Flotsam Jetsam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm here to show you.
I know your kind, I like you just fine,
Anyway I choose.
Hammerhead baby in plainsight, in lace and leather.
She wants me to feel just right,
Wants to get together.
I want to get to know you.
I'm hot, so give me what you've got,
My turn to go you.
Faster than the speed of light,
Wham bam! I thank you, or...
All night pounding away, with more ways to please me.
CHORUS
Love for the taking, she talks with her eyes,
Wants me to give her a ride.
Spellbound she takes me way deep inside,
Hammerhead baby tonight...Hold tight!
We're all alone, my love has grown,
My time to show you.
You're on your knees, you're ready to please,
Give me the Hammer...Head.
REPEAT VERSE I
CHORUS
The lyrics to Flotsam and Jetsam's song Hammerhead is about a confident, sexually empowered woman who catches the attention of the singer. He admits that he knows her type and likes her, regardless of her personality. The woman is described as a Hammerhead, wearing lace and leather, and wanting to get together with the singer. The singer is eager to impress her and prove himself to be a worthy partner. The chorus talks about the woman's desire to take control and be taken for a ride, with the singer being completely spellbound by her. In the end, they are left all alone, and the singer feels the love grow between them. The last line, "You're on your knees, you're ready to please, Give me the Hammer...Head," is a metaphor for the connection they share, which is exciting, intense and overwhelming.
