luther wright & the wrongs - nobody home lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
“but there’s somebody else that needs taking care of in washington..”
“who’s that?”
“rose pilchitt!”
“rose pilchitt? who’s that?”
(kid screams in background)
(shut up!)
“36-24-36 (laughter) does that answer your question?”
(oi! i’ve got a little black book with me poems in!)
“who’s she?”
“she was ‘miss armoured division’ in 1961… ”

[verse 1]
i’ve got a little black book with my poems in
got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in
when i’m a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in
i got elastic bands keeping my shoes on
got those swollen hand blues
i’ve got thirteen channels of sh-t on the t.v. to choose from
i’ve got electric light
and i’ve got second sight
i’ve got amazing powers of observation

[chorus 1]
and that is how i know
when i try to get through
on the telephone to you
there will be n0body home

[verse 2]
i’ve got the obligatory hendrix perm
and the inevitable pinhole burns
all down the front of my favourite satin shirt
i’ve got nicotine stains on my fingers
i’ve got a silver spoon on a chain
i’ve got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains
i’ve got wild staring eyes
and i’ve got a strong urge to fly
but i’ve got nowhere to fly to (fly to.. fly to.. fly to..)

[chorus 2]
ooooh babe when i pick up the phone
(“surprise, surprise surprise…”)
there’s still n0body home

[outro]
i’ve got a pair of gohills boots
and i’ve got fading roots
