A modern-day take on the folk tradition on poaching songs.

lyrics

POACHER
SETTING MY SNARE ON A WEB OF DECEIT
SUGESTIONS WILL CLOSE YOU DOWN
I’M THE KEEPER OF FEAR AND OF HATE OF LIES
I’M A BANDIT IN SILCON TOWN
YOU’LL NEVER KNOW WHERE I’M LURKING MY DEAR
I HUNT IN THE SHADOWS AT NIGHT
I WON’T TAKE MY EYES OFF THE PRIZE FOR THE SIZE OF THE PLUNDER WILL BRING GREAT DELIGHT

CHORUS

WAITING IN THE DARK, WHAT DO I SEE
A PAIR OF PLUMP BIRDS JUST WAITING FOR ME
I’M SO EXCITED I BREAK INTO SWEAT YOUR STUPID AND GREEDY
YOU DESERVE WHAT YOU GET
I’VE A TALENT FOR PHISHING AND DANGLING LINES AND I KEEP WHAT I FIND IN MY POCKETS
IF I STAY IN DISGUISE, I’LL COME BACK FOR YOUR EYES
I MIGHT JUST COME BACK FOR THE SOCKETS


CHORUS

HERE’S THE TWIST IN THE TALE I’M THE POACHER OF NEW
I PRAY ON THE WEAK AND INFIRM
THE WORDS THAT I WRITE WILL TAKE ALL YOU’VE GOT
JUST READ THE BELOW AND CONFIRM
DEAR MR SIMPSON
I BRING YOU GREAT NEWS
A REBATE ON OVER PAID TAX
JUST ENTER YOUR DIGITS EXPIRY AND CODE
WE’LL SEND IT RIGHT OVER RELAX
