A Hammer - Kate Tempest[00:00:00]
Dale was Pete's Mum's new boyfriend's son[00:00:11]
He had a mouth that was too small for his toungue[00:00:13]
Teeth like a ladder that was missing a rung[00:00:17]
Chin looked like it was trying to run[00:00:20]
He had a laugh like a car crash[00:00:22]
Eyes like[00:00:25]
Pot holes in tarmac[00:00:26]
Complexion the colour of chewed up bar snacks[00:00:28]
Kinda guy spend his whole life getting laughed at[00:00:32]
When all you've got is a hammer[00:00:34]
Everything looks like nails[00:00:37]
If you bow to the hand that damns you[00:00:40]
Everything fails[00:00:44]
The things you do do you[00:00:46]
The plans you hatch hatch monsters[00:00:49]
Unless you watch your moves[00:00:52]
Your own fists will knock you unconscious[00:00:54]
Pete took him to the pub and the conversation dragged[00:00:57]
So Pete got pissed[00:01:00]
Pretty soon he had more than his usual[00:01:01]
Approaching legless[00:01:04]
He found himself opening up[00:01:06]
I got to get this off my chest he said[00:01:07]
With his head in his hands[00:01:10]
I got this girlfriend[00:01:11]
But I can't stand the way things are going[00:01:13]
Right she's got this job but I don't like it[00:01:16]
It pisses me off[00:01:19]
I don't even know[00:01:20]
What we're fighting for but these days[00:01:22]
Me and her[00:01:24]
We are fightin' more than I'd like[00:01:24]
And then out comes the white[00:01:27]
And Dale looks at him in the clinical light of the toilets[00:01:29]
Why what does she do[00:01:33]
Pete looks at his shoes and says[00:01:34]
She's a masseuse[00:01:36]
When all you've got is a hammer[00:01:39]
Everything looks like nails[00:01:42]
If you bow to the hand that damns you[00:01:45]
Everything fails[00:01:48]
The things you do do you[00:01:51]
The plans you hatch hatch monsters[00:01:54]
Unless you watch your moves[00:01:57]
Your own fists will knock you unconscious[00:01:59]
You could call her up[00:02:02]
You could book a session[00:02:03]
You could push her[00:02:05]
See if she responds and then[00:02:06]
You can tell me everything[00:02:08]
And we will both see that I was wrong[00:02:10]
To have ever doubted[00:02:14]
That she would be the mother of[00:02:15]
Pure modesty cause I know she loves me[00:02:17]
She just does this to pay the bills[00:02:21]
And to exist in a way[00:02:24]
That will give her the means to live for[00:02:26]
For than a dull routine[00:02:29]
Dale nods[00:02:31]
Bells ring in Pete's head[00:02:31]
But he looks at Dale[00:02:34]
Those clumsy legs[00:02:35]
That sunken chest[00:02:36]
That spotty neck[00:02:38]
This is the perfect man to do the test[00:02:39]
When all you've got is a hammer[00:02:45]
Everything looks like nails[00:02:48]
If you bow to the hand that damns you[00:02:51]
Everything fails[00:02:54]
The things you do do you[00:02:57]
The plans you hatch hatch monsters[00:03:00]
Unless you watch your moves[00:03:03]
Your own fists will knock you unconscious[00:03:06]
