lyrics
Time to start this work again
Moving out to see the end
Back in time to way back then
A simpler time for me my friend
Playing football in the park
Kicking round till it was dark
Some nights were long and boring
We didn’t have much to do
I want to go back
I need to go back
I want to go back
I need to go back
I want to go back
I need to go back
I want to go back
I need to go back
Going to call you up
Plug in the phone
Leave you a note if you’re not home
Ancient world of telephones
These simple times
Have come and gone
Going to call you up
Plug in the phone
Leave you a note if you’re not home
Ancient world of telephones
These simple times
Have come and gone
Did school reports with my mind
Jeeves the butler hadn’t got online
Handwritten letters
Shows that someone really cares
Last survivor from the analogue age
No digital needs to make my day
Or be an information source
For the CIA
I want to go back
I need to go back
I want to go back
I need to go back
I want to go back
I need to go back
I want to go back
I need to go back
Going to call you up
Plug in the phone
Leave you a note if you’re not home
Ancient world of telephones
These simple times
Have come and gone
Going to call you up
Plug in the phone
Leave you a note if you’re not home
Ancient world of telephones
These simple times
Have come and gone
The big bang in black or white
On the council air tonight
The satellite didn’t control
The transfer market overload
Flying into the unknown
Word of mouth or a salesman’s drone
Singing high and singing low
No levelling out from an auto tone
Going to call you up
Plug in the phone
Leave you a note if you’re not home
Ancient world of telephones
These simple times
Have come and gone
Going to call you up
Plug in the phone
Leave you a note if you’re not home
Ancient world of telephones
These simple times
Have come and gone
