Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
Telegraph (The Manor Version 1981)
[Intro]
Right

[Verse 1]
I've got a telegraph
Here in my hand
Words on paper
Written in sand
God in his mercy
Looked down on me
Said, "You're the sinner
That you want to be"

[Chorus]
We've got telegraph (We've got telegraph)
Right across this land (Right across this land)
It doesn't mean a damn thing (Doesn't mean a damn thing)
We don't understand (We don't understand)
Who needs telegraph
Anyway?

[Verse 2]
I've got a telegraph (I've got a telegraph)
In my hand (In my hand)
Words on paper (Words on paper)
Written in sand (Written in sand)
Even in America (Even in America)
They understand (Understand)
The value of religion (Value of religion)
Hand in hand (Hand in hand)
God's got telegraph (God's got telegraph)
On his side (On his side)
It makes him powerful (It makes him powerful)
Gives him pride (Gives him pride)
[Outro]
