Steamhammer Sam Lyrics

Steamhammer Sam, who'd have guessed you'd be an unhappy man?
Why, only yesterday they sent the Man
To end it all with his masterplan

You used to work the hammer, steam hammer, the big steam hammer
Oh-oh, you had your tools and your silver spanner, your big spanner
They made you leave it and Sam, you can't believe it

Six a.m.
They get you started and you work ‘til ten,
You really sweat it, then you're back again,
With all the other guys, you don't notice them
'cause this is in your eyes…

You're on the hammer, the big steam hammer,
Oh-oh, you had your tools and your silver spanner, your big spanner
But then they made you leave it and Sam, you can't believe it

Oh, Steamhammer Sam, who'd have dreamed life could be so lonely? And now, you're in a jam, 'cause they took away your one and only,
They took your…

Steam hammer, your big steam hammer
Oh-oh, you hear the music on the radio and try to forget it
But the hammer took you over Sam, why did you let it now?

Steamhammer Sam, sits in the park all day
And he gets drunk
Watching the children play, it's very sad
Knowing the ending 'cause he went mad
It's never ending now…
He's in the slammer, the cold grey slammer
Oh-oh, he thinks of the days he worked the hammer, the big steam hammer
He laughs with all the boys but still he can't forget the noise

Na na na na…
