lyrics

(factory scrap)

The plant closed in ninety-eight and they left the doors open
And for two years anybody could just walk in and take
And I took brake drums, sheet steel and a length of chain
And I built the thing I play on every Sunday night

Factory scrap (factory scrap)
That's my whole church, factory scrap
Hung on a frame, factory scrap
Factory scrap

Factory scrap, scrap, factory scrap, scrap
Three thousand people lost a job and I got a bell
Factory scrap, scrap, factory scrap, scrap
And every note I strike is somebody's laid-off wage

My father worked that line for twenty-six years.
He came to a service in 2019 and he stood at the back
and he recognised the sound. He said "that's the press."
(ORGAN AND METAL CRASH BACK)

Factory scrap, scrap, factory scrap, scrap
Three thousand people lost a job and I got a bell
Factory scrap, scrap, factory scrap, scrap
And every note I strike is somebody's laid-off wage

(that's the press...)
