   Angela can't make it to the phone
   If you care to leave your name and number
   She'll give you a ring when she is home
   Every time I called her I got the message
   I listened to the voice coming down the line
   I couldn't speak to a tape recording
   I redialed it a number of times
  
   853-5937
   Angela can't make it to the phone
   If you care to leave your name and number
   Please speak clearly after the tone
   She'll give you a ring when she gets home
  
   I rang her this morning so very early
   The same old message coming down the phone
   I should go and see if her house is empty
   Maybe she's poorly perhaps she's not home
  
   She's in Mill Hill I'm in Bermondsey
   It's the end of the earth on the northern line
   It makes it so hard for me to see
   The one that I love but can never find.
  
   I called up a close friend who lives right by her
   I got the message he was out too
   I was suspicious, are they together
   I've got to find out that this isn't true
