" Nobody Home -- " Pink Floyd

"Alright, I'll take care of them part of the time, but there's somebody else that needs taking care of in Washington""Who's that?"
"Rose Pilchitt!" "Rose Pilchitt? Who's that?"
[Kid screams in background. foreground: "Shut Up!"]
"36-24-36 [laughter] does that answer your question?"
[foreground: "Oi! I've got a little black book with me poems in!"]
"Who's she?" "She was 'Miss Armoured Division' in 1961 ... "

I've got a little black book with my poems in.Got a bag, with a toothbrush and a comb in, When I'm a good dog, they sometimes throw me a bone in. I got elastic bands keepin my shoes on.
Got those swollen hand blues. I Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from. I've got electric light And I got second sight.
Got amazing powers of observation. And that is how I know
When I try to get through  On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home.

I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm. And the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favorite satin shirt I got nicotine stains on my fingers. I got a silver spoon on a chain. Got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains.

I got wild staring eyes. And I got a strong urge to fly.
But I got nowhere to fly to.  Babe when I pick up the phone
"Surprise, surprise, surprise..There's still nobody home.
I've got a pair of Gohills boots and I got fading roots.    (sing365)


This is a sad song about being estranged and isolated. Nobody is there when you pick up the phone to talk to them. It could be a friend, or a boyfriend/girlfriend. (songfacts)
