lyrics

(that's the press)

He stood at the back with his cap still in his hands
Seventy-one years old at an industrial gospel show
And when I struck the big one, the flat sheet on the frame
His head came up like a man hearing his own name

That's the press (that's the press)
He said it out loud, that's the press
In the middle of the song, that's the press
That's the press

That's the press, the press, that's the press, the press
Twenty-six years of his life makes that exact sound
That's the press, the press, that's the press, the press
And I did not know. I picked it because it rang.

He worked the line. I took the metal. Twenty years apart.
I thought I was making something new out of a dead place.
I was building him an instrument out of his own working day.
(ORGAN AND METAL CRASH BACK)

That's the press, the press, that's the press, the press
Twenty-six years of his life makes that exact sound
That's the press, the press, that's the press, the press
And I did not know. I picked it because it rang.

(that's the press...)
