There’s a demo of ‘Please Don’t Go’ on YouTube, and I was wondering about the green telephone in the lyrics.
The demo lyrics are different from the lyrics of the actual song, and go ‘You said you’d leave mid-September as I recall, I just don’t remember…you showed yourself the door and left me alone with…(can’t figure that one out)…and a green telephone.’
Is this really how it went? I’m not great at distinguishing lyrics very well so I believe there’s a green telephone mentioned. If there really is one in the song I applaud the randomness, it makes me laugh. It’s a very good song.

Dear Justin
It doesn’t say that, it just sounds like it.
I used to walk you home
Then walk back alone
As I remember
I just can’t remember
I used to walk you home
Then walk back alone
As I remember
I just can’t remember
I will admit that there were times
When I was rude and so unkind
But can’t we kiss and make amends
Oh why oh why can’t we be friends
When we were seen
It was like a dream
Always together
I thought forever
But now you say
That it’s time to end
But I say never
N-n-n-no never
But when we kissed and when we touched
It used to mean so very much
But now your cold and want to go
Before you do, I want you to know
Please don’t go
Please don’t go because I really know
That I love you I really love you
I used to walk you home, then walk back alone
As I remember, I just can’t remember
But when we kissed and when we touched
It used to mean so very much
But now your cold and want to go
Before you do, I want you to know
Please don’t go because I really know
That I love you I really love you
Please don’t go because I really know
That I love you I really love you
Please don’t go because I really know
That I love you I really love you
(Please don’t go….love you)
Although I just realised you are referring to another version..

The Line from the demo that you cant get, say “With Lee Perry and a Green Telephone” presumably Lee “Scratch” Perry music.
