Long Distance Lyrics - Kinks

Spent last winter playing in the sand 

With the prisoners of the motherland 

Damn hotel is feeling like a cell 

And even paradise can be so cruel 

Sitting by the swimming pool 

Trying to keep my head together 

In that hot Australia weather 

Three days to kill and my per diem's getting low 

'Cause I spent all my money calling long distance 

Calling long distance, such a long way from home

Am I talking to long distance, can you put me through? 

Twelve thousand miles but I've got not resistance, 

long distance, long distance, long distance, long distance 

Now the Road Hog's face is turning red 

Larry's still asleep in bed 

Romeo he can't get no head at all 

And the Doctor looks on so annoyed 

You disappoint me, Mr. Boyd 

And the Electric Dwarf wishes he was six foot tall 

Now Romeo's patience is wearing thin 

C'mon baby, let me in 

It's five a.m. and I've been creeping 'round the hall 

Got no resistance calling long distance 

You sound so close but your such a long way from home 

Am I talking to long distance, can you put me through? 

Twelve thousand miles but I've got not resistance, 

long distance, long distance, long distance, long distance 

Photos 

Still no points for my merrymen, 

Except Ricard, he just scored ten 

Now Road Hog's getting drunk again 

And I only get to hold my pen 

Instead of what I love to hold the most. 

I feel so lonesome I could cry 

Count the hours as they roll by 

It's day time now 

I think I'll make a call 

Hello long distance, calling long distance 

You sound so close but you're such a long way from home 

You're such a long way from home 

Have to admit I got no resistance to the red light on the wall 

The message said I got a call, 

long distance, long distance, long distance, long distance
