Long Distance — текст песни (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 diems 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 Ive got not resistance,

Long distance, long distance, long distance, long distance



Now the road hogs face is turning red

Larrys still asleep in bed

Romeo he cant 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 romeos patience is wearing thin

Cmon baby, let me in

Its five a.m. and Ive 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 Ive got not resistance,

Long distance, long distance, long distance, long distance



Still no points for my merrymen,

Except ricard, he just scored ten

Now road hogs 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

Its day time now

I think Ill make a call



Hello long distance, calling long distance

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

Youre 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
