The first strike of the hammer,
Made my heart beat faster
The right time to remind me
That there was something behind me

You can hear them, you can hear them banging on the tin
But my love won't be saved
We'll all be, staring at the wave, staring at the wave
Staring at the wave

They told me I wasn't everything
Before the bombs have been falling

I was a walking disaster

I know you hear [bad word]  I know you hear the sound
I know you feel [bad word]  don't let me get you down
You can hear them, you can hear them banging on the...
But my love won't be saved
We'll all be, staring at the wave, staring at the wave
Staring at the wave
I know you hear [bad word]
