HEAVY CONSTRUCTION ©1995 Rich & Flo Newman (BMI)
Get's me so excited when I see 'em dig a hole
I get my kicks when they're moving that earth load
Are you building up or tearing down or don't you even know
Looks like one massive eruption
(Chorus)
Heavy ah ah, Heavy ah ah
Heavy, heavy construction
Heavy, heavy construction, heavy
Just call it hydrolic
I'm fanatic for pneumatic
That 4X sure makes me sigh
Tractor tread marks so dramatic
Heavy ...
Did you learn to do the backhoe from working on a farm
Seems that steam shovel's an extension of your arm
Were the sand castles and snow forts that we built as kids
Rehearsals for this production
Heavy ...
I peer from under cover when I'm in your blasting zone
I LOVE THE WAY YOU HANDLE DYNAMITE
So Iet's do the bedrock boogie when the other's have gone home
Could be my dream scene of seduction
Heavy ...

So let's do the bedrock boogie when the others have gone home
Let's shimmy on the shale 'til the whistle blows at dawn
This could be my dream scene of seduction
Heavy ...

Review quotes: By Barney Quick Indie-Music.com
"Heavy Construction" explores the titillation of watching a work crew ("I'm fanatic for pneumatic")".
Michelle Madelien - a fan 6 Apr 2000 "If you're taking any kind of survey, the song that we all found a-w-e-s-o-m-e, was #5 on side one. We all got off our butts and did some 'kickin-around' with the rhythm."
Music Street - "Heavy Construction:This composition has a harder edge than a lot of the album, but still maintains the unconventional nature that the rest of the disc has. "
Ben Ohmart @NZONE 10/98 - "Heavy Construction starts stomping like a blues crew that lost all their heartbreak.
Shane McLaughlin Northeast Performer May 1996
"Heavy Construction detailing a sexual fetish for earth moving equipment."
