Guest guest Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 Hi, Colleen: There are some sound clips for Eye of the Hunter by M.U.S.E. - Musicians United to Sustain the Environment at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/muse2. I'm including the lyrics for a great song by Jez Lowe & the Bad Pennies off Lowe's " Honesty Box " CD. It really has to be heard to be appreciated - & I believe you can do so through his site at http://www.jezlowe.com or http://www.tantobie.com, but for some reason I can't connect at the moment.

The song was inspired by news stories about badger-baiting, a blood sport, where dogs are pitted against badgers in a fight to the death or near death. Because the practice is illegal in the UK, the loser's body is often thrown on a roadway to disguise the criminal evidence as road kill. The day had been just one big sleep, now the night was one big fear, Trouble might be my business, but it had no business being here, Some cubs were high on pesticide and a few too many truffles, Along the way, there'd been fowl play, and some chicks got their feathers ruffled. These woods are like a circus now, this forest is like a zoo, And when the fur starts flying, then it's me they all come to. CHORUS But nobody's not seen nothing, so I'd best be on my way, If anyone asks who was that in the mask, you'll hear the folks all say, It was the Lone Badger. There goes the Lone Badger. It must've been around midnight, I forget as time goes by, News came round that Furry Grey had picked tonight to die. Now Furry was a friend of mine, and I'd seen him earn his stripes, It didn't seem right that some truck in the night should knock the wind out of his pipes. By the time I reached that roadside, it was half a tail's shake later, A Brush on the beat was sweeping up, and I asked about spectators. Next day I drank with the smart set, when a black Maltese bird crowed, She said, Halfway down the highway more fresh flesh lay on the road. A no-good dog we'd seen around the barns and farmyard gates, Had met his end on a hare-pin bend and was in one sorry state. We'd all of us seen roadkill and lost friends beneath fast wheels, But cars with jaws full of teeth, and claws, that's one suspicious deal. So I sniffed around where Furry spent the night that was his last one, And of all the barns in all the farms, I had to walk into that one. There was blood upon that dusty floor, a few coins weren't hard to find, There were boot prints circled round and round, There was fear inside my mind. I could almost hear their voices and their dogs half mad with rage, Still I see the fear in Furry's eyes as I weep upon this page. Is it fodder for your traffic or sport to quench your thirst for blood? Who's to know the difference through the maggots and the mud? Now the Copse is asking questions and the forest's all a-buzz, They're asking when the likes of them will respect the likes of us, But the day has been just one big sleep, now the night is one big fear, Trouble might be my business, but it has no business being here.
