Lyrics National Steel - Kathleen Edwards

National Steel

What a surprise
Wearing your disguise on the telephone line
I know it pleased you
To know I needed you and your time
You play the game
Not saying either way, but you know
Could’ve made it real quick
Save me the guilt trip, and just said, «No»
Are you writing this all down?
Are you writing this all down?
This conversation
Alienation in your tone
I’ve got no fucking clue
From your point of view and your time zone
I wouldn’t have asked
Saved you the task, if I weren’t for real
Trading a daughter and two thousand dollars
For a national steel
Are you writing this all down?
Are you writing this all down?
Are you writing this all down?
Are you writing this all down?
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down down
