| Peter Gabriel – Sledgehammer Lyrics
| 6 years ago
|
|
A sledgehammer is a versatile instrument. It can split wood, knock down walls, pound steel. In fact, it's hard to imagine a construction (or destruction) project that couldn't benefit with the help of a sledgehammer. In this sense, "I want to be your sledgehammer" is a sort of pick-up line: You can do or have anything and everything, because I can be anything and everything -- all for you. |

Great coming-of-age song. Ode to a misfit geek ("pimpled and angry") who discovers a latent aesthetic talent and artistic vision ("my favorite records"). Both somber ("the worthless dregs we are") and uplifting in an inspirational way ("Yeah, the trick is just making yourself"). |
