Do You Need The Service? — Gary Numan

Do you need the service? Do you need to call me daily? Do you have reasons for calling at all?

Is something on your mind? Is something wrong? i get the feeling That you're laughing at my quiet surprise

My silhouette is changing As i'm aging by your window And i focus on a light by your face

Call me `the operator' Making comments "he's so technical" Or "i've absolutely nothing to do"

Recycle all my photographs I'll leave a picture of the queen And no one has to know i was there

Me, i'm so ashamed You're all connected to my number And the conversation's only polite

I'll wear my old grey raincoat Just in case you're `confidential' Make up stories like "the screen fades away"

Today it's in a taxi By the station, and it's raining And i wonder how they all made it before
