Fox On The Run
The Sweet Feat. Brian Connolly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause you don't look the same
The way you did before
OK 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
Take a run and hide yourself away
Fox on the run
F-foxy, foxy on the run and hideaway
You-you talk about just every band
But the names you drop are second hand
I've heard it all before
I don't want to know your name
'Cause you don't look the same
The way you did before
[Chorus]
The lyrics to the song "Fox On The Run" by The Sweet Feat. Brian Connolly is an interesting commentary on the superficial nature of relationships. The singer is essentially saying that he doesn't care about the girl's name because it's not important. He only cares about how she looks and how she presents herself to the world. The singer is essentially saying that the girl is a "fox on the run" because she is constantly trying to hide herself and make herself look better to others. She talks about other bands and tries to impress people with her knowledge of music, but it's all just a façade.
The chorus of the song reinforces the idea that the girl is trying to hide herself away from the world. The singer urges her to take a run and hide herself away because she is not being true to herself. The use of the phrase "foxy on the run" is an interesting play on words because on one hand, it can be interpreted as the girl being attractive and on the run, but on the other hand, it can also be interpreted as her trying to outrun her true self. Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of being too superficial and not being true to oneself.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't want to know your name
I do not wish to be acquainted with you
'Cause you don't look the same
As your appearance has changed
The way you did before
From when I saw you last
OK you think you got a pretty face
You may believe you possess appealing facial features
But the rest of you is out of place
However, the rest of your appearance is not appealing
You looked all right before
Your previous appearance was acceptable
Fox on the run
Able to flee quickly from harm's way
You screamed and everybody comes a-running
Alerting others of your danger causes them to rush to your aid
Take a run and hide yourself away
Hurry and escape to a secure hiding spot
F-foxy, foxy on the run and hideaway
A charming and appealing individual eluding danger and seeking a place of safety
You-you talk about just every band
You often converse about various musical groups
But the names you drop are second hand
However, the bands you reference are not your own discoveries
I've heard it all before
These conversations are redundant to me
