Testo Factory - Stan Ridgway
Testo della canzone Factory (Stan Ridgway), tratta dall'album Call of the Northwest - Live in Seattle
Now I know I had something to say
But the problem is to say something
Oh, you gotta say it
And I really don't remember a thing
Since some funny gas came out of that pipe
Next to me, I guess they didn't okay it
Now I remember, didn't I tell you
Cut my thumb off at the knuckle
On a broken bandsaw
Didn't see the belt buckle or the blade slip
And I remember when the doctor
It it up with a stitch
Funny thing, still got a scratch
That I can't itch where my thumb was
Well, I brought the same piece of chicken
In a bag to work every day
For the last twenty years or so
And I really don't mind
Work the assembly line
Got an intercom blast
Get the news and the latest on the baseball scores
Come around every Friday
Well, I get a paycheck
Take the same road home
Then I come to work, oh heck, it's a living
And I've got another factory back home
Got a barbecue, a pink Mustang, fenders chrome
At nine o'clock I'm sitting there in my chair
And I don't know why I lose my hair
Then I go to
Then I go to
Then I go to sleep
Well, I like to know what I'm doing when I do it
And I do what I'm doing 'cause I don't know what to do
When I'm not doing it
Sometimes I remember as a boy my father told me
I could grow up to be anything
I really wanted to be anything
And every day at lunch I still look for my lost digit
Still got that funny scratch
So maybe when I find it I can itch it
And I got a little rubber pool in the backyard
For the kids to wade in
And I
Whoa
I
I, I, I
I've got another factory back home
Got a barbecue, a pink Mustang, fenders chrome
At nine o'clock I'm in my chair sat down
And just lately when my wife talks back to me
I slap her around
Then I go to
Then I go to
Then I go to sleep
Thank you
I don't want anybody to dirty those
White tablecloths out there with anything
You make a stain, you're gonna pay for it
We're just gonna have to wash those
Things at the laundromat later on, right?
Do they have any white tablecloths on those things anymore?
What is that, black tablecloth?
What is it, no tablecloth?
No tablecloth
Oh, wow, they've changed things here since last time
Well
I want to introduce the band over here
It's Rick King on guitar
On the drum set it's Joe Berardi
On the keyboards there is the lovely and
Beautiful Pietra Wexter, there she is
We'll be doing rehab together next, next week after the tour ends
Out there in Escondido changing our blood
We're gonna try another one here
This one is from a record called Mosquitoes
This one's called Peg and Pete and Me
