Pulp – Ansaphone lyrics

Oh I know I don't own you
but I don't even know if I should phone you
Someone sendingme 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
Ohit just kills me
when all you've got to do is call
Oh do it any time
'cause there'snever no-one home
never no-one home
Leave your message on the ansaphone
I'm nottrying to be clever
but at least we're not still living together
All those calls inthe evening
if I answered they'd hang up without speaking
And they
bored you
But I
don't want to 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
'causethere's never no-one home
never no-one home
Leave your message on the ansaphone /[Beep!]
"Hello, its me. I just wanted to call and say it doesn't matter what youget up to. I just want you to stay in touch. That's all."
Are you really not athome?

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 mejust to hear you
You said you'd be here by ten thirty
but you want to stay out and bedirty
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 theansaphone. o-one home
never no-one home
Leave your message on the ansaphone.
