Reynard The Fox Lyrics

Lyric discussion by tunemeister 

Cover art for Reynard The Fox lyrics by Julian Cope

This is a wild song on what might be Julian's most drug-influenced album. The lyric goes back and forth between the point of view of the fox and a human's point of view, presumably Julian's. "Reynard" is French for "fox."

From Julian's autobiography, the last bit of this refers to an incident when Julian--"fried" on drugs on stage--actually poked a hole in his stomach on stage with a mic stand, literally sickening some members of the audience when his blood poured out on the stage!

"Reynard" is French for "fox" because of a series of stories about a trickster fox named Reynard. They are neat.
