Pink Floyd fans?

Okay, I need help finding a song. I heard it on the radio last night, and have heard it before, but can't think of what it's called. I can't seem to remember any of the lyrics, just that at the end of the song an operator comes on, and says something about I have a collect call from America. Then he hangs up, and she says a few other things... but please, what is the song called?

It's called Young Lust and it goes like this:

I am just a new boy
Stranger in this town
Where are all the good times?
Who's gonna show this stranger around?

Ooooo I need a dirty woman
Ooooo I need a dirty girl

Will some woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man?
Take this rock n roll refugee
Ooo Babe, set me free

Ooooo I need a dirty woman
Ooooo I need a dirty girl

Ooooo I need a dirty woman
Ooooo I need a dirty girl

(Phone Ringing)
[Man:] "Hello?"
[Operator:] "Yes, a collect call for Mrs. Floyd from Mr. Floyd.
Will you accept the charges from the United States"
(Phone is Hung Up)
"He hung up. Is this your residence, sir?"
"I wonder why he hung up..."
"There must be someone else there
besides your wife to answer."
(Phone Ringing)
[Man:] "Hello?"
[Operator:] "This is the United States calling."
"Are we reaching?"
(Phone is Hung Up)
"See he keeps hanging up."
"But it's a man answering."
(Operator cuts connection)

Long time Floyd fan here. 6 spaces in my changer (vehicle) are dedicated to Floyd......
If I remember correctly, Pink Floyd derived their name from two old jazz greats.......

Greatest pink floyd shirt I ever saw was a all pink t shirt with a pic of floyd the barber on it from the andy griffith show

Very heady music, I've seen them 3 times myself.

i have recently spun the final cut cd & meddle.

the final cut is true to the title, and from what i understand could almost be considered as roger waters first solo album.

meddle is from 1971, has a song on it called echoes, its 23 minutes long, and its like audible valium.

i usually dont go for those real long 'rock-anthem' things, but its awesome.

both these cd's are exceptional among all their very good releases.

Try drinking about 12 beers and watching Dumb and Dumber at the same time. Now that's a trip!
