lyrics

(forty-one)

He wanted a lineup for the bottom of the article
Three names, four maximum, something he could print
So we went through two years of Thursdays and we counted
And we sent him every single person who had played

Forty-one names (forty-one)
We sent him all of them, forty-one
He printed four, forty-one
Forty-one

Forty-one names, one names, forty-one names
He picked the four that he could say out loud
Forty-one names, one names, forty-one names
And thirty-seven people made that record too

Number twenty-nine is a woman who came once, in March.
She played one line on a borrowed keyboard and went home.
That line is the intro of the biggest song we have. One night. One line.
(KICK SLAMS BACK)

Forty-one names, one names, forty-one names
He picked the four that he could say out loud
Forty-one names, one names, forty-one names
And thirty-seven people made that record too
