Looks pretty right, another possibility is Pterostichus melanarius but I don't know if they occur where you are or not

Niger any time, I shoud say.

Thanks Trev & Philippe for confirming it as
P.niger.
Hoped it might be something else, but......

.
Philippe does the lyric from B.Dylan

mean something?
Tried delving into any Frank Zappa or Tom Waits?

Or should you wish to rattle the old Grey Matter then Joe Bonamassa is the guy to do that

Live streaming bellyup4blues is hard to beat, got it on at the moment.

You bet it does... like any poetry that's any good, it means just what you mean it to mean
But since you ask, to me, it is an occult way of saying
"Well, I try my best to me just like I am,
but everybody want you to be just like'em"
Cheers

OK, OK I should have written cryptic, I guess. Note, however, that I did NOT spell it with a capital O, like you did

Philippe
PS it's "to be just like..." of course, not "to me" ... Silly me!
