Fox on the run
Touch of Joy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna know your name

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 alright before

Fox on the run

you screamed and everybody comes

a-running take a run and hide

yourself away

Fox is 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 screamed and everybody comes

a-running take a run and hide

yourself away

Fox is on the run

Foxy fox on the run

and hide away

Fox on the run

you screamed and everybody comes

a-running take a run and hide

yourself away

Fox is on the run

Foxy fox on the run





and hide away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Touch of Joy's song "Fox on the Run" appear to be addressing someone who the singer does not want to associate with. The line "I don't wanna know your name cause you don't look the same the way you did before" suggests that this person's appearance or behavior has changed in some way that is unappealing to the singer. The singer goes on to criticize the person's taste in music, saying "you talk about just every band but the names you drop are second hand."


The chorus of the song is "Fox on the run, you screamed and everybody comes a-running, take a run and hide yourself away, foxy foxy on the run and hide away." It's not entirely clear who or what the "fox" being referred to is, but it could be interpreted as this person the singer is criticizing, who is seen as running away from something. The repeated refrain to "take a run and hide yourself away" reinforces this idea.


Overall, the lyrics appear to be about rejecting someone who is trying to be part of a particular social circle or scene, but who doesn't fit in for some reason. The repeated use of the phrase "hide away" suggests that this person is seen as an outsider who should just go away and not try to be part of things.
