This song is from the point of view of a character who hunts foxes but has to stop, when it’s banned.
In a blog post Little Comets said that,
We had
written this song in about 5 minutes a couple of weeks earlier and it was from
the point of view of a character. He basically loved fox hunting but h...
[Chorus]
I’ll never get caught hunting
I do it on a Sunday
Go out in the west end
I do it with my best friends
It feels so fucking good
To be misunderstood
So even when confronted
I’ll never get caught hunting
[Verse 1]
Last night we found a child
He came from E9
Dressed him up as a fox
Took off his hope and socks
We made him look a fool
Burnt A&E and closed his school
Got bored so privatized the homeless
[Chorus]
I’ll never get caught hunting
I do it on a Sunday
Go out in the west end
I do it with my best friends
It feels so fucking good
To be misunderstood
So even when confronted
I’ll never get caught hunting
[Verse 2]
I do it to myself
It’s for the common good
I live in the Ladbroke Grove
But I think it’s Hollywood
I do the same each time
That you let me
You’re just a part of
My hegemony
[Chorus]
I’ll never get caught hunting
I do it on a Sunday
Go out in the middle of the west end
I do it with my best friends
It feels so fucking good
To be misunderstood
So even when confronted
I’ll never get caught hunting
