Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

Heel Of The Hunt

Big trouble little china – two, three, come four

Say one, say do you, say three, come on gotta say four

What you thinking, don’t make me laugh, might die of laughter in my grave

Don’t make me, don’t make me

Oh please don’t abuse me

Please don’t accuse me

Oh please excuse me

Oh come on just amuse me

But don’t make me laugh (be at peace now)

Ah, don’t make me laugh (be at peace now child)

A lone ranger everyone could be

Their best friend though stranger to thee

Every legend something for light reading

Look for the brother’s grimm inside me

Don’t make me laugh (be at peace now)

Don’t make me laugh (be at peace now child)

Too much jollity round here

I got nothing left to fear

Somehow I often miss the edge

But it’s the chase that turns me on

The heel of the hunt (be at peace now)

It’s the heel of the hunt (be at peace now child)

The heel of the hunt

Tonto was no fool though much decried

Silver heels came through tested and tried

Don’t make me laugh (be at peace now)

Oh please, don’t make me laugh (be at peace now child)

Never make me smile, love (be at peace now),

Don’t ever make me laugh

Oh please don’t make me smile my love (be at peace now)

Oh please don’t make laugh

Try to amuse me

Never excuse me

Above all never abuse me

Don’t ever accuse me

Cos I don’t do nothing but laugh (be at peace now)

At the heel of the hunt

All the hounds are villains all the unforgiven

The heel of the hunt

All the hounds are villains

They can never be forgiven

Will gather together (be at peace now)

Telling you now my child

You may run with the fox, you may run with the hounds

They don’t know it child (be at peace now child)

You must always run with the foxes, still run with the hounds

They won’t know it child (be at peace now child)

Only difference is they hunt in packs (be at peace now)

Be at peace now, cos they hunt in packs (be at peace now)

They hunt in packs, be at peace now, hunt in packs

Hunt in packs

Be at peace now

They hunt in packs

Be at peace now

They hunt in packs.
