853-5937 Lyrics - Squeeze

(Difford/Tilbrook) 

853-5937 

Angela can't make it to the phone 

If you care to leave your name and number 

She'll give you a ring when she is home 

Every time I called her I got the message 

I listened to the voice coming down the line 

I couldn't speak to a tape recording 

I redialed it a number of times

853-5937 

Angela can't make it to the phone 

If you care to leave your name and number 

Please speak clearly after the tone 

She'll give you a ring when she gets home 

I rang her this morning so very early 

The same old message coming down the phone 

I should go and see if her house is empty 

Maybe she's poorly perhaps she's not home 

She's in Mill Hill I'm in Bermondsey 

It's the end of the earth on the northern line 

It makes it so hard for me to see 

The one that I love but can never find.

I called up a close friend who lives right by her 

I got the message he was out too 

I was suspicious, are they together 

I've got to find out that this isn't true
