Answering Machine by The Replacements, the eleventh song off one of the best albums ever "Let it Be", released in 1984.

Lyrics:

1, 2, 3, 4

Try to breathe some life into a letter

Losing hope, never gonna be together

My courage is at it's peak

You know what I mean

How do say you're O.K. to

An answering machine?

How do you say good night to

An answering machine?

Big town's got its losers

Small town's got its vices

A handful of friends

One needs a match, one needs some ice

Call-waiting phone in another time zone

How do you say I miss you to

An answering machine?

How do say good night to

An answering machine?

I get enough of that

Try to free a slave of ignorance

Try and teach a whore about romance

How do you say I miss you to

An answering machine?

How do you say good night to

An answering machine?

How do you say I'm lonely to

An answering machine?

The message is very plain

Oh, I hate your answering machine

I hate your answering machine

I hate your answering machine...

Trying to find a good answering machine message for a live cover... it's surprisingly hard to find one.

I love the fact that there's no backing band on this track. I makes it sound as fucking lonely as the words he's singing.

Ahhh... the only thing I'll miss when I die is music... and women. They drive me crazy but I will, somehow- really miss them (gluttony)... Answering Machine: I wake up every morning with this track swimming around in my head... and I think of someone always on my mind-... she's so far away (alcohol makes it worse) but she's my cross to bear.

I missed the last tour my a few weeks. I was just starting to really realize how good they are and were...

See 'em live to get full band version. Also good but this recording is rock legend and bliss.

This is a perfect example of being influenced(The Byrds) properly, and remaining original. I think, anyway.

God, I remember when I first heard this and was pissed there was no band behind it.Now I'd never want it to change.

Danm ! Good tune i like the way the guitar sounds as for the question i am still working on the answer. St. Paul and the boys not to shabby. Replacements a unique entity in rock and roll. Cant hardly wait to see em play live again.
