A musical tribute to Swindon's Hammerman Poet, Alfred Williams.

lyrics

STEAM HAMMER FALLIN’ DOWN AGAIN
STEAM HAMMER PUSH THE PILE IN
MEASURED METRES IN THE SADDLE
STEAM IS POETRY IN MOTION NOW

SEALED LIFE INSIDE A FACTORY
INSIDE THE ONLY PLACE TO BE
‘TIL MINDS ARE RACING CYCLE FRENZY
HOOTER BLOWING STREET SERENITY

THE HAMMER MAN

HOT FORGED FROM IRON MEMORY
KINGS AND CASTLES FROM THE FOUNDRY
BOILERMAKER, FITTER, TURNER
PATTERN MAKER, COPPERSMITH AND ME

THE HAMMER MAN

HEAD OUT TOWARDS THE HILL AGAIN
THOUGHTS COLLECTED AND A SONG TO SING
POWER IN A BATTERY OF WORDS
OF TOWN AND COUNTRY MELODY

THE HAMMER MAN
GREAT WESTERN MAN OF POETRY
