about

Reprising the idea behind 'LABOUR (the cacophony)', fans lend their voices to accompany Paris Paloma in this reimagined version of her song 'hunter'.

lyrics

Ahhhh ahh ah ah
Ahhhh ahh ah ah

If I was easy to kill, you would have done it already

What was it that stayed my hand then?
With dagger held unsheathed
Blade pointing in its side
I’d been set upon by a predator
It was just looking for a meal
I saw ribs and fearful eyes

What is it that stays my hand now?
With so much misery
That I could mercifully put end to
For that animal I let slink off
Into the undergrowth, unscathed
Do I not fear death, but just pretend to?

For it was starving
It was hungry
But had eyes too close to let me
If you were easy to kill, I would have done it already

Ahhhh ahh ah ah
Ahhhh ahh ah ah

Plagued by phantom noises
That that skeletal beast
Was haunting all my steps

Questioning all my choices
With that dagger held unsheathed
I felt sick at my contempt

For you were lonely
You were like me
Like some outside force had sent me
If I was easy to kill, you would have done it already

Ahhhh ahh ah ah
Ahhhh ahh ah ah
Ahhhh ahh ah ah
Ahhhh ahh ah ah

(If I was easy to kill, you would have done it already)
You are at my feet and we’re by the fire
(If I was easy to kill, you would have done it already)
You’re a gentle beast and I’m alive
(If I was easy to kill, you would have done it already)
You are at my feet and we’re by the fire
(If I was easy to kill, you would have done it already)
You’re a gentle, purring beast and I’m alive
(If I was easy to kill, you would have done it already)
You are at my feet and we’re by the fire
(If I was easy to kill, you would have done it already)
You’re a healthy, gentle, purring beast and I’m alive
(If I was easy to kill, you would have done it already)
You are at my feet and we’re by the fire
(If I was easy to kill, you would have done it already)
You’re a healthy, gentle, purring beast and I’m alive

Ahhhh ahh ah ah
Ahhhh ahh ah ah
Ahhhh ahh ah ah
Ahhhh ahh ah ah

If you were easy to kill, I would have done it already
