| Sepultura – The Hunt (New Model Army cover) Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I always thought that this song was about revenging police brutality. One of your cronies, he was doing your rounds-Doing rounds sounds like things police do, like patrolling the city. There are lasses getting trouble on their own home beat There are old folk battered in the open street-A beat is an area and time a police patrols an area. Not everybody passes on the other side- the other side of the law, like citizens vs police. No police, no summons, no courts of law No proper procedure, no rules of war No mitigating circumstance No lawyers fees, no second chance This is expressing how they can fight, because police always have the advantage of the system. And we could spent our whole lives waiting For some justice to be done Unless we make our own This verse is about how no one else wants to put this person to justice, or is willing to. Generally, police and government officials want to catch mafiosos or drug lords, so this would make more sense if it was a police officer. I can see the entire drug dealer thing, but I feel like this makes some more sense. Also, the song Manifest is about the same thing, on the same album, and yes I realize it's a cover from New Model Army. Police brutality was bad in Brazil when Sepultura was writing, and in England when New Model Army was writing, especially under Thatcher. |

| Crass – Shaved Women Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I agree with GlascowRanger and kinkedmoose, and I'm not saying I know everything. But to me, the screaming babies bit means that the act of shaving to make desirable can end up causing screaming babies (all babies scream). It causes it because they are desirable and have sex, and often babies scream when they are hungry or unprovided for, so it could mean that with desirability they lure men in, but the men don't stick around to care for the children. | |

Well, other comments have established that this is a real story. http://www.bigthings.ca/alberta/reddeer.html "Francis sounds like a pig's name to me," Yes, also, there was a famous english philosopher named Francis Bacon. Wonder if that's why we name pigs francis. Bacon. |
