One Fox

I'd like a family in the Meditteranean where the skies are blue all day,
to me a challet in the Alps near Switzerland would be a heavenly place to stay.
There'd be nouveaux cuisine out on the Isle of my dreams, for the folks from out of town.
Yeah we'd play out on the shore until we cant take no more of that
all new updated sound.

But in the North West there's a blunder and with a little dab of thunder,
and a fallen tree that nearly caused a meltdown
and in the South East men are digging, 'cos the ships have lost there rigging
and one fox out of seven can not be wrong

Yeah we all need dreams and if I was to come clean there'd be health, wealth,
love and no tomorrows
but if you wake up to quick your head will feel very sick
and the day will be spent in space
'cos on Tuesday I'll play smash and trash with a friend of mine from Mars
he said his name is Zog in his deciphered voice,
and it's apparent we've gone too far

'Cos in the North West there's a blunder and with a little dab of thunder,
and a fallen tree that nearly caused a meltdown
and in the South East men are digging, 'cos the ships have lost there rigging
and one fox out of seven can not be wrong

The continuous bombardment of TV rays tell the unmitigating story of our lives
how one man and his dog can't change what's already been done
but with the help of the rest we might just survive
'Cos in the North West there's a blunder and with a little dab of thunder,
and a fallen tree that nearly caused a meltdown
and the loins of the men are sick with an infection
which I for one know isn't very nice
which I for one know isn't very nice
