Lyrics Call Me No. 5 - Paul Weller

Call Me No. 5

I dream’t I was falling
I never woke up
I dream’t of a warning
A yellow buttercup
I dream’t 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’m 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!
