Fox On The Run Lyrics

I - don't wanna know your name
'Cause you don't look the same
The way you did before
Okay - you think you got a pretty face
But the rest of you is out of place
You looked all right before

Fox on the run
You scream and everybody comes a running
Take a run and hide yourself away
(Foxy on the run)
Foxy, Fox on the run and hide away

You - you talk about just every band
But the names you drop are second hand
I've heard it all before
I - don't wanna know your name
'Cause you don't look the same
The way you did before

Fox on the run
You scream and everybody comes a running
Take a run and hide yourself away
(Foxy on the run)
Foxy, Fox on the run and hide away

About groupies. That's why they refer to "talking about every band. And the names you drop are second hand."

it's either a plastic surgery victim ("You looked all right before"), a newbie transvestite ("Okay - you think you got a pretty face/But the rest of you is out of place "), or a washed-up groupie ("you talk about just every band /But the names you drop are second hand ").
Or a surgically altered transvestite groupie. Yeah.

Either way, they don't write pop songs like this anymore. So sweet, you'll need a filling.

wow... and here was i thinking that "Ballroom Blitz" was their only good song! Man, everyone thinks of sweet as a one hit wonder band, but they had tons of good songs!

I think this beats 'Ballroom blitz'. I love this song better. It's got more glam rock too it with great vocals.

i think its about the morning after... at night, with beer goggles on, she looked fine, but the next day she's no fox.

@Jethroskynyrd - This sounds about right, haha! I was about 8yo when this was popular, my older brother told me it was about fox hunts (because the only real words I knew were about being on the run, the scream, etc). I believed him for the longest time! Rotten brother.

The song is about a prostitute. Dunno why she's referred to as a 'Fox On The Run' but the band says it's so.

Cover art for Fox On The Run lyrics by Sweet

I always kinda figured it was about some girl who suddenly found herself "popular," because she changed her ways. Now she's a stuck-up bitch who thinks she's better than everyone else and demands attention.

But that's just my guess. It kind of fits, but whatever.

Cover art for Fox On The Run lyrics by Sweet

Its about people that are fake.

Like "You looked okay before" and "You - you talk about just every band / But the names you drop are second hand / I've heard it all before"

Its just saying that he wants nothing to do with people that just tag along and that conform to their friends, not being their own person.

Deffinetly bout waking and hungover and thinking to yourself "holy shit, why?!?!" as you look who youre in bed with. No doubt.

Anyone else who thought they said "for fox sake" (for fuck sake) when they sing "f-foxy"??? I thought it was a fun joke so I still sing it.
