Thick Necked Man

"Thick-Necked Man" by Benjamin Darvill We’re talkin’ ’bout a thick neck man in the city Build a pub a blood and sweat Swears by God he’ll stand by justice He ain’t stood by justice yet He gets them drunk and he gets their money They cash the welfare checks for stout Now he throws them out into the street He sucked you in he’ll spit you out This blood-minded son of a bitch Will not a penny lend And all I can do is pray to God He’ll suffer in the end We’re talkin’ ’bout a thick necked man in a three piece Killing from his office desk The many places he has been And many more he’ll visit yet Without his mommy’s pride and kisses Without his country’s confidence Without the dying man’s permission Without no guilt on consequence This bloody-minded son of a bitch Has no a wound to mend And all I can do is pray to God he’ll Get one in the end Now we’re talkin’ ’bout a thick necked man in a fist fight Losing lots of blood It’s not his night his boss is uptight And his face and name are covered in mud He watches TV all star wrestling Slams a six of ale Hits his wife and wrecks the car And spends a long dark night in jail Well the Preacher man he comes and asks him Does he know what mess he’s in He says he’ll turn to Jesus if he’ll Bail him out and buy him gin This bloody-minded son of a bitch Has not a son to mend And all I can do is pray to God He’ll get one in the end Let him get one.......... And all I can do is pray to God He’ll get one in the end ------------------------------- Typed by (X-tremly weird) Harry

La chanson évoque un homme au cou épais qui abuse de sa position dans la société pour profiter des plus vulnérables. Il semble incarner l’injustice, trompant ceux qui l'entourent tout en jurant de défendre les droits des autres. Son comportement égoïste l'amène à manipuler les ivrognes, à dérober leurs ressources et à les rejeter sans scrupules. L’auteur s'interroge sur la moralité de cet homme, exprimant même le souhait qu'il fasse face à ses conséquences, tout en vérité, en priant pour que justice soit rendue. Le contexte met en lumière des thèmes de lutte sociale, de corruption et des luttes personnelles au sein d’une société où des figures d'autorité peuvent abuser de leur pouvoir sans conséquence apparente. Cela souligne souvent la détresse des individus piégés par des systèmes injustes et les questions sur la rédemption possible, même pour ceux qui semblent sans espoir.
