Bletchley received transcripts of enemy wireless broadcasts from the Y-Service, based in a chain of wireless interception stations around the country. Many of the operatives in these Y-Stations were WRENs.
lyrics
I’m listening to you, I treasure each call.
Say whatever you like, I won’t mind at all.
I just need to hear you speak to me, dear.
I’m hearing your voice, your voice in my ear.
I cherish the words though they aren’t very clear.
I try to make sense, decide what you meant.
Spill all your secrets to me, no matter how small,
And though they’re a big mystery I’ll look after them all,
Your innermost thoughts, the intimate sort
Each night at this time I listen and wait.
I need to find out why your love turned to hate.
I write down what you say, I read it all day.
Whisper sweet nothings my love, no subject forbidden.
How is the weather right now on Unter Den Linden?
And how was your day? Oh please won’t you say?
We’re listening to you, we don’t think you’ve guessed.
Say whatever you like, we will fill in the rest.
Say whatever you like, I won’t mind at all.
I just need to hear you speak to me, dear.
I’m hearing your voice, your voice in my ear.
I cherish the words though they aren’t very clear.
I try to make sense, decide what you meant.
Spill all your secrets to me, no matter how small,
And though they’re a big mystery I’ll look after them all,
Your innermost thoughts, the intimate sort
Each night at this time I listen and wait.
I need to find out why your love turned to hate.
I write down what you say, I read it all day.
Whisper sweet nothings my love, no subject forbidden.
How is the weather right now on Unter Den Linden?
And how was your day? Oh please won’t you say?
We’re listening to you, we don’t think you’ve guessed.
Say whatever you like, we will fill in the rest.
