The Lion is a Lazy Hunter

from Conquest by Black Hay

lyrics

There can be no regard for the weak or the young - the lion is a lazy hunter
There is room in the jungle for only the one - the lion is a lazy hunter
He only knows what he wants one day at a time
The only rule he has is 'what's yours is mine'

The lion is a lazy hunter
All he ever says is 'come on over to my place'

He's got the territory and a pride to defend - the lion is a lazy hunter
He takes what he wants then goes to sleep again - the lion is a lazy hunter
When the others go hungry he don't give a shit
He only knows what he wants when someone's after it

The lion is a lazy hunter
All he ever says is 'come on over to my place'

The fields are bleeding again
The herd is out but he just sits still
He'll send everyone else in
Then take the biggest share of the kill

There can be no regard for the weak or the young - the lion is a lazy hunter
There is room in the jungle for only the one - the lion is a lazy hunter
It's an empty crown that he has to defend
The ladies do all of the work for him

The lion is a lazy hunter
All he ever says is 'come on over to my place'
All he ever says is 'come on over to my place'
All he ever says is 'come on over'
All he ever says is 'come on over'
All he ever says is 'come on over to my place'

Black Hay London, UK

Black Hay is the project of London-born Gideon K and a motley crew of collaborators.

Previously described as "Worse than Leonard Cohen", Black Hay's music has gone from noirish garage rock, to grungey alt-country low-rock, via DIY house-bound balladry, to a current incarnation of cold-hearted post-punk indie synth-tronica.

The new single 'Always Be Mine' is out now. ... more
