The Telephone Always Rings Songtext
von Fun Boy Three & Bananarama

(Hello?)

It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door
When you come home to answer your telephone

He who knocks is he that missed
The ′Don't Disturb′ sign on the door
And he who call this, he that dropped
Invitations on the floor
Sitting down and switching on
The wooden box, the door is locked
Switching off the world outside
The party's over for the night

It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door
When you come home to answer your telephone


The telephone starts to ring, it rings
The five-piece doorbell starts to chime
The liquid clock burst into song
It's out of tune, the timing′s wrong

It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door
When you come home to answer your telephone

It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door
When you come home to answer your telephone

Lying down and soaking in
The bubble bath, the door is locked
Switching off the world outside
The party′s over for the night

It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door
When you come home to answer your telephone


It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door
When you come home to answer your telephone

It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door
