- You only call me if your feeling blue
You tell me i don't pay attention to you
But if you only knew, just what i'm going through
You wouldn't phone those guys who mess around with you girl
When i call you i get stack of lies
You whip 'em out before you dry your eyes
I'm not a fruit machine a nineteen sixties dream
And in the 'bet you' list i bet you've never seen her
Pre chorus
Your not unreadable,your not unbeatable,
I know just what you are, don't push your luck too far
Your not untouchable, not just another girl
I'd get in touch with you , i only wish you knew that
Chorus
I've got your number written on the back of my hand x 3
I've got your number
I had a dream i met another girl
But in the morning she was just a kick inside,
I hope i'm gettin' through the interference too
My money's running out i don't know what to say now
The operator's saying cut the line
You want to call here for the very last time,
You're only young at heart, but there's a time to start
Just realizing what i've got down here girl!
Pre chorus
You're not unreachable ....etc
Chorus
Guitar solo
Say don't you realize
Is there nothing left inside
Hey did i get you wrong
Say where's your number gone
First half of first verse...then pre chorus...chorus - Hudba
The greatest Elvis Costello hit that Elvis Costello never made. Brilliant.
I was on holiday when this came out and met a girl called Karen and we fell in love over this song
A quality tune that should have more recognition than it received the fantastic Jag’s . . Hello from Scotland.
Classic late 70s Britpop at its very best.
Big hit in their native U.K, but only peaked as high as No. 84 on the Billboard Hot 100 here in the States in early 1980.
Underrated song.
Not 'Alf pop pickers".
The greatest Thin Lizzy hit thet Thin Lizzy never made. Wonderful.
The greatest Undertones hit thit the Undertones never made. Sublime.
The greatest Easybeats hit thut the Easybeats never made. Marvelous.
I was drinking coca cola with my mum and dad and 2 brothers. Sadly I lost both the brothers. But..
"I've got their number... written on the back of my hand". Along with a former wife. Mother in law, three employers. And the cops. Top work Jags. Which rhymes with boz scaggs.
I just decided to hear this as it flashed in my mind for some reason,glad it did.I loved this song in high school and now I know why.Great tune.
It's been decades since I've thought about this tune. Ahhhhh, shades of Tommy Tutone, Bram Tchaikovsky & Harliquin. Yep, this goes into my RocknRollgirl Hall of Fame ; )
I remember when this came out, I was13 brilliant song
Each song has meaningful memories and meaning.
I saw the Jags in New Orleans and loved them. It took me years to find this recording, which is one of my favorite songs of all time.
you have taste. fab song.
Which venue in New Orleans? Jimmy’s?
Just saw the lead singer on a brit show, 24hours in A&E... "Walk on the wild side" episode..
Takes me back a good few years
I always thought the lyric was
“Get Out and Read a Book!” 🤣
top song
Wow this song is incredible 👏
A band called the jags
Back of my hand
Released back in '79
Absolutely outstanding 👏 👌
This band sounds certainly like the boomtown rats or the undertones
I got your number written on the back of my hand! 1979 dating so much sexier than today's "I'll text ya." Ha-ha-ha, no hand holding for you!! .....Great song!
Yes that old thing called romance * sigh *
@@wintertontoday Exactly! Texting is so cold - not sexy at all, you can't even hear the person's voice or laughter. A boring way to date.
Thanks for posting. I have been looking for the correct lyrics for this wonderful record since 1979. Cheers.
fruit machine? no
Fruit machine, yes. It's a kind of slot machine common in British pubs.
It took me literally years to find the cd and a video too!! So worth it though❤️
Stock replies and love not luck
Get Out and read a book!
Great
Brilliant!
I forgot about this one. Very early Joe Jackson/Elvis Costello feel...but good...fun!
Fan
Pretty sure I had a girl write her number on my hand while the band was playing this!
😍
Trevor Horn involved too
Anyone else here after watching 24 Hours in A&E ?
I'd would've loved to hear the Libertines covet this.
I'm zaphod beedlebrox...
Maybe I misheard the lyrics?!
I think it's My motor's runnin and I don't know what so say now. And it's definitely unreadable.
My money's runnin' out.
Hey, one of faves memories?
the Methadones brought me here
Not on spotify!
Because Spotify is rubbish......!
What is the meaning of this song got your number on the back of my hand
I'm not a fruit machine a nineteen sixties dream - probably correct...
"And in the 'bet you' list i bet you've never seen her" Fecked if I know that is correct. It doesn't make sense. Good Bloomin' effort though
