Story behind the song
The original Life Call commercial was extremely "cheesy" and when I saw this well=dressed elderly woman say "When I became deathly ill"
translated "When my family stopped paying attention to me", I had to write the song. It was originally recorded on a 4-track Tascam but I recently re-recorded it on a digital recorder.
Lyrics
LIFE CALL
(TELEPHONE)
MAN: I'M HAVING CHEST PAIN
OPERATOR: DON'T WORRY MR. MILLER, AN AMBULANCE IS ..... WAIT OUR RECORDS SHOW YOU HAVEN'T PAID US THIS MONTH, SORRY.
(TELEPHONE)
WOMAN: I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP.
OPERATOR: AN AMBULANCE IS ON ITS WAY, MRS. FLETCHER OOPS, SORRY MRS. FLETCHER , LIFE CALL IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR HMO,
YOU'LL HAVE TO GET YOURSELF UP.
(DRUMS)
VERSE:
WHEN I BECAME DEATHLY ILL
FROM TOO MUCH OF THE WRONG KIND OF PILL
IF YOU'RE HAVING CHEST PAIN
OR IF YOU NEED SECONDARY GAIN
REACH FOR THE CHAIN ON THE WALL
AND ACTIVATE LIFE CALL
CHORUS:
LIFE CALL
LIFE CALL
PUSH A BUTTON OR PULL THE CHAIN ON THE WALL
FOR LIFE CALL.
VERSE:
WHEN YOU DON'T WALK SO WELL
AND YOUR HEALTH HAS GONE TO HELL
PAY BACK FOR THOSE YEARS THAT YOU SMOKE
WITHOUT OXYGEN , YOU BEGIN TO CHOKE
REACH FOR THE CHAIN ON THE WALL
AND ACTIVATE LIFE CALL
CHORUS:
VERSE:
WHEN YOU'VE FALLEN AND CAN'T GET UP
HAD TOO MUCH BOOZE IN YOUR CUP
IF ON THE FLOOR YOU FALL
AND CAN'T EVEN CRAWL
REACH FOR THE CHAIN ON THE WALL
AND ACTIVATE LIFE CALL
CHORUS:
