[Phone ringtones FX] Distorted voice: Hello Darling you fine? [Verse 1] They’re glued to the screen, can’t put it down, Phone in hand, they’re king of the town. Talking to Mum, chatting with Sue, Wait, was that Dave or maybe it’s Lou? Ring, ring, beep beep, message on the way, Another convo for the hundredth time today. Can’t even hear when I say hello, Cause they’re stuck in that mobile glow! [Chorus] Oh, they’re always on the line, Never got the time to say they’re mine. Every ring-a-ding-ding’s a brand new chat, Can’t even tell me where their head’s at! Beep-beep, boop-boop, the phone’s divine, I’m just a number, they’re always on the line! [Verse 2] Ordered a pizza, but can’t find their card, Too busy scrolling, it’s really not hard! “Hang on a sec, let me call you back,” Yeah right, still waiting, lost track of the snack. Even Siri’s tired of hearing their voice, I think the phone's starting to lose its choice! “Can’t you put it down, just once, my dear?” “Shh, I’m busy. No, not you, Steve’s here!” [Chorus] Oh, they’re always on the line, Never got the time to call me mine. Every ring-a-ding-ding’s a brand new quest, Can’t even give that phone a rest! Boop-boop, beep-beep, it’s a sure sign, I’m stuck in voicemail, they’re always on the line! [Bridge] Oh, what’s the secret password to get through? Morse code? Semaphore? Do I need a clue? Carrier pigeons would be faster, I think, Before they’ve replied, I’m gone in a blink! [Chorus] Oh, they’re always on the line, I’ve tried texting, but even that’s declined! Every buzz and ping just passes me by, Guess I’m the one left asking “why?” Beep-beep, boop-boop, it’s the grand design, Can’t escape it, they’re always on the line! [Outro - repeat] So if you see them with their phone in hand, Just wave, don’t speak, they won’t understand. ‘Cause they’re living in a ringtone trance, With me just waiting for a chance... To say goodbye to the engaged tone- But guess what? Yep, they’re always on the line! But guess what? Yep, they’re always on the line! [phone FX]
