Massive Attack - The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game Lyrics






[Tracy Thorn]

Everyday brings change,and the world puts on a new face
Sudden things rearrange, and this whole world seems like a new place
Secretly i been tailing you
Like a fox that prays on a rabbitt
Had to get you and so i knew
I had to learn your ways and habits
Ooooooh, you were the catch that i was after
I looked up and i was in your arms and i knew that i was captured

What's this whole world comin to
Things just ain't the same
Any time the hunter gets captured by the game

I had to lay such a tender trap
Hoping you might fall into it
Love hit me with a sudden slap
One kiss and then i knew it
Ooooooh, my plans didn't work out like i thought
'Cause i had laid my trap for you but it seems that i got caught

What's this whole world comin to
Things just ain't the same
Any time the hunter gets captured by the game

Ah yeah, yeah yeah, hey yeah

  1. a.... ....

    Grace Jones has the definitive version of this song

  2. S.... ....

    One of my absolute favorite songs!

  3. R.... F....

    omg! finally found this song. a guy that worked with me at TGIFridays made me a mix cd and this was the best song on there. was looking at Grace Jones songs and saw the title and flew here! now gotta go back to Grace. thanks for posting!!

  4. C.... S....

    This one of those rare cases where the re-recording turned out to be better than the original version.

  5. J.... K....

    Is this the singer from the song “like the desert miss the rain” something the girl

    J.... K....

    Jack Knight everything but the girl. Yes

  6. Q.... 2....

  7. D.... W....

    I like this cover of the Marvelettes song.

  8. K.... 1....

    Bought the whole Batman Forever soundtrack for U2 and Seal this was a wonderful bonus track I fell for instantly.

  9. L.... ....

    One of my three favorite songs from Batman Forever, alongside Kiss from a Rose and Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me

    L.... ....

    What a killer soundtrack, right??

  10. e.... ....

    1:20 den sonrası pek hoş, gerçekten öyle...

  11. R.... D....

    I’d love to know if Smokey Robinson has heard this. Her voice is so warm and soulful.

  12. D.... P....

    I swear I thought this came from The Cowboy Bebop soundtrack cause a friend made me a mix CD of the soundtrack. This song was part of the mix.

    D.... P....

    How odd...

  13. B.... D....

    Que voz suave, sedutora, linda!

  14. J.... W....

    Damn, this is DOPE. I'm sad that I'm just now discovering it...

    J.... W....

    Batman Forever man!!!

    J.... W....

    Never too late

  15. t.... t....

    12 coglioni!!!

  16. D.... W....

  19. q.... h....

    A certain Naruto fic brought me here ͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡ °

    q.... h....

    Whats Naruto?

    q.... h....

    Jason Moonsmith A Japanese anime.

    q.... h....

    Winster Chesty I JUST READ THIS ONE. I’m glad I’m not the only one.

  20. B.... ....

    I'm very sad this song isn't on Spotify or SoundCloud 😩

    B.... ....

    Tell me about it, on iTunes you can't buy the song unless you get the entire batman forever soundtrack....

    B.... ....

    me too! I don't understand why not

    B.... ....

    Youtube to mp3

    B.... ....

    Yeah for real do youtube tp mp3 and downlad it right to the memory. I have tens of thosands of songs and albums, as well as audio books, lectures, podcasts, radio shows, YOU CAN OWN ANYTHING ON YOUTUBE

  21. a.... ....

    how different this sounds to the marvelettes version. I love variety, both sound lovely.

  22. I.... O....

    Tracey thorn has one of the most incredible voices in music, I've always loved her. So underrated

    I.... O....

    It's Orange! People value trash over class. Look at our society.

  23. B.... ....

    This is the theme of a seductress....I love it.

    B.... ....

    Bloombaby99 definitely!

  24. B.... ....

    I remember somebody uploaded a pole dancing video using this song and they did it justice. Thanks for this song.

  25. L.... B....

    laaaaaaarga vida a massive!!! qué bello trip hop!!!

  26. t.... ....

     Why this version of the song has not been an opening theme song for a James Bond movie is beyond me, the lyrics are perfect for one. 

    t.... ....

    @thepayne because it was in batman forever ;)

    t.... ....

    +Mindaugas Markevičius so it was 👍🏼

    t.... ....

    You should do it as a video.

    t.... ....

    It also fits the Bond world nicely too, as I'm a Bond fan myself. Would make a nice entry.

  27. J.... H....

    ... Name Taken...

  28. T.... M....

    and i love tracey thorn

  29. T.... M....

    sucks. what happened to pensive ..oh wait...this is British...

  30. O.... Z....

    perfect sound. break notes. acrid beauty

  31. J.... M....

    Best. Batman. Soundtrack. Ever.

  32. T.... ....

    I agree, I find the original boring and bland as if the instrumentation/vocals (while good quality as the marvelettes had a good unison of voices) and the theme of the song don't go together. thougha much more rare case sometimes covers surpass the original.

    T.... ....

    TarantulaCandy - Sometimes cover versions do surpass the original song, this is not one of those times. Tracie's voice doesn't approach the suggestive sexuality of Wanda Young's voice, sorry.

  33. T.... ....

    of course, just like praising shit just because of the names attached to it, not everything someone with talent does is a masterpiece or "the best" to use such idea to justify is more pathetic than pretending that which comes out of assholes is candy perfumed chocolate. cheers.

  34. M.... ....

    I'm so glad to discover that Tracey covered this Marvelettes song. I am huge fans of both "The Marvelettes" and "Everything but the Girl".

  35. p.... ....

    Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. So apparently the work of James Jamerson, Stevie Wonder & all the other great musicians who played on the original track, is marginal. Whatevah.

  36. T.... ....

    Marvelettes version is Garbage compared to this version. this version holds true to the lyrics, the marvelettes version sounds like a 4 bitches who have no idea how to be hunters and were told "ok sing this" and they had no idea what they were singing about from the vocals and the instrumental the marvelettes version is BLAND, with this version you can feel he actual chase. this version is iINFINTELY superior is not even funny.

    T.... ....

    TarantulaCandy - any psychoanalyst would Tell you that your usage of the word "bitches" in reference to women that you don't know shit about, reveals a deep seated hatred which deligitimizes your opinion, which is probably racist..... bitches?.....I mean really.

  37. p.... ....

    Think you're on the wrong side of history there...

  38. G.... ....

    this does

    G.... ....

    Ghadente a

  39. F.... I....

    Nothing tops the Marvelettes version.

    p.... ....

    p.... ....

    I agree with you, but one must admit that this is one killer song that never gets old, no matter who covers it!

  44. k.... ....
