A Hammer Lyrics - Everybody Down - Kate Tempest

Dale was Pete's Mum's new boyfriend's son 

He had a mouth that was too small for his toungue 

Teeth like a ladder that was missing a rung 

Chin looked like it was trying to run 

He had a laugh like a car crash 

Eyes like... Pot holes in tarmac 

Complexion the colour of chewed up bar snacks 

Kinda guy spend his whole life getting laughed at 

When all you've got is a hammer, everything looks like nails 

If you bow to the hand that damns ya, everything fails 

The things you do, do you 

The plans you hatch, hatch monsters 

Unless you watch your moves 

Your own fists will knock you unconscious

Pete took him to the pub and the conversation dragged 

So Pete got pissed, pretty soon he had more than his usual 

Approaching legless 

He found himself opening up 

I got to get this off my chest, he said 

With his head in his hands 

I got this girlfriend but I can't stand the way things are going 

Right, she's got this job but I don't like it 

It pisses me off! 

I don't even know what we're fightin' for but these days 

Me and her, we are fightin' more than I'd like 

And then out comes the white and Dale looks at him in the clinical light of the toilets 

"Why what does she do?" 

Pete looks at his shoes and says "She's a masseuse" 

(Pete) "You could call her up, you could book a session 

You could push her, see if she responds and then 

You can tell me everything and we will both see that I was wrong 

To have ever doubted that she would be anything but the mother of 

Pure modesty cause I know she loves me, she just does this to pay the bills 

And to exist in a way that will give her the means to live for for than a dull routine" 

Dale nods 

Bells ring in Pete's head 

But he looks at Dale: those clumsy legs, that sunken chest, that spotty neck 

This is the perfect man to do the test
