Paul Weller Call Me No.5 lyrics

I dreamt I was falling
I never woke up
I dreamt of a warning
A yellow buttercup

I dreamt 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 no. 5
Please please, my my
Call me no. 5
Call me no. 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 no. 5
Please please, my my
Call me no. 5
Call me no. 5
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

Please please, my my
Call me no. 5
Call me no. 5
That's why I'm still alive

That's why I'm still alive
That's why I'm still alive
