2-6-5-8-0 Lyrics

I watch a man sitting down by the park:
the flashy suit manufactured by the makers.
He's got a pen and he circles an ad.
It makes him laugh 'cause he's reading dirty papers.

2-6-5-8-0

She doesn't know it but she's getting his call
He's too constrained but he wants it in a strange way.
She comes her hair; doesn't worry at all.
He could be mad but he's just another payday.

2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
Oh, dial it if you want to know me.

She likes to live on the poor side of town.
She's shacking down with a guy West Guiana.
The boys around always look at the ground.
Oh, what they'd give for a night with that piranha.

2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
Oh, dial it if you want to know me.

She doesn't have to make her money that way, she's such a pretty young girl.
I guess they love it 'cause you hear when they stay, they're crying, "Oh, oh, oh."

This guy arrives looking scared as a rat.
He needs her love but he wants it like a brother.
Three hours later he crawls out on his knees.
She's laughing loud 'cause he's calling for his mother.

2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
Oh, dial if you want to know me.

2-6-5-8-0
(What's the number?)
2-6-5-8-0
(Oh, I gotta get it, now.)
2-6-5-8-0
Oh, dial it if you want to know me.

Cover art for 2-6-5-8-0 lyrics by Kim Wilde

The great thing about Kim Wilde is that her and her band were mixing ska and reggae with new wave way before the whole ska craze. 1984 or 85? I don't remember but this is a GREAT song. I couldn't believe there weren't other KW songs on here. Oh yeah, this song is about a call girl. duh.
