LYRICS
The trapper man’s in from the hinterlands
Filth and grease on his clothes and hands
From the outermost, the farthermost
Comes riding in to the trading post
Got a pack horse loaded up with hides
Steps in to see the man inside
‘I got furs, skins, a little meat too
Here, I got a good piece just for you’
Mmm Yeah
‘You take this home to give the wife’
The trapper draws his skinning knife
Now the fat man’s desk is a butcher’s block
The trapper cuts the meat and talks
‘You’re gonna lose your shirt on a nowhere man
Lose your shirt in nowhere land
Back out there is my country
And you best let this trapper be the trapper
You need the trapper man
The trapper man
If you don’t want to be where lightning strikes
Better let me work the way I like
You don’t want to know how I fill my sacks
You go out there you don’t come back
You got nature red in tooth and claw
And you ain’t got no rule of law
And if you don’t know nature’s way
All that’s gonna stop you being the prey is the trapper
You need the trapper man
The trapper man
You wanna wear them gems and rings
You wanna show off them shiny things
Shake your money maker, bro
Where the movers and the shakers go
You wanna go do what you do
Let the gold and silver come to you
So leave the dirty work to me
So you best let this trapper be the trapper
You need the trapper man
The trapper man
When he’s done his thing and gone his way
The fat men light cigars and say
“Holy smokes did you see that?
We all made money on the trapper cat”
Sit back in their big ass chairs
Say, “Boys, that is the man right there”
I’m the lifeline for your big soft ass
It’s the trapper puts it in first class, the trapper
You need the trapper man
The trapper man

Hudson Bay Company was one of such early outfits that rose into power mostly thanks to trapping and fur industry. There were many people that became rich and "fat" thanks to these guys out there on the land, the trappers. As usual with MK, the double meaning of the song could be how some manage to raise to power and take advantage of the folks that work hard with their bare hands, a lower working class so to speak. The two last verses are the best indication of that. "I’m the lifeline for your big soft ass. It’s the trapper puts it in first class"
However, as the lyrics say, trappers need to sell their goods too to survive. So "I need you but you need me ". Also, trappers love what they do, they wouldn't like to do anything else, so "you better let this trapper be a trapper".
Anyway, just my first thoughts. I can relate to this story seeing it happen every day. We haven't changed since ancient times.

Literally taken, it could be about the pioneer times in North America when trapping and fur trade was the main industry during the early exploration of the northern frontier. Trappers would be out in the wilderness (hinterlands) for several months and would only come back to civilization to sell their pelts at trading posts which were usually established in remote areas. Being a trapper required a stamina and huge experience in living out on the land. An inexperienced person would perish within days exposed to elements and the wildlife. You had to be tough, or you needed a trapper man to survive. Trapping is still a way of life in northern Canada where I live. Fur industry is still very much alive and it is a legitimate industry supported by the local government. There are still many trappers out there in small, mostly aboriginal communities across the North, and the wilderness is as unforgiving as it was 200 years ago.

Otherwise JF and Rail King totally failed to describe this gem. Totally phantastic Dire Straitish, fresh, enercetic. HIS voice gives me shivers all over.
Would have loved to hear this properly on the Radio without any knowing ... legendary MK remembrance moment forever.
Perfect Live Opener. Lovely break.
Oh yes, fucking nice guitar.. nice guitar.
Comparable from the impact with This Is Us.
Very nice piano on it.

I know little about Springsteen but it’s reminiscent of his sound that I got from my first listen.
It's MK trademarked but I hear americana all over it.
Apart from Springsteen also a lot of John Hiatt.

I don't hear any sax, trumpet and trombone on this track. The track must be 6.00 long, it is 5.30 now. Maybe some small part missing?
Room for some good soloing at the end of this. Potentially a great live song...

And I know that the song would be a million times better without this squeaky disturbing organ. You literally can take it out and nothing will change, will only get better. I know you can't undo it, but it only makes it worse, like watching a friend fighting and not being able to help.

Oh please, I am just joking and can't say thank you enough for the effort you did over the weeks for us. It's just that I am overwhelmed pretty much by this song and you sounded pretty cool about it. Same as Rail King. But that's the fun with different point of views. You and quizzaciously, for example I would call "Chord Men", you listen to music in a total different manner than I do.

It was on Who's Your Baby Now the first time, it was on Punish The Monkey and on We Can Get Wild and culminated on Beryl and I know exactly what you mean. I hated it every single time and wondered what it was good for.. seems Guy is really trying to put a trade mark on it.

Making music, being creative and producing stuff is a magical process, saying that these guys don’t ‘understand’ your organ point of view is nonsense, besides that they really don’t care what you think and they shouldn’t. BIA has a lot of aweful sounds yet it sold quite well. They liked it, they thought it was right ao they kept the organ in the mix. MK has lots of songs with proper Hammond parts, listen to those if you don’t like this one.Yes but try to live with it. It's not worth spoiling the fun.

Slow down, TheTimeWasWrong, I get your point, too. I hate when people tell me that Mark don't care about something, as if I don't know.
I rarely rely (that's a cool phrase, isn't it?) on subjective viewpoint, I keep things objective. Organ part is objectively annoying.
Brothers In Arms uses the actual technology of the 80s and is now considered old school. It doesn't mean that it's awful.

Exactly! The song is very good, but those organs... very irritating.
Post by: vr46mk on November 10, 2018, 10:09:45 AM
Probably they play these songs there before release to tempt people to buy / pre-order the album. If you pre order tickets in the US you get a copy of the album, so maybe this is another step to try to reach out to all possible customers like with the ticket pre-sale offer... guess the market is tougher over there to sell Knopfler's things? On the other hand several shows fully booked already...

I sense Tom Petty's influences in this one. It might become my second favorite MK album right behind STP.
I think this one may become my favorite, because this album represents a totally new approach, not just variations on the same theme. Of the eight songs, not everything is top-shelf material, but I like and enjoy everything. Really, everthing. Excited to hear the remaning five from the regular disc.

Really great song in my opinion. Classic MK guitar sound, the slightly melancholic vocal lines give me remind of Metroland, and it overall reminds me of the feeling What It Is, Darling Pretty and alike gave me the first time I heard them. Had never expected MK to make another song like this and for me up there as one of the best openers in years. Absolutely don't mind the organ at all too. Instant classic imo, and hope to hear it live.
+ 1000 :thumbsup

Seeing himself as a Trapper Man, hunting for songs maybe ;D, gives me a slightly strange feeling about how much as a loner MK sees himself... I get more and more the opinion that everyone out there, business, other musicians, fans, world, seems bad and he only feels safe when behind the walls of his fortress British Grove with Sir Guy on his side..

Mark Knopfler - Trapper Man. I like it:)
Simple and brief! Please make this song as the opening song for the concerts.

The actual lyric is:
"Let the gold and silver come to you
So leave the dirty work to me"
However, the lyric printed on the official MK website is:
"Let the gold and silver come to you
I need you but you need me"

Just saying. :)

Melody on the verse is the same as I Want Candy by Bow Wow Wow.
Just saying. :)
But it has tasty licks. ;) :P

Well that's some insane observation. Looked up this song on YouTube and the most popular comment made me laugh:

The "bad" songs from the 80s are better than the "good" songs of today.

Has anyone else noticed there is a different lyric to 'Trapper Man' on the official MK website?
The actual lyric is:
"Let the gold and silver come to you

However, the lyric printed on the official MK website is:

I did.
Many many many pages ago... ;)

Looks like the wild west but you're only 65 miles from me! Hope you're having a nice time and enjoying the good weather.
