Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

The Hammer Song

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

Chiseling the surface

Firing the furnace

Hammering the anvil

Hammering the anvil

Firing the furnace

Chiseling the surface

Shoveling the ashes

Hammering the anvil

Hammering the anvil.......

Oh don't talk to me
