Silent Telephone Lyrics
Suzy, where are you?
I was living just for loving just from you
Suzy, you used to lay me down
But the ragged wind blows me through the town
In and out the pubs with my cigarette,
My face don't receive me till my back gets wet
Have all my dreams come down to this?
Standing by a silent telephone, me and baker lite all alone
Now the city seems to be a hive of bees
I lost my chance dancing on my knees
The cops are making me look all around,
But my legs will always beat the ground
After we've packed up and the boys have all gone home,
My brain's still racing but my body's all alone.
Have all my dreams come down to this?
Standing by a silent telephone,
Me and baker lite all alone
Suzy, where are you?
I was living just for loving just from you
Suzy, you think I'm stepping out
But one look at my face will kill your doubts
Midnight on the clock and the door didn't knock,
The dawn begins to sing but my phone don't ring.
Have all my dreams come down to this?
Standing by a silent telephone, me and baker lite all alone
I was living just for loving just from you
Suzy, you used to lay me down
But the ragged wind blows me through the town
My face don't receive me till my back gets wet
Have all my dreams come down to this?
I lost my chance dancing on my knees
The cops are making me look all around,
But my legs will always beat the ground
My brain's still racing but my body's all alone.
Have all my dreams come down to this?
Me and baker lite all alone
I was living just for loving just from you
Suzy, you think I'm stepping out
But one look at my face will kill your doubts
The dawn begins to sing but my phone don't ring.
Have all my dreams come down to this?

Joe is singing about a piece of plastic, ie, Bakelite or baker lite. The phone is made of Bakelite. “My face don't receive me till my back gets wet” refers to the telephone itself being pulled from the receiver and out of the phone box and into the rain: the message isn’t received before the phone gets wet! It’s amazing how much you can extrapolate from an episode of Modern Marvels about the history of plastic on the discovery channel ????
