[Intro] [acoustic guitar strumming, steady kick drum] [Verse 1] [baritone male vocals] He swung the door at six Boots wet on the floor Parked himself by the window Phone on the charger shore He tapped it once, then twice Like it owed him gold The screen stayed black as soot And his face went cold He shook the lead, he cursed the wall He looked at the bar keep's grin One red light on the socket Then it vanished in [Chorus] [group shouted vocals, fiddle enters] Hey! Dead phone, dead phone, not one spark, not one Dead phone, dead phone, now the fire has begun He slammed the table hard like the world had crossed him wrong Dead phone, dead phone And the whole pub sang along [Fiddle Solo] [fast melodic fiddle lines, driving percussion] [Verse 2] He'd barely had a pint When the temper hit the roof He jabbed at every plug Like it had to prove The cable bent, the bottle jumped Coins rattled in a tray He muttered through his teeth "There's some curse on me today" He leaned in close to check The socket in the wall And when it still said nothing He took it all apart [Chorus] [group shouted vocals] Hey! Dead phone, dead phone, not one spark, not one Dead phone, dead phone, now the fire has begun He slammed the table hard like the world had crossed him wrong Dead phone, dead phone And the whole pub sang along [Fiddle Solo] [syncopated fiddle riffs, acoustic guitar rhythm] [Bridge] [drums drop out, soft acoustic guitar] Then Old Mick laughed and said "Son, you've had your fill" The barkeep found the switch And gave the charger will A tiny light came back Soft as dawn through rain He sat down red-faced, breathless And ordered one again [Chorus] [full band, high energy] Hey! Dead phone, dead phone, not one spark, not one Dead phone, dead phone, but the worst of it is done He held it like a saint Then laughed at what he'd done Dead phone, dead phone And the whole pub sang along [Outro] [fiddle melody, fading acoustic guitar] (Oh-oh-oh-oh) [final kick drum hit]
