"No Phone" by Cake

Just happened to be listening to some Cake the other day and the song “No Phone” came on. To be honest, I kind of sat marveling that this song was written in 2003, way before smartphones came along. Seems incredibly prescient. Here’s some lyrical excerpts:

No phone No phone I just want to be alone today
...
Ringing stinging
Jerking like a nervous bird
Rattling up against his cage
Calls to me throughout the day
...
No phone No phone I just want to be alone today
...
Rhyming chiming got me working all the time
Gives me such a worried mind
...
No phone No phone I just want to be alone today
...
Shaking quaking
Waking me when I'm asleep
Never lets me go too deep
Summons me with just one beep
The price we pay is steep
...
My smooth contemplations will always be broken
My deepest concerns will stay buried and unspoken
...
No phone No phone I just want to be alone today
