Paul Weller, Kelly Jones - Call Me No.5 lyrics

I dreamt I was falling i never woke up
I dreamt of a warning a yellow buttercup

I dreamt of an old flame
Smoking cigarettes she was
Dancing in a night club with some other men

I was holding up a drugstore
My gun was soaking wet
From the barrel I was trapped in
That went tumbling over the edge
You can call me number 5
Please please, my my call me number 5
Call me number 5 that's why I'm still alive!

The barrel cracked up open
I was swimming for my breath
I knew I wouldn't make it
She watched me catch my death

So I switched on the tv
Saw me reading out the news
Another story of a plane crash
Another story of bad news

The tv cracked up open my baby boy came out
I was looking at my new wife
I ain't writing home about

You can call me number 5
Please please, my my
That's why i'am still alive!

I boxed around a sliver ring
With blood stains on my face
I cut the dog with yellow teeth
And drove his car away

You can call me number 5
Please please, my my call me number 5
Call me number 5 that's why I'm still alive!
