The Old Fox Lyrics

Mekons The Old Fox

Old fox walking over ice
Listening for cracks
Below water a pit
Above fire, brilliance, beauty

No one is around
(Below water)
Young fox dips his tail
And goes tumbling in
Behind the crow and gate
Old fox eating from the bins
(Above fire)

No one is around
Behind the crow and gate
Conditions are difficult
Old fox is eating from the bins
And full of responsibility

The task is great
A task is great
Old fox walks over ice
