lyrics

(twenty-six years)

He did not tell me it was the press for about a month
He waited until Christmas and he said it in the kitchen
He said the flat one, the big one, that is the four-hundred tonne
And then he asked me if I wanted more potatoes

Twenty-six years (twenty-six)
He stood at that machine, twenty-six
Every day, twenty-six
Twenty-six

Twenty-six years, six years, twenty-six years
I hung his working life on a frame and called it mine
Twenty-six years, six years, twenty-six years
And he came to a church and heard it and said nothing for a month

I asked him if it bothered him. He said no. He said
"they were going to melt it." He said "somebody should use it."
Then he asked about the potatoes again. That is the whole conversation.
(ORGAN AND METAL CRASH BACK)

Twenty-six years, six years, twenty-six years
I hung his working life on a frame and called it mine
Twenty-six years, six years, twenty-six years
And he came to a church and heard it and said nothing for a month

(somebody should use it...)
