PHONE CALL

(P. Assirati)

Was written during the making of the album, I played it to the guys live and we cleaned it up. When Rob (Harrison, the engineer) was sorting the eq on the vocals, I heard it sounding briefly like the vocal was being phoned in, without saying anything Dave ‘Speedoo’ Earl called me outside and said “The vocals should…” “sound like a phone call” I interrupted. It gave the whole thing a rainy late night cinematic feel.

 

Say you’ll stay, don’t take your heart away
‘Cause I’ve been ‘round and I’ve been down and
I’ve had my share of not being found so
Say you’ll stay

Say you’ll be someone meant for me
I’ve seen people leave their ghost to me
But I still believe that you could love me so
Say you’ll be

Say you’ll stay, don’t let it fade away
I was out of road, I was out of room and
I turned and suddenly there was you so
Say you’ll stay
