but at the same time i feel it is too personal - its Patrick's experience not mine and it makes me feel evil and invincible. Not one to play to friends/outloudx I completely agree. This is the only Patrick Wolf song that I skip over when I'm listening to him and others are in earshot.

I looovvee this song. It has so much strong emotion to it, and actually I love the recorder bit. Yes, when I first heard it/read the lyrics, I was a bit shocked, but I've gotten used to it... and it's just great. It's very straight-forward and honest, which is what I like about it. True, I don't think I'd blast that song throughout the house, but I definately would recommend it to friends who are just starting to find out about Patrick. I also love his vocal range on this song, and sometimes it gives me the chills.

I love this song. It really sticks out from other songs on the album. I think the lyrics are ambiguous, but disturbingly beautiful.
The lyrics in the second half remind me a little of the lyrics and subject matter in "Reel Around The Fountain" or "Handsome Devil" by the Smiths.

Childcatcher knocked me for six when I first heard it.
I've got no time for victims, and I don't think it was all that bad. If you can't run to save yourself, well, you deserve to be had.
I always find myself blanching at that line for the simple reason that, as a victim of sexual assault, this is a common attitude. It's one I held for a very long time myself. Now, I have no idea of Patrick's personal opinion, and I know better than to freak out over a song lyric, but, still. It's a bit harsh. Gives me the jitters.
Regardless: the fact that it draws such a deep emotional reaction really shows how fantastic it is.

As in the song is a story told from the perspective of "the Childcatcher" and the "victim" so to speak. So to be honest I'd imagine it's about as likely to be Patrick's real opinion as the idea that Antony Hopkins is a real homicidal cannibal.

Of course. I don't really believe that it was about Patrick's real opinions and victims. Gives me a bolt of blue, though.

Yeah understandable.
Sorry if that sounded a bit sharp.

Haha, don't worry about it at all. There are far harsher things can be said.

the childcatcher used to scare me a little, but always in a good way. i love the way it breaks down into a fairground style section and then goes totally intese drumbeats.

At first I wasn't sure what to think about it, but I like it very much now. Very emotional. Kudos to him for writing it.

This song doesn't scares me in the sense of just the thought of pedophelia....so many little kids today have their childhoods ruined...and the way he sings/screams it is so powerfully moving...I cry everytime...

I just love the way he sings The Childcatcher it's full of emotion and passion. All the different vocal tracks just blend in so well and the bit with the deep voice for the child catcher is great production

I wrote my English Language creative writing GCSE exam thing about this song...
Well I based it on this song.
It was a paedophile retelling his story,
I think it was pretty damn good!
