Lindsay Cooper - Exchange lyrics



A petal for a paragraph
Is as near as I can guess
I am picking out the nettles
For a stringing retribution
To telex up to heaven
As I know his line is foulty
And otherwise engaged
He always calls long distance
When communing with his sons
On the latest state of play

So I called the operator
She said I must be mad
She had cut the lines to heaven
Two thousand years ago

She said:
Their coin box was full of stolen gold
And then they started mailing
This really neat edition
Of the yellow page directory
Full of gift-edged thoughts
In gold leaf prose

She said:
They burn quite brightly
And keep her switchboard hot

I thought I’d keep the nettles
And make a little wine
And she said she’d call around
When she’d finished disconnecting
A multi-national’s line

With a petal and a paragraph
For a nice drink of wine
Songs list of album: Music for Other Occasions (1985)
