The Hammer And The Nail - Ed Harcourt

I’ve been disguised by sunken eye

I sleep in cars and shout at stars

The killer said I’m not quite dead

Replied then I must hide

Please don’t say I’m stuck in wood

That I could sink like metal should

And I see the ocean envelope me Like I was meant to be a baby

And I see the ocean envelope me Like I was meant to be a baby

An old scrap heap, I heard him creep

He sawed the rust and struck at dusk

All my hope he crushed and choked

So my life won’t wait inside this crate

And please don’t say I’m stuck in wood

That I could sink like metal should

And I see the ocean envelope me Like I was meant to be a baby

And I see the ocean envelope me Like I was meant to be a baby, oh
