Cover art for Sledgehammer lyrics by Peter Gabriel

Wow, It never occurred to me that this song would be about sex, but now that I think about it, it really does make sense.

Before I read everyone's comments about the blatant sexual innuendo that I somehow missed, I thought that this song meant that he would become the driving force to totally change some girl's life. Like a sledgehammer, he would break up and shake up her personality and view on life.

I thought my meaning was awfully profound but hey, if it's just about sex, then I guess that's cool too.
