[Intro] But theres somebody else that needs taking care of in Washington... Whos that? Rose Pilchitt! Rose Pilchitt? Whos that? Kid screams in background Shut up! 362436 Laughs does that answer your question? Oi! Ive got a little black book with me poems in! Whos she? She was Miss Armoured Division in 1961... [Verse 1 Roger Waters] Ive got a little black book with my poems in Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in When Im a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on Got those swollen hand blues Ive got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from Ive got electric light And Ive got second sight Ive got amazing powers of observation [Chorus 1 Roger Waters] And that is how I know When I try to get through On the telephone to you There will be nobody home [Verse 2 Roger Waters] Ive got the obligatory Hendrix perm And the inevitable pinhole burns All down the front of my favourite satin shirt Ive got nicotine stains on my fingers Ive got a silver spoon on a chain Ive got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains Ive got wild staring eyes And Ive got a strong urge to fly But Ive got nowhere to fly to Fly to... fly to... fly to... [Chorus 2 Roger Waters] Ooh, babe, when I pick up the phone Surprise, surprise, surprise... Theres still nobody home [Outro Roger Waters] Ive got a pair of Gohills boots And Ive got fading roots
