The Hammer Song (in Album Kicking Against The Pricks)

(a. harvey)



Oh please don't send me out

Said the man with the hammer, hammering the anvil

I been walking on a road of rocks

And i keep on hammering, keep on hammering, keep on hammering,

Hammering the anvil





Don't let the sun go down

Said the man with the fire, firing the furnace

I been buried in the snow

And i keep on firing, keep on firing, keep on firing,

Firing the furnace





Oh don't talk to me

Said the man with the chisel, chiseling the surface

I been sleeping far too long

And i keep on chiseling, keep on chiseling, keep on chiseling,

Chiseling the surface





I don't know what you mean

Said the man with the shovel, shoveling the ashes

I been digging in the frozen ground

And i keep on shoveling, keep on shoveling, keep on shoveling,

Shoveling the ashes





Shoveling the ashes

Chiseling the surface

Firing the furnace

Hammering the anvil
