lyrics

The institution presented me
With an opportunity
Gonna look great on my CV
And I'll make lots of money.

Desk with a phone,
Computer screen glowing
Polystyrene above me
The calls are scripted, but I lose the plot
My minds not really on the job.

Clicking dial all the live long day
If only the call sheet sent your name my way
We might feel that familiar change
Never be the same again
Never be the same

The software helps us to break away
The software helps us to break away
The software helps us to break away
Oh it helps us to break

I speak to astrophysicists
Architects too
Little old ladies
Rare as it is
But I only want to talk to you

At the end of every shift
I visit a sad dance hall
Just a hoping to see you there
Because it seems I'm always talking
Into machines after every call

Lovesick haven't seen you in a week
Got to call you up, got to hear you speak
I cut Cupid a deal it'll be just fine
He'll send his arrow down the telephone line
He said he'll send his arrow down the telephone line

The software helps us to break away
The software helps us to break away
The software helps us to break away
Oh it helps us to break

Say good evening, morning or afternoon,
Depending on the time of day
My name is a dotted line
I'm going to try to find the words to say

This is a cold call
(Say good evening)
Yes that is an aspect
(Morning or afternoon)
It won't cost much at all
Please don't hang up yet

Yes this is a cold call
(Depending on the time of day)
Yes that is an aspect
(My name is a dotted line)
It won't cost much at all
(I'm going to try to find the words)
Please don't hang up yet
(To say)
