That was pretty clear to me from first reading the lyrics. He comes up with his Art and when it's ready he gives it to "them" to make more money with it.
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:)
I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home

Simple and brief!  Please make this song as the opening song for the concerts.

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
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"

Melody on the verse is the same as I Want Candy by Bow Wow Wow.

Just saying. :)

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

I see mighty Bob singing this.  :hmm :wave
But all these songs grow on me, that is sure.

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.
