Deacon Blue - When Will You (Make My Telephone Ring) Lyrics






Pale blue eyes
Same old house no ties
A little bit older but not so
Worldly wise
That I can't see
Your light's on me
Making me regretfully say

The wonder of it all was you
And underneath it all it wasn't true

I want you in everything
In everything
In anything I do
When will you make my phone ring
And tell me I can't give you anything
Anything at all now

Tiny steps
From ruthless legs
When you've been walking so long
Now don't you rest
From disharmony
From disunity
From anything that isn't you and me

The wonder of it all was you
And underneath it all it wasn't true

I want you in everything
In everything
In anything I do
When will you make my phone ring
And tell me I can't give you anything
Anything at all now

Tired of chasing old dreams
Tired of wasting days
Tired of waking mornings
Just to wait for you till late
Tired of searching high
Tired of getting low
Tired of listening hard
Just to wait for you to know that

I want you in everything
In everything
In anything I do
When will you make my phone ring
And tell me I can't give you anything
Anything at all now

    The first time i heard this when it was in the top 40. I thought, wow wow wow. It’s an amazing song.

  28. S.... S....

    every time I hear it I can't help but sing the refrain at the top of my voice, with my eyes closed and with tears in my eyes ... thinking of my 1988 and my 15 years ..



    ogni volta che la sento non riesco a non cantare il ritornello a squarciagola, a occhi chiusi e con le lacrime agli occhi.... pensando al mio 1988 e ai miei 15 anni...

  29. D.... M....

    Esta canción es espectacular lastima que apenas hace unos pocos años que descubrí esta banda, porque ya saben soy latino, y por estos lados nos vendían la misma basura de los artistas mas conocidos, esta agrupación debió ser mas reconocida.

  70. T.... 1....

    one of my all time "sick in love" songs from my teens! I was seeing a girl who was 3 years younger than me at the time of this fantastic album, she used to babysit my brothers girlfriends daughter, so I would "babysit" with her & listen to deacon blue & the likes of Bobby Brown as well!! this song stuck out forever for me, my 1st love ended her life a couple of years ago,she was 41 ffs, a mother of 3, we went our separate ways & I beat myself up of how she ended up doing what she did, I loved her so much but she was too good for me, I always thought that, it wasn't until she died that her sister told me how much she was ashamed at how she had turned out, & that she was never going to be good enough for me, to hear that 20 odd years later truly crushed my heart & blew it to smitherines. I miss my beautiful 1st love so much.

    T.... 1....

    so sorry for your loss. Sending much love xxx

  71. S.... A....

    Best of the best @ Run Rig 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

  73. m.... w....

    Fan tasting song

    m.... w....

    Tastic I’m drunk to.

  74. T.... ....

    For disharmony for disunity . . . One of their best love the gospel choir love them and love this

  75. D.... C....

    Still fresh in 2018! Great song!

  76. S.... 5....

    They have a decent back catalogue, and I do like this song, but ever since I appeared on Going Live! Video Vote back in 89' and Ricky took the proverbial out of my picture that i'd sent in to Sarah Greene, i've always held a grudge against him and the band.

  77. J.... F....

    CLASS SONG

  78. N.... G....

    quite a few parts in this song are dead similiar to Senza Una Donna...still....really good nostalgic track...

  79. r.... a....

    good song from the 80's, but i disliked the backing vocals, the song would of been better without.

    r.... a....

    Londonbeat's singer

  80. A.... L....

    Temazo...

  81. S.... T....

    This and Del Amitri 'Driving with the brakes on' Pure class!!!

  82. S.... T....

    Who are the 47 C&nts??

  83. G.... ....

    Simply a Klassic.....

  84. C.... M....

    for me this is one of their very best songs yet it hardly ever gets any air time

    C.... M....

    That's a good thing.

  85. L.... A....

    One of the best bands out of Scotland for sure

  86. A.... D....

    A gem of a track.

  87. G.... C....

    Hermosa canción...

  88. K.... N....

    Now I know how my mom felt in the 80's listening to her songs from the 60's.

  89. J.... p....

    My favourite track of theirs by far 😀😀👍🏻👍🏻🤔❤️❤️

  90. G.... H....

    makes my heart slow down

  91. G.... M....

    class song

  92. T.... ....

    Man this brings back some memories.

  93. x.... D....

    So good that you convince yourself its a cover of a song you heard years ago...the genius of Ricky Ross and Deacon Blue

    awesome stuff

  94. V.... P....

    Me super encantaaaaa !!!!!

  95. C.... L....

    ♥️🎶

  96. v.... m....

    Growing older and wiser through the 80,s and 90's I thought of Deacon Blue as one of those second tier non super group types.
    30 years on I was clearly not growing older and wiser through the 80's and 90's.
    U2? Who?

  97. T.... J....

    I just farted

  98. M.... H....

    One of the finest love songs ever written
