Foxhole Lyrics
Soldier boy stands at a full salute
He wants your orders to excute
Send him out - 'neath the
screaming red lights
In a narrow ditch for the funny fights
Foxhole, foxhole
Too much danger
Foxhole, foxhole
Where's my guardian angel - oh no
You showed me the war
I don't know what for
You showed me the war
But the war is such a bore
In the line of duty, in the line of fire
A heartless heart - is my proper attire
Chorus
The flashing sword has been explored
The perfect slice - perfect slice of life
I feel the shells hit - Moonlight web
Goodbye arms, so long head
Chorus
Hello guardian angel
You pin me down, go ahead it's a cinch
You pin me down, you'll feel the pinch
I was trained for the fights
Foxhole, foxhole...........
He wants your orders to excute
Send him out - 'neath the
screaming red lights
In a narrow ditch for the funny fights
Too much danger
Foxhole, foxhole
Where's my guardian angel - oh no
I don't know what for
You showed me the war
But the war is such a bore
A heartless heart - is my proper attire
The flashing sword has been explored
The perfect slice - perfect slice of life
Goodbye arms, so long head
Hello guardian angel
You pin me down, you'll feel the pinch
I was trained for the fights

Unlike Television's usual stuff, this song is pretty straightforward lyrically, I think.
yes, perhaps deceptively so... maybe thats because i thought he was saying "world" instead of "war". He could be playing on this homophone... he does this quite a lot, I had a completely different set of lyrics in my head for "There's a Reason".
These lyrics are very straight forward actually. Tom Verlaine does play on those homonyms though. In Elevation he goes from saying "Elevation" to "T-elevation" to "Television".
