Foxy Music

Roxy Music's plans for a reunion tour may have to be shelved because Bryan Ferry supports the Countryside Alliance (who meet "for liberty and livelihood" in London in mid-March) - with apologies to "Virginia Plain"

Saddle my steed, protect my head

All dressed in red, I'll ride it

Off to Hyde Park I'll make it

I'll hold his mane so he can shake it 'cause

We travel round with boxes

Just try try try tryin' to fix the foxes

Chase them over hills and hedges

Chase them with a hungry pack

Chase them over streams and bridges but don'tcha

Don'tcha hold 'em back whipcrack attack

This bit's between my teeth

Basil Brush is stuffed for starters, we will have his guts for garters

Far beyond the red horizon

Some place in the country mud

Where the saboteurs can't catch me

That's where we'll taste some blood - it's great -

Can't you hear that hunting horn

Why the scorn - Support The Quorn
