Ansaphone - Pulp

Oh I know I don’t own you / but I don’t even know if I should phone you /

Someone sending

me letters / saying you’ve been going with other fellers / And they / bored you

/ But I /

don’t wanna cry / or talk for hours / to a machine / on the end / of a telephone line / Oh it just kills me / when all you’ve got to do is call / Oh do it any time /

'cause there’s

never no-one home / never no-one home / Leave your message on the ansaphone /

I’m not

trying to be clever / but at least we’re not still living together / All those

calls in the evening / if I answered they’d hang up without speaking / And they / bored

you / But I there’s never no-one home / never no-one home / Leave your message on the

ansaphone /

/ 'Hello, its me.

I just wanted to call and say it doesn’t matter what you

get up to.

I just want you to stay in touch.

That’s all.'/ Are you really not at home?

/ Or are you there but not alone?

/ Screening calls / you don’t want to receive /

meaning calls / calls that come from me / Oh I / need to see you / It’s not

enough for me just to hear you / You said you’d be here by ten thirty / but you want to stay

out and be dirty / Oh it just kills me / when all you’ve got to do is call / Oh do it any

time /

'cause there’s never no-one home / never no-one home / Leave your message on the

ansaphone.
