Story Behind The Song
The Collector - the call center 2nd line nightmare - back in 2004 working in a broadband call center we had to police and protect the equipment which included Headphones, headphone controller boxes, ear-pads and leads. It sometimes became obsessive and the core of a long day of calls.

Lyrics
The collector's coming round
The collector's coming round
No point in hiding headphones, pads & leads
You've got to be a non-collector to be deceived
The collector's coming round
The collector's coming round
Move a box
change the phones
Steal the box
Pull the wires
The collector's coming round
The collector's coming round
And if you thinkin "I'll just swap again"
You know you better think again
And you better tell all your friends
Move a box
change the phones
Steal the box
Pull the wires
The collector's coming round
The collector's coming round
And all those boxes - they're just all the same
The way you treat them - you'd think you'd give them all a name
Move a box
change the phones
Steal the box
Pull the wires
and I'll tell "Bricky"
and I'll tell "Bricky"
and I'll tell "Bricky"
and I'll tell "Bricky"
Move a box
change the phones
Steal the box
Pull the wire
