Bug In The Machine   (1987) 

(Gold/Gouldman) 



I know you must've phoned 

Cause you can't live without me 

But my answering machine 

Must be going on the blink 



I know you want to say 

Want to say you're sorry 

But the message on the phone 

Sounded like 'leave me alone' 



I must've bought a faulty unit 

You couldn't want a world without me in it 

And up to now it was working like a dream 

Uh oh uh oh 

Bug in the machine 



Must be something wrong 

Got a bad connection 

The wires must be crossed 

I know it can't be you I lost 



Your voice was sounding strange to me 

Like on your own was what you want to be 

Reuniteds what I'm sure you mean 

Uh oh uh oh 

Bug in the machine 



Oh I'm standing on the edge 

Of a nervous breakdown 

Cause an answering machine 

You and I has come between 



Can't hold a one way conversation 

I need some real communication 

I'd like to fix that little green 

Uh oh uh oh 

Bug in the machine 



I know you must've phoned 

Cause you can't live without me 

My answering machine 

Must be going on the blink
