A Hammer

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]
