about

The human heart seeks liberation in confined spaces. “Call Centre”, by Australian avant-garage outfit Toxic Bears, is a psychedelic punk song about Mumbai telemarketers embarking on a subversive romance. It bolts out of the gate with majestic bombast and a hardcore romp through the soul-hardening routine of the aspiring phone hawker. It breaks down with a reggae-inspired vamp as gang vocals cry out the telemarketer’s mantra - or is it the dictates of management ? “We won’t let up... won’t let you get away.” In a shift to melodic psychedelia, a new hope springs internal via a connection through the office partition.

lyrics

Say, We're calling you today
We get paid that way
Our relentless hustle
Aching heart and muscle

We won't let up, oh no never, won't let you get away
We won't let up, oh no never, won't let you get away
We won't set up, oh no never, won't let you get away
We won't get up, oh no never, won't let you get away

Must have made a million calls
See you through partition walls
Sippin from a coffee cup
Ring my number I'll pick up

Ring, phones all day our thing
You and me will spend
So much time together
Revolution in a call centre

We won't let up, oh no never, won't let you get away
We won't let up, oh no never, won't let you get away
We won't set up, oh no never, won't let you get away
We won't get up, oh no never, won't let you get away

Working till the break of dawn
Laying on the forest floor
Call you up and talk some more
Lakshmi opens the door

So much time together
So much time together
So much time together
