Saint Etienne - He's On The Phone Lyrics






He's on the phone and she wants to go home
Shoes in hand, don't make a sound, it's time to go
Ooh-ooh, someday (someday), someday

He's on the phone, doesn't want to go home
The hotel life, forget your wife, you're on your own
Academia girl, her life's a gas, she loves the trash inside his world
Can't find his way there, got the cash, feeling flash in Leicester Square, ooh

Yes, she never meant to call, she did anyway
And now he's trying to find the words to say
Someday (someday), someday (someday)
Yes, she never meant to call, she did anyway
And now he's trying to find the words to say
Someday (someday), someday (someday)

It's five to twelve and she's nervous as hell
With nothing to lose, it's hard to choose, it's hard to tell
Skin is dewdrop and warm
The lipstick kiss, reminisce, awake 'til dawn, ooh

Yes, she never meant to call, she did anyway
And now he's trying to find the words to say
Someday (someday), someday (someday)
Yes, she never meant to call, she did anyway
And now he's trying to find the words to say
Someday (someday), someday (someday)

Et c'est alors que supposement blesse par le commun des mortels
Je resurrecte encore et encore, je resurrecte encore et encore

He's on the phone and she wants to go home
Shoes in hand, don't make a sound, it's time to go

Yes, she never meant to call, she did anyway
And now he's trying to find the words to say
Someday (someday), someday (someday)
Yes, she never meant to call, she did anyway
And now he's trying to find the words to say
Someday (someday), someday (someday), someday

Saint Etienne He's On The Phone Comments
  1. M.... O....

    Still best ever. 2020...

  2. C.... B....

    Very underrated tune.

  3. J.... L....

    I've seen them live twice and thy did this song the first time. They are just so good....

  4. S.... S....

    back when girls were beautiful, not mixed

  5. E.... E....

    It is a cover of week end à rome from etienne daho...?

    E.... E....

    I said nothing...i can see him

  6. M.... A....

    For fans of cool shit.

    The sauve man speaking on the phone at 2:50 is the French synth-pop artist Etienne Daho.

    This song is based on the melody of his 1984 track Weekend à Rome.

  7. I.... B....

    Call a taxi!!

  8. A.... M....

    Before the world went mad RIP music x

  9. R.... P....

    Weak song

  10. M.... N....

    This makes me feel old, had a crush on Sarah back in the day

  11. W.... S....

    Got fingered for the first time, with this song on in local disco, the good olde days

    W.... S....

    Ooh. Too much information! 😂

    W.... S....

    Was it in my disco? I think there was a fair bit of that going on🕺🏼👉🏻👏

    W.... S....

    Hope you wiped first

  12. p.... ....

    I'm Luke, I'm five and my Dad's Bruce Lee, drives me round in his JCB.

  13. M.... B....

    i`m not on the phone, i don`t have one!!!!!!

  14. S.... M....

    this is bad

  15. J.... M....

    Just stumbled on this! Forgot about it...but what a great song. Memories coming back x

  16. E.... G....

    She's lovely but the song is awful.

  17. S.... C....

    I can't get my head round this band, they seem incredibly silly, safe and banal one minute, then charming, attractive and fun the next. They are so upper middle class London. Maybe that's it. Not all good music is rock and roll rebellion. Or maybe they are just privileged twats. What would Paul Weller say? Felling confused.

  18. C.... C....

    Some 2016 saw the chanteuse and found an all zeit time goodness classiceiaiiiiiiii jeda belief................ Best 2 u...... Sum.................

  19. j.... a....

    this song could do with a remix. something a bit harder, with some frenetically moving leading lady up front

  20. P.... W....

    Love this song

  21. M.... L....

    Love miusic

  22. J.... G....

    Britpop meets Etienne Daho, who himself was influenced by 60's and 70's British Pop. Full circle.

  23. J.... P....

    First heard this on an MTV show where they performed live. Was called "Most Wanted". Great track

  24. c.... n....

    Don't make feel happy n free tunes like this anymore n just takes me back to 1995/1996 two of my best childhood years 😎

    c.... n....

    I remember this being played repeatedly at a party. Brilliant.

  25. b.... ....

    Amazing stuff. Very uplifting and euphoric.

  26. C.... O....

    Crazy eyes

  27. K.... H....

    So tough, to hear this and think can't think of anything of todays trite garbage to come close to this dance indie gem. Sarah Cracknel you are gorgeous. Sod it I'm off to tiger Bay to recoup

  28. G.... E....

    To była muza!👍

  29. D.... P....

    Not heard for ages then bang it was on absolute 90s

  30. C.... ....

    When was this out?…97-98?

  31. A.... B....

    Bloody hell Sarah’s Gorgeous

  32. n.... m....

    Someday, Someday, Yes!

  33. T.... ....

    Oooh Sarah you could sing me to sleep hun

  34. d.... s....

    Where was i when this gem was released ?

  35. S.... O....

    One of the best tracks on the 'in the mix 96' CD. Happiest days of my life.

  36. S.... O....

    I miss that world more than I can really say. No radical islam. No Brexit. No zero hours contracts. Hope. Love. Unity.

    What the hell did we allow to be stolen from us..

    S.... O....

    Tories....

    S.... O....

    Lol - go and tell the Soviets about your days of 'no radical Islams'.

    S.... O....

    @VideoLad Yes. Those famous Soviets of the 1990's.

    S.... O....

    Something about rose-tinted spectacles and you maybe not being as young as you used to be. The Tories had been in power for 16 years when this song came out...

    S.... O....

    Internet stole the whole thing and we agreed

  37. m.... ....

    It's mad how they put adverts up on here of shit singers when all you want to do is watch some decent music......

  38. J.... T....

    fucking love this song

  39. R.... W....

    Had this tune blasting out my Ford escort xr3i thought I was the nuts lol great times

    R.... W....

    c.... ....

    c.... ....

    @John Smith it hard when you don't know much of the lyrics.... there is another one from 90s pr early 00s a lady with a voice similar to hers and says soemthing like (day by day) and there is a guy who sounds like Scatman who occassonaly a word twice sounds something like "opipero"

    c.... ....

  44. D.... M....

  58. b.... ....

    Being a hot chick is not yet enough to have career as a "singer"

  59. s.... ....

    I used to listen to this song on repeat for months. My friends ended up hating it. I would beg them to allow me to play it one more time.

  60. P.... D....

    A very memorable slice of melodic pop, which never seems to age.

  61. P.... J....

    The music today is bloody awful in comparison .... isn't it ? Or did I just get old ?

    P.... J....

    No - the music today is shite

  62. E.... C....

    90s classic

  63. m.... ....

    This song reminds me i was once cool driving around in my old Orion Ghia blasting this. Oh yes, i was a catch back then ;-)

  70. J.... E....

    Brilliant track! What actually happened to good music ❓❓❓🤔

  71. P.... K....

    Magic song

  72. S.... P....

    Reminds me of summer and driving around with my partner in his white mg midget with roof down in the country side.

  73. M.... M....

    I want this song played at my funeral. It has become such a part of my life that I might as well have it in death. Pure disco heaven.

  74. g.... g....

    Magaluf party tune

  75. T.... A....

    tema con el que se cerraba cada fin de semana sala metro

  76. t.... ....

    Pure class!

  77. A.... A....

    If Dubstar, Deuce and Blondie collaborated this would be it lol.

  78. J.... M....

    This song reminds me of my youth... I miss being young

    J.... M....

    Jamie McGowan we all do my friend

    Sarah cracknell pinup of indie music enough said

  89. S.... P....

    She actually has similarities to Holly Willoughby! Two very naturally pretty women.

  90. D.... F....

    It'a a cover of Etienne Daho's Week End à Rome.

    D.... F....

    I never knew this was a cover- I've now listened to the original and like both, for different reasons. It isn't a direct cover version, more the melody has been reworked with English lyrics added. I learned something new today, thanks.

  91. A.... F....

    St what's her face are into their Xmas songs

  92. J.... R....
