Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine

Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine (frequently shortened to Carter USM) are an English indie rock band formed in 1988 by singer Jim "Jim Bob" Morrison and guitarist Les "Fruitbat" Carter. They made their name with a distinctive style of power pop, fusing samples, sequenced basses and drum machines with rock 'n' roll guitars and off-beat wordplay-loaded lyrics. They reached the height of their fame in 1992. Over the following years the band took on new members, topping out as a six-piece, but struggled to regain their earlier popularity. They initially split up in 1998 after releasing seven albums. more »

While you were out
Spreading the gospel
According to whatever
You believed in at the time
Her Majesty's axeman cameth
And closed the hospital
The birthplace 
Of our bonny baby son

Yesterday they took away
Our bus stop
Today they'll try and take 
Our happy home
Tomorrow I'll be burned as a witch
For playing punk rock
You picked a fine time 
To leave me on my own

I know
That what you don't know
Doesn't hurt you
And the only time 
You get homesick's
When you're home
But while you were out
Our whole future was in doubt
So get your finger out
And phone

Please phone

While joyriders filmed by Sky
Ram and raid and drink and drive
Homicidal passers by
Leave unattended bags
Outside our home
While you were out
Our whole future was in doubt
You better get your finger out
Phone!

It's simple
Lift the receiver,
Listen for the dialing tone
When you here that dialing tone
Pick a number, any number,
My number, dial that number
Speak to me!

Please phone
