The first strike of the hammer Made my heart beat faster The rat-tat to remind me That there was something behind me You can hear them You can hear them banging on the tin But my love won't be saved We'll all be staring at the wave They told me I wasn't anything Before the bombs started falling I was a fee for the master I was a walking disaster I know you hear it coming I know you hear the sound I know you feel it coming Don't let it get you down You can hear them You can hear them banging on the tin But my love won't be saved We'll all be staring at the wave But my love won't be saved We'll all be staring at the wave
