Telephone Thing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
How dare you assume I want to parlez-vous with you?
Sorry to be so short with you
But I'm tapped
But I'm tapped
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
The use of [..] and your smug advertisements
of your tendril ocean bed achievements does not
justify your abuse of privacy piracy act
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
I feel you Telephone Thing listening in
How dare you assume I want to parlez-vous with you?
You Gretchen Franklin nosey matron thing
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
Sense you
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
How dare you assume I want to parlez-vous with you?
You Gretchen Franklin nosey matron type
Does the Home Secretary have the barest faintest
inkling of what's going down?
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
The use of [..] and your amug advertisements
Of your tendril ocean bed achievements does not
justify your abuse of privacy piracy act
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
I do you Telephone Thing listening in
How dare you assume I want to parlez-vous with you
You Gretchen Franklin thing
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
Sense you
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
Sense you
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
How dare you assume I want to parlez-vous with you?
I'm tapped
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
