About Call Me

Call Me is an EP by heavy metal band Diamond Head and was released in 1982 by MCA. It was a single A-side featuring "Call Me", with "Dead Reckoning" as the B-Side. The French release was only available on 7". Both songs were popular in the band's live set. But only "Call Me" made it onto the band's 1982 album Borrowed Time. "Dead Reckoning" was later available on Diamond Head's 1987 compilation album Am I Evil. Both tracks had previously appeared on the Four Cuts EP. As this was released through a major label, the band were able to produce a promotional video for this single. The video shows the band performing "Call Me" and was shot at the Manchester Odeon.

Four O'clock in the morning now
Well I can't sleep for love
Been waiting for you to call
To say you love me enough

It clouds my head that unhappy night
Please forgive every word
I see it all much clearer now
It all seems so absurd

But my plane leaves at 10a.m.
We both know I must go
To return I must be told
That you know what I know

Call me, baby Call me
Call me, baby Call me

To tell the truth I don't want to go
So say you want me to stay
You are more than all to me
This is no game that I play

But my plane leaves at 10a.m.
We both know I must go
To return I must be told
That you know what I know

Call me, baby Call me
Call me, baby Call me
Call me, baby Call me
Call me, baby Call me

But my plane leaves at 10a.m.
We both know I must go
To return I must be told
That you know what I know

Say you love me, say you do
Let me tell you
Tell me that you want me to stay
Baby, baby, baby
