lyrics
Well i thought our prayers were answered In 2004
When Tony Blair decreed you couldn't hunt for me no more
But posh folk on their horses simply won't agree
And still insist on sending out their hounds to murder me
So i'll run,I'll run for my life
Yes i still run ,Still running for my life
And their hounds they must sensed me
As i hear them in full cry
So i'd better get me skates on ,or today's the day I'll die
They chase me across the countryside at an unrelenting pace
Corner me,tear me to shreds,smear blood across their face
So i'll run,I'll run for my life
Yes i still run ,Still running for my life
What have I done to deserve this
The hunt's a tradition we wouldn't miss
Cause i won't snatch away your new born child
And i won't kill your cat
And it's not my fault your dog likes rolling round where i've just shat
And I think my tail looks better round my arse than round your neck
And you know it too, you pompous git , no need to double check
And So i'll run,I'll run for my life
Yes i still run ,Still running for my life
Yes I love the Sab's,their on our side ,their doing all they can
But it must be so frustrating knowing the cops don't give a damn
The police side with the huntsman ,almost each and every time
Because being torn apart by snarling teeth ain't such a crime
And obviously being on their side must have more pro's than con's
But i bet their attitude would change if they started hunting swans
So i'll run,I'll run for my life
Yes i still run ,Still running for my life
What have I done to deserve this
The hunt's a tradition we wouldn't miss
Cause i won't snatch away your new born child
And i won't kill your cat
And it's not my fault your dog likes rolling round where i've just shat
And I think my tail looks better round my arse than round your neck
And you know it too, you pompous git , no need to double check
So i'll run,I'll run for my life
Yes i still run ,Still running for my life
So I still run .......still running for my life.

the album has thoughtful lyrics beautiful tunes and ends with my favourite tract a bar at the end of the world ... every track flows nicely to the next love it all marian holding
I love all the songs on this album. They hit you in the feels every one of them in different ways. Break the Bottle is close to home and gets me big time. If you can't listen to 'If Home is Where the Heart is' and sing along at the top of voice with joy in your heart, you are dead inside. Lisa Black
The new EP from Scottish songwriter Alec Bowman_Clarke goes deep, setting vulnerable lyrics to gentle melodies & stripped-back arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 30, 2021
Alec Bowman perfectly captures the dark soil under the pastoral world of British folk with this collection of melancholy originals. Bandcamp New & Notable May 12, 2020
Great album. Almost a blend of Old Style and New Style Gaz. Delighted to have seen him perform two of the tracks live at Glastonbury. His performance was better than ever, and the songs are right up there with his best. matsan66
