Fingers: 1-900-USA-NAILS
Prisoner: "operator I love you. Operator, I would never leave you... Operator I love to see your face pressed up against the glass. I need to hear the way your tongue tastes in my ear..."
Operator: "Put the receiver to your chest and let me know who loves you best."
Prisoner: "The county sheriff said that my baby is dead. They found him in some trash can, blue all clenched and chewed. Don't judge me, I'm not his real mother, I couldn't even recognize his face, his tears of wax, his skin like a subway running over spinal tracks. Operator can I confide you? They haven't got an ounce of proof! Those pigs locked me up to see what color i'd rot into! ( It wasn't me it was my false tiger limbs.. It wasn't me it was the garbage gryphon!) When i walk i wald alone (operator come on!), when I watch you through the phone (operator come on) and depupil these lonely eyes, the love scenes grafted to the sky are making me cry...1-900-USA-NAILS (oh baby) I get one phone call a day from Molson County jail...
Operator: 1-900-USA-NAILS. 98 cents per minute cash or credit, check or debit...
(noticeable pause)
Prisoner: Operator-rator wont you tell me again! Operator-rator yeah you're my only friend!
Operator: "Do you remember that night in the back of daddy's car...strumming the chords of your pubic guitar...the way you tasted like a movie star...the way the windsheild reflected the sunrise, the way the light tattooed your thighs...You're the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world... .. your time is up, till next time! We'll send you a bill."
Prisoner: Listen....can you hear the buildings crumbling in slow motion? Blow me up like a baloon we'll float over the ocean! Listen...can you hear them taking me away, don't tell the fucking guards what i've said. can you see the angels stringing wires through my face?...
Operator: Meet me next week, same time, same place.
...Burn, Piano Island, Burn

thanks, jagoff, i hadnt noticed. anyway, this is one of the coolest songs on the cd, and the way the cd builds up to is awesome. its soft with "every breath is a bomb," gets heavier and louder with "ambulance vs ambulance" and then this track just blows you away with its speed, intensity and unexpectedly catchy hooks. 1-900-USA N A I L S OH BABY!

I think these guys are some of the greatest poets in music today. Nobody can write a song like this. Nobody. The Blood Brothers pack an entire story into one line of one song. "Those pigs locked me up here to see what colour I'd rot into." Brilliant line. One of the best of the whole time. It's saying so much in such a simple effective way. That is exactly what a poem is meant to do.
