Various Artists - Nobody Home lyrics

[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** 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 nobody 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 nobody home [Outro] I've got a pair of Gohills boots And I've got fading roots
