Telephone Thing Lyrics
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
How dare you assume I want to parlez-vous with you?
Sorry to be so short with you
But I'm tapped
But I'm tapped
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
The use of [..] and your smug advertisements
of your tendril ocean bed achievements does not
justify your abuse of privacy piracy act
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
I feel you Telephone Thing listening in
How dare you assume I want to parlez-vous with you?
You Gretchen Franklin nosey matron thing
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
Sense you
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
How dare you assume I want to parlez-vous with you?
You Gretchen Franklin nosey matron type
Does the Home Secretary have the barest faintest inkling of what's going down?
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
The use of [..] and your amug advertisements
Of your tendril ocean bed achievements does not justify your abuse of privacy piracy act
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
I do you Telephone Thing listening in
How dare you assume I want to parlez-vous with you
You Gretchen Franklin thing
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
Sense you
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
Sense you
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
How dare you assume I want to parlez-vous with you?
I'm tapped
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
I HEAR YOU TELEPHONE THING
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
How dare you assume I want to parlez-vous with you?
Sorry to be so short with you
But I'm tapped
But I'm tapped
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
The use of [..] and your smug advertisements
of your tendril ocean bed achievements does not
justify your abuse of privacy piracy act
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
I feel you Telephone Thing listening in
How dare you assume I want to parlez-vous with you?
You Gretchen Franklin nosey matron thing
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
Sense you
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
How dare you assume I want to parlez-vous with you?
You Gretchen Franklin nosey matron type
Does the Home Secretary have the barest faintest inkling of what's going down?
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
The use of [..] and your amug advertisements
Of your tendril ocean bed achievements does not justify your abuse of privacy piracy act
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
I do you Telephone Thing listening in
How dare you assume I want to parlez-vous with you
You Gretchen Franklin thing
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
Sense you
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
Sense you

How dare you assume I want to parlez-vous with you?
I'm tapped
I hear you Telephone Thing listening in
I HEAR YOU TELEPHONE THING

I don't know know anyone who likes this song.
Except me.
I certainly like this song. It seems he is expressing a phone paranoia, a paranoia of the interconnectedness it brings, and the lack of privacy with that. Perhaps about phones, or everything in general. In a sort of Luddite like way.
By the way the reference to Gretchen Franklin supposedly was an accident as quoted from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gretchen_Franklin#Trivia
"In Fall song 'Telephone Thing', Mark E Smith repeatedly asks 'How dare you assume I would want to parlez-vous with you? You Gretchen Franklin nosey matron type.' In an interview for the NME Mark E Smith revealed that he had thought he had made the name up and that it wasn't a reference to this Gretchen Franklin '
It seems she is a pretty prominent British actress. I wonder if it really was an accident or if he just said that to throw people off.
