He’s on the phone. Saint Etienne. Vídeo, letra e información.

He’s on the phone pasa por ser uno de los mejores temas de Saint Etienne -no en vano alcanzó el puesto 11 en la lista de singles británicos- y, de hecho, basta empezar a escuchar la melodía para sentir que el cuerpo se mueve solo y se baila al ritmo suave y alegre, un poco pop, un poco indie y algo electrónico tan ochentero y tan de Saint Etienne.

Bob Stanley y Peter Wiggs eran dos periodistas musicales que soñaban Saint Etienne en un barrio de Londres, un sueño que se hizo realidad con Sarah Crackwell poniendo voz.

He’s on the phone, and she wants to go home;
shoes in hand, don’t make a sound, it’s time to go.

(Ooh-ooh)
Someday (someday), someday.

He’s on the phone, doesn’t want to go home.
The hotel life – forget your wife, you’re on your own.
Academia girl;
her life’s a gas, she loves the trash inside his world.
Can’t find his way there,
got the cash,  feeling flash in Leicester Square.

(Ooh-ooh)
Yes.
She never meant to call, she did anyway,
and now he’s trying to find the words to say
Someday (someday), someday (someday.)
Yes.
She never meant to call, she did anyway,
and now he’s trying to find the words to say
Someday (someday), someday.

It’s five to twelve and she’s nervous as hell,
with nothing to lose,  it’s hard to choose it’s hard to tell.
Skin is dewdrop and warm;
the lipstick kiss, reminisce, awake ‘til dawn.

(Ooh-ooh) 
Yes.
She never meant to call, she did anyway,
and now he’s trying to find the words to say
Someday (someday), someday (someday.)
Yes. (Ooh-ooh)
She never meant to call, she did anyway,
and now he’s trying to find the words to say
Someday (someday), someday (someday.)

Et c’est alors que supposement blesse par le commun des mortels,
Je resurrecte encore et encore.
Je resurrecte encore et encore.

He’s on the phone and she wants to go home,
shoes in hand, don’t make a sound, it’s time to go

Ooh-ooh 
Yes.
She never meant to call, she did anyway,
and now he’s trying to find the words to say 
Someday (someday), someday (someday.)
Yes. (Ooh-ooh)
She never meant to call, she did anyway,
and now he’s trying to find the words to say
Someday (someday), someday (someday), someday.
