The rock'n'roll B-side to 'Howl', the first single released from 'MOTEL'.
lyrics
My baby don't return my calls
No, he don't call me back no more (don't call me back no more)
Mornin', noon and evening time, just wanna make sure he's alright,
But, he don't pick up that phone (don't pick up that, aah)
I don't know what I'm to do,
With this little love I have for you
Tell me, baby, what are you up to?
Tell me, honey, why can't I get through? (Why can't I get through)
All I do is wait around, I feel so lonesome in this house
I'm fed up waiting up for you
While you're out misbehaving,
I'm sitting all alone just craving some of your time
Whoa, my baby don't pick up that phone
Always hear that ringing tone (always hear that ringin' tone)
Only call ten times a day
Why does he treat me this way?
Oh, I just can't let him go (just can't let him go)
I know what I've got to do,
But it doesn't make it easy when I love you,
Don't care if you dare call me a fool,
I'll keep trying to get on through to you.

Emilee South plays commanding and fervent rock music. Combining the raw edge of punk with the driving force of rock, South
shouts unapologetically over chaotic guitar riffs and charging rhythms to themes of capitalism, feminism, privilege, and the power of community. With influences ranging from Grinderman and IDLES to Sharon Van Etten, the band go from from urgent hooks to unyielding power....more

Thank you very much. I hadn’t heard of you until Henry Wagons played your version of Dancing in the Dark. I can finally understand the lyrics now I’m hearing it in Aussie lingo. I love your take on it too.
Keep making music! petrosinoz
