The Hunt
(Difford, Tilbrook)
B-side to Black Coffee In Bed , 1982
Give a man a gun, give him a cigar
He ll think about a shot sitting at a bar
Strip him of his clothes, stand him in the light
Sweat upon his brow, frightened by the sight
Draw him like a bow, aim him at the world
He pretends to know and then he ll swim up to the rocks
He ll be beaten by the fox
Give a man a drink, give a man the time
Drink into his thoughts bottled up inside
He ll tell a few jokes, stumble in the dark
Trips upon the stairs, he s fallen apart
Draw him like a bow, aim him at the world
He pretends to know and then he ll swim up to the rocks
He ll be beaten by the fox
(instrumental w/guitar solo)
Beaten by the fox (repeat til fade)
