The Hammer Song

Nick Cave and the bad seeds

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
