Artist/Band: The Kinks
Lyrics for Song: Long Distance
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - The 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 you're 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



Have to admit, I got no resistance to the red light on the wall

The message said I got a call

Long distance, long distance, long distance, long distance
