Gabriel, Peter - Sledgehammer Lyrics






You could have a steam train
If you'd just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back

All you do is call me
I'll be anything you need

You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name
Oh let me be your sledgehammer
This will be my testimony
Show me round your fruitcage
'Cos I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name
You'd better call the sledgehammer
Put your mind at rest
I'm going to be - the sledgehammer
This can be my testimony
I'm your sledgehammer
Let there be no doubt about it

Sledge sledge sledgehammer

I've kicked the habit
Shed my skin
This is the new stuff
I go dancing in, we go dancing in
Oh won't you show for me
And I will show for you
Show for me, I will show for you
Yea, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do mean you
Only you
You've been coming through
Going to build that power
Build, build up that power, hey
I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the rhythm
Going to feel that power, build in you
Come on, come on, help me do
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the rhythm
It's what we're doing, doing
All day and night

  92. i.... t....

    Who's Harry Styles? Lol!

  93. T.... O....

    Harry styles couldnt hold a candle to Peter Gabriel. Fck outta here with that

  94. M.... ....

    here because of ninja sex party who covered this song

  95. S.... Y....

    I've heard the song before because my mom loved Peter Gabriel when she was my age; he's of her era. Harry Styles is of mine and I came to the music video because of his answer on The Ellen Show. Yes, I had heard the song before, but didn't know there was a video. We can all enjoy it and get along. Treat people with kindness. 😊 This video must have taken so much skill, time, and effort to make. It is quite strange yet cool. A work of art, for sure.

  96. L.... ....

    I've just realised what it's about, lol. I was young when it dropped 😂
