listen for the dialing tone

When you here that dialing tone

Pick a number, any number,

My number, dial that number

Speak to me!

Please phone
