lyrics

10 Blind Men With Hammers. 2’35
A poem about my fingers.
Words & Music by Roger Gregg. 2011.

Smashing, crashing, mayhem n’ clamour
10 Blind men swinging their hammers.

Clumsy and blunt, gruff and crude
Always rough, never smooth.
No poise or flair. No precision or grace.
Even standing still they wreck the place.

One played tennis with a child’s balloon
Took a wide swing in a narrow room.
Broke his bone as he hit the wall
bent ever since never stood tall.

The Boss tries to lead but no one obeys.
His pointing is pointless.
he don’t know the way.
Hopeless inept, fixed in a line
Can’t march in step, can’t step in time.

The three on the end are frozen and cold.
They’re swinging is slower, they’re gettin’ old.
Twitchy n’ itchy, always in haste
Together forever chained at the waist.

Things get broken as they push and shove
I’ve heard tell they’re looking for love.
