Flying Fox and the Hunter Gatherers - Hammer lyrics

[Chorus] Hear my monster's heavy hands Hear the rumble of his pneumatic might Hear an unwed thrust into the land, and Bang. Bang. Bang Hear the hammer in the night Out in the open, and out in the rain Gaia gives birth to a south bound train Remember a childhood, remember a youth? It was a warm spring, it was a hot one And he was asking with a shuddered thud To gets into position and slips into the mud But love does he love you? love does he care? It is his duty; it is a job At four o'clock he starts his opening theme A dramatic incarnation of industrial regime We wouldn't call it music, but it's charming all the same It is seductive in its ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca Ca phony, and it works well Though she doesn't need the courtship, she's always in heat Waiting with her chin up, waiting here and there for a suitor And here he comes, he says: [Chorus] Hear my monster's heavy hands Hear the rumble of his pneumatic might Hear an unwed thrust into the land, and Bang. Bang. Bang Hear the hammer in the night Oh Voyageur, see the ripples on the pond Oh Voyageur, see the going going getting on Bang out an orphan, with an orphan-ish pain His parents fuss and fight and leave a lonely little train It's the same old tragic story, yes we've heard it all before These organisms reproduce and nothing more Out in the sunshine, out in the open A tormented lack-of-love-child Is crying all alone Waiting for his pa**engers, waiting for his people And here they are and they're angry, they say: [Chorus] Hear my monster's heavy hands Hear the rumble of his pneumatic might Hear an unwed thrust into the land, and Bang. Bang. Bang Hear the hammer in the night
