Kinks - Long Distance Lyrics
Spent last winter playing in the sandWith the prisoners of the motherlandDamn hotel is feeling like a cellAnd even paradise can be so cruelSitting by the swimming poolTrying to keep my head togetherIn that hot australia weatherThree days to kill and my per diems getting lowcause I spent all my money calling long distanceCalling long distance, such a long way from homeAm I talking to long distance, can you put me through?Twelve thousand miles but Ive got not resistance,Long distance, long distance, long distance, long distanceNow the road hogs face is turning redLarrys still asleep in bedRomeo he cant get no head at allAnd the doctor looks on so annoyedYou disappoint me, mr. boydAnd the electric dwarf wishes he was six foot tallNow romeos patience is wearing thinCmon baby, let me inIts five a.m. and Ive been creeping round the hallGot no resistance calling long distanceYou sound so close but your such a long way from homeAm I talking to long distance, can you put me through?Twelve thousand miles but Ive got not resistance,Long distance, long distance, long distance, long distanceStill no points for my merrymen,Except ricard, he just scored tenNow road hogs getting drunk againAnd I only get to hold my penInstead of what I love to hold the most.I feel so lonesome I could cryCount the hours as they roll byIts day time nowI think Ill make a callHello long distance, calling long distanceYou sound so close but youre such a long way from homeYoure such a long way from homeHave to admit I got no resistance to the red light on the wallThe message said I got a call,Long distance, long distance, long distance, long distance
