The Art of Telemarketing

by Stone Ruin

supported by

Cara The Art of Telemarketing is a real throwback to a completely different era of music, and a compelling track from the young Rotherham band - pre-empting more mainstream forays into the era which came in late 2020/2021.

These guys are genuinely talented, and worth supporting

lyrics

I’m the days you can’t forget and the nights that you regret
As you gaze into the mirror hoping to see somebody else
I tell you for certain that it isn’t ever real unless it hurts
And in love and sex the more you try the less it works

We both know innocence is something that you lose
But it’s cut away all on it’s own and you seldom get to choose
The knife to pierce your skin, the cradle that you’re held in
Whatever loser takes you in.

I don’t wanna stay under the light
But it’s too cold to fall into place tonight
Is this just the hard way - to get right
Call me when you’re okay
Call me when you’re home

Will your carbonated water- help to wash the taste back down
As you click off the screen like it didn’t mean anything
But she follows you into bed in your dreams and in your head
In a corner of your memories like a dog on a leash
Barking until you can’t sleep

Cause you think that love
Is something that you give but can’t take
That you can see but can’t quite escape
And the only heart that won’t fade is on-demand
But it’s not your fault
The joke’s on you you got caught
You never thought you could feel so small
And yet here you are- dick in hand in a cubicle stall

I tried to explain
That I can never contain
And I just can’t quit this
Proxy-love emancipated
And it’s hard to say
Just why I came
All I know is I’m not the only one
