the longest johns - drop the hammer lyrics

[chorus]
drive the wedge and drop the hammer
knock ’em down and split the stone
million years and more it’s lain
to build our churches, streets and homes
drive the wedge and drop the hammer
heave ’em up and haul ’em in
ev’ry block a new reminder
where we are and where we’ve been

[verse 1]
from the moorlands, coves and harbours
fashioned at the sea’s command
walk the beaches, climb thе cliff face
through the door and cross the sand

[chorus]
drivе the wedge and drop the hammer
knock ’em down and split the stone
million years and more it’s lain
to build our churches, streets and homes

[verse 2]
where’d you get that grand cathedral?
what a sight your mighty halls
took apart this st+rdy coastline
for to build your city’s walls
[chorus]
drive the wedge and drop the hammer
knock ’em down and split the stone
million years and more it’s lain
to build our churches, streets and homes
drive the wedge and drop the hammer
heave ’em up and haul ’em in
ev’ry block a new reminder
where we are and where we’ve been

[bridge]
steady now! hey!
hit ‘er back! hey!
drive ‘er in! hey!
smash ’em! hey!
steady now! hey!
hit ‘er back! hey!
drive ‘er in! hey!
smash ’em! hey!

[verse 3]
and it’s ev’ry year (hey!) it wears away (hey!)
and time enacts (hey!) its creeping dance (hey!)
storms and waves (hey!) against the rock face (hey!)
crumbles in to the expanse
hey!
[chorus]
drive the wedge and drop the hammer
knock ’em down and split the stone
million years and more it’s lain
to build our churches, streets and homes
drive the wedge and drop the hammer
heave ’em up and haul ’em in
ev’ry block a new reminder
where we are and where we’ve been

[outro]
steady now! hey!
hit ‘er back! hey!
drive ‘er in! hey!
smash ’em!
