I can sing the numbers bit with gusto, at least

Could a discerning ear try to puzzle out the lyrics to "01-01-212" by the Vice Creems? They never made more than a couple of singles, so of course there isn't anything online. Still, the song's catchy.

Best answer: Sure, let's make it a group effort.

---

Sitting, thinking 'bout our ... [school?]
Feeling kind of sick of being all alone
Thinking of the distance that's put between [us two?]
Wondering if ever you're really gonna make it through

On 01-01-212

Hoping that there's plenty left to say
Hoping that it's safe to feel that way
Knowing that you could've(? couldn't?) even if you wanted to
You're hanging on to nothing 'cause that's all there's left to do

On 01-01-212

Never have we(? I?) felt this way before
Never known what the game is or the score
Never known the [office?] or what to say or do
Wondering how it must [have been?] to be with Peggy Sue

On 01-01-212 (x 4)

Best answer: I agree completely with capricorn's interpretation, with the exception of the first line, which I'm pretty sure is:

sitting, thinking 'bout a year is gone

(Also, 'office' might be 'offers').

Response by poster: Okay, wow, I just remembered why I loved everyone on this site. What you've got up there is a million times more than I ever managed to figure out.

Thanks a bunch to the both of you for humoring an odd little request. For serious.

Thanks Tiresias, your hearing of the first line sounds right to me.

Now what I want to know is what the heck the numbers actually mean.
