Man Trap

Man Trap

G.b.h
(album: City Baby Attacked By Rats)

They´re always stealing off the land, the Earl has to take his final stand.
Build a device to catch them all, I don´t give a damn if they say they´re poor.

If you get caught there´s no going back, it´s a man trap.
The jaws of his baby tightly snap, it´s a man trap.

He´s old and wicked and he hates the world, he´s wicked as sin, his mind is gnarled.
He´s got plenty but he doesn´t care, and to ask for help they wouldn´t dare.

A wall heath man with his wife to keep, did his duty and stole a sheep.
Refused to grovel, he refused to beg, stepped on the trigger and lost his leg.

Deported abroad and is long since dead, the gamekeeper´s found without his head.
His body was torn like tissue paper, a hidden peg-leg found years later.
