Axe Grinder Lyrics

Axe Grinder lyrics

My edge is keen and I've honed my skill.

I've got nerves of steel and an
iron will.

My skin is bronze, my trim is chrome,

Climb aboard -
I'll drive you home.

I'm a silver - tongued devil with a heart of
gold,

When I was made they broke the mould.

My blood runs hot, like
molten lead,

Pump you full - I'm gonna knock you dead.



I
don't mince words, I spit'em out.

I won't leave room for any doubt.

Get to the point, stop splitting hairs

That ain't getting either of us
anywhere.

Sometimes it's better to be blunt

But is this some kind of
publicity stunt?

So far you've whet my appetite,

Do you wanna grind
with me tonight?



Axegrinder. I'm not famous for my tact.

Axegrinder. I've gotta sharpen up my act.

Axegrinder. Try and see
things through my eyes.

Everything and everyone gets cut back down to
size.



On the brink of who knows what?

We've gotta strike
while the iron's hot.

l can hold your hand, try to guide you through

But I can't make your moves for you.

Swing my blade - that's how it's
done.

Don't stop me now, I've only just begun.

I was told when I
was young

I wouldn't work in an iron lung.

Now I've learned a trick
of two.

I'm working up a sweat for you.
