[Verse 1]
The final call
On the home phone this morning
Just when you had thought
She was doing well
Sunburnt lawn
Where papers pile like woodlands
You never thought would fall
She talks of destinations
You know she won't see again
[Chorus]
You think when you're young and stupid
When you're young and stupid
You got time, you got time to spare
You know that's just a lie that they tell
She's never gonna ring again
[Verse 2]
The final call
It comes down pouring
Like the rain upon your soul
But you're stuck in your ways
So you just let the good times roll
[Chorus]
You think when you're young and stupid
When you're young and stupid
You can wastе, waste the day away
You know that's just a lie that thеy tell
Washing on the line, fading in the sun and rain
Telephone line never gonna ring again
So let the good times roll, ooh-ooh
When you're young and stupid
When you're young and you think
You got time, you got time to spare
You know that's just a lie that they tell
Telephone line never gonna ring again
[Outro]
You wouldn't think it was the last time, yeah, yeah
You wouldn't think it was the last time, oh, yeah
You wouldn't think it was the last time, yeah, yeah
But it was the final call
You wouldn't think it was the last time, yeah, yeah
You wouldn't think it was the last line, oh, yeah
You wouldn't think it was the last time, yeah, yeah
But it was the final call

As it was in the middle of the worst part of covid, there was a certain vibe...
