about

This is a modern version of a cheatin' song. No lipstick on the collar, no back door slammin', no strange brand of cigarette butts in the ashtray... No in the Twenty-First Century we are tracked by GPS and we have to watch out for those « pocket calls », when your cellphone makes a call without you even knowing. You can't stop progress, but you're cheatin' heart will still find you out someday.

lyrics

Verse 1
It was just another Pocket Call
But I can't get it out of my mind
Like when you're shopping at the mall
And you're coming through my telephone line
But that usually brings a smile and that's all
To get your pocket call

Verse 2
It was just another pocket call
I know it's just an everyday thing
Your in the laundromat or bathroom stall
And my telephone starts to ring
But the smile on my face turned to stone
When I picked up the telephone
And I heard somebody moan

(Disco / sound effects interval)

Bridge
I'd never think you wouldn't be true
But now I can't help worryin' 'bout me and you
You don't know how it made me feel
Listening in like a stranger was so unreal
I felt just like a fly on the wall
Hearing that pocket call.

Verse 1 repeat
It was just another Pocket Call
But I can't get it out of my mind
Like when you're shopping at the mall
And you're coming through my telephone line
But that usually brings a smile and that's all
To get your pocket call
It's just a pocket call.
