[Verse 1]
Poet's problem, patron saint
Puts me in the place I'm in
Passion's letter, poison pen
On these two things I can depend

[Chorus]
You will write your number, that's not all
I will not be there when you call
I think I'll do a line and then again...

[Verse 2]
Dirty dealer's school of thought
An armchair for the strength you've lost
The TV set's been on all night
You were wrong and I was right

[Chorus]
You will write your number on the wall
I will not be there when you call
I think I'll do a line and then again...

Blondie is an American rock band founded by singer Deborah Harry and guitarist Chris Stein. The band was a pioneer in the early American new wave and punk scenes of the mid-1970s. Their first two albums contained strong elements of these genres, and although successful in the United Kingdom and Australia, Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the United States until the release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next three years, the band achieved several hit singles including “Call Me”, “Atomic” and “Heart of Glass” and became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of disco, pop, rap, and reggae, while retaining a basic style as a new wave band.
