Not bad at all, good concept and fitted well into the short lyric - but 
the declamation-style of singing was a bit sort of 'hard' - all a bit 
frantic, fast. I think it would have been better taken with a bit more 
phrasing to the words.

The Strawbs 'Hangman and the Papist' comes to mind as a song with same 
kind of metre and present-tense narrative, and this one done in more 
that mode would be impressive. There's no real shiver in this rendition 
although it is Trevor's own song and his own delivery.
