While you were out\\
spreading the gospel\\
according to whatever\\
yoy believed in at the time\\
Her Majesty's axeman cameth\\
and closed the hospital\\
The birthplace\\
of our bonny baby son\\
\\
Yesterday they took away\\
our bus stop\\
Today they'll try and take\\
our happy home\\
Tomorrow I'll be burned as a witch\\
for playing punk rock\\
You picked a fine time\\
to leave me on my own\\
\\
I know\\
that what you don't know\\
doesn't hurt you\\
And the only time\\
you get homesick's\\
when you're home\\
But while you were out\\
our whole future was in doubt\\
So get your finger out\\
and phone\\
\\
Please phone\\
\\
While joyriders filmed by Sky\\
ram and raid and drink and drive\\
Homicidal passers by\\
leave unattended bags\\
outside our home\\
While you were out\\
our whole future was in doubt\\
You better get your finger out\\
PHONE!\\
\\
It's simple\\
lift the receiver,\\
listen for the dialing tone\\
when you here that dialing tone\\
pick a number, any number,\\
my number, dial that number\\
SPEAK TO ME!\\
\\
Please phone \\
