Humble Pie - Chip Away The Stone Lyrics






Well, you act like a prima donna, playin' so hard to get
Lookin’ so cool and nonchalant [?] draggin' on a cigarette
Well, you keep a wall all around you, I'll get through some day
I want your love if push comes to shove, gonna chip that wall away.

Chip away, chip away at the stone
’Cause I ain’t gonna stop till your love it my very own
Chip away, that's what I'm gonna do
Sweet little mama, I wanna get next to you.

You stand like a marble statue, tryin' to look so hard
All decked out in your antique dress while the boys all promenade
Even a rock will crumble if you strike it night and day
If hammer I must I'm gonna get through your crust, gonna chip that stone away.

Chip away, chip away at the stone
’Cause I ain’t gonna stop till your love it my very own
Chip away, that's what I'm gonna do
Sweet little mama, I wanna get next to you.

You stand like a marble statue, tryin' to look so hard
All decked out in your antique dress while the boys all promenade
Even a rock will crumble if you strike it night and day
If hammer I must I'm gonna get through your crust, gonna chip that stone away.

Chip away, chip away at the stone
’Cause I ain’t gonna stop till your love it my very own
Chip away, that's what I'm gonna do
Sweet little mama, I wanna get next to you.

Chip away, chip away at the stone
’Cause I ain’t gonna stop till your love it my very own
Chip away, that's what I'm gonna do
Sweet little mama, I wanna get next to you.

Chip away, chip away at the stone
’Cause I ain’t gonna stop till your love it my very own
Chip away, that's what I'm gonna do
Sweet little mama, I wanna get next to you.

  1. A.... B....

    Awesome

  2. j.... ....

    While I prefer the original Aerosmith version (Tyler's delivery and the Stonesy vocal harmonies can't be beat), this is certainly a very respectable take. Marriott makes it his own by adding an interesting jazzy chord at the end of each verse that isn't in the original. Cool!

  3. U.... ....

    Humble Pie - Chip Away the StoneはGo For The Throat に収録されているんだよね。

  4. J.... S....

    this song rocks!

  5. J.... J....

    NOT AN AREOSMITH SONG!!!!

    J.... J....

    Of course it's an Aerosmith song. It was written for them by their friend Rick Supa, and released by them as a single in 1978, three years before Humble Pie covered it.

    got to met Steve Marriot...was like 83/84. meant alot to me.

  7. J.... I....

    The song was a regular part of the setlist in Aerosmith concerts in 1978. This Song was wrote by Supa for Aerosmith, so friend´s band. Aerosmith included this song at Live Bootle 1978, and later, the version of studio in 1988 from the album Gems.

    Humble Pie covered the song on their 1981 album Go for the Throat. Much later than aerosmith.

  8. R.... D....

    @FelicianB This song wasn´t written by Humplie pie.

  9. 1.... ....

    Yeah FelicianB I always thought that Ritchie Supa wrote this for Aerosmith... I didnt realize that Humble Pie did it before A-Smith...

    1.... ....

    They didn't. Aerosmith released it in 1978. Humble Pie covered it in 1981. The song was written for Aerosmith by their friend.

  10. F.... B....

    Haha I often end up facing the fact that some of my favourite songs are actually written by another band... Thin Lizzy -> Bob Seger, Aerosmith -> Humble Pie, GnR -> Rolling Stones & Aerosmith...

    Haha, but a great way to get to know "new" bands!
