about
“Operator, Please” is a swampy, seductive throwback to 70s soul and funk, evoking the indelible Southern sound from classic labels like Hi and Cat. Lead singer Alex Savoth is smooth and charming as the song begins, but by the final chorus, he is wearing his heart on his sleeve, using his powerful voice to deliver passionate pleas to a new flame he can't resist.
lyrics
Hi
Operator It’s me again
Well I got some more bad news.
Just another call to say I got nothing left to lose
And I need a hand, cuz I’m short on change it’s true
Long distance assistance is what I need from you
Listen to me now when I say,
Never thought that I could feel this way
This easy (easy)
Operator leave me on the line
What you said I need another dime
Will a dollar do, It’s me and you tonight
Turn up your receiver, I need you to feel it too
I’m dialin’ zero to get to you
I hope this message is coming through
Listen to me now when I say,
Never thought that I could feel this way
This easy
I’m holding on the line so baby please
Don’t leave me
Ill call ya any time of day
Believe me
It’s easy
So easy.
operator please
You keep taking calls on your other line
Now I’m lost
I’m so lost
When you hang up that telephone, I’m still here with the dial tone babe
Listen to me now when I say,
Never thought that I could feel this way
This easy
Operator all i need is you
don’t go away
Any place or time of day
Believe me
This easy
So easy

I had not yet seen Thee Sacred Souls live when I bought this single, but knowing these talented guys were covering it, gave me comfort that it was gonna be great...and who doesn't love a new interpretation of Brenton Wood! Lil Mike
