Long Distance - Kinks

Spent last winter playing in the sand 
With the prisoners of the motherland 
Damn hotel is feeling like a cell 

And even paradise can be so cruel 
Sitting by the swimming pool 
Trying to keep my head together 
In that hot Australia weather 

Three days to kill and my per diem's getting low 
Cause I spent all my money calling long distance 
Calling long distance, such a long way from home 

Am I talking to long distance, can you put me through? 
Twelve thousand miles but I've got not resistance, 
Long distance, long distance, long distance, long distance 

Now the Road Hog's face is turning red 
Larry's still asleep in bed 
Romeo he can't get no head at all 
And the Doctor looks on so annoyed 
You disappoint me, Mr. Boyd 
And the Electric Dwarf wishes he was six foot tall 

Now Romeo's patience is wearing thin 
C'mon baby, let me in 
It's five a.m. and I've been creeping 'round the hall 
Got no resistance calling long distance 
You sound so close but your such a long way from home 

Am I talking to long distance, can you put me through? 
Twelve thousand miles but I've got not resistance, 
Long distance, long distance, long distance, long distance 

Still no points for my merrymen, 
Except Ricard, he just scored ten 
Now Road Hog's getting drunk again 
And I only get to hold my pen 
Instead of what I love to hold the most. 

I feel so lonesome I could cry 
Count the hours as they roll by 
It's day time now 
I think I'll make a call 

Hello long distance, calling long distance 
You sound so close but you're such a long way from home 
You're such a long way from home
