Helpline Operator

[Verse 1]

I watch the sun go down on London Town

I wait for the night voices to sound

I smell the pain upon the breath of the lost and the lonely

I hear the thoughts that whisper in the hearts of all men

[Chorus]

I'm the helpline operator and I'll spare you the time

I'm the intimate stranger, your problems will be mine

[Verse 2]

Put your tongue into the mouthpiece

And whisper in my ear

Admit to me the things you can't admit to yourself

Admit to me and no one else

Everybody's looking for someone to tell them what they want to hear

Everybody's looking for true love to help them feel what they cannot feel

[Chorus]

I'm the helpline operator, can you spare me the time

I'm the intimate stranger, your problems will be mine

I'm the helpline operator, helpline operator

Helpline operator, helpline operator

[Outro]

True love will come

True love will come

Helpline operator, helpline operator

Helpline operator, helpline operator
