Fox In The Snow
Belle And Sebastian · Other Songs - Belle And Sebastian
To find something you could eat
Cause word out on the street is you are starving
Don't let yourself go hungry now
Don't let yourself grow cold
Fox in the snow
Girl in the snow, where do you go
To find someone who will do
To tell someone all the truth before it kills you
And listen to your crazy laugh
Before you hang a right
And disappear from sight.
What do they know anyway?
You read it in a book
What do they know anyway?
You read it in a book tonight
Boy on the bike, what are you like
As you cycle round the town
You're going up, you're going down, you're going nowhere.
It's not as if they're paying you
It's not as if it's fun.
At least not anymore
When your legs are black and blue
Please can you take a break
When your legs are black and blue
Can you take a holiday
Kid in the snow, where do you go, it only happens once a year
It only happens once a lifetime, make the most of it.
Second just to being born.
Second to dying, too.
What else would you do
What else would you do
What else would you do
What else would you do
Fox in the snow
When your legs looking black and blue
Fox in the snow
It's not as if they're paying you
Fox in the snow
When your legs looking black and blue
Fox in the snow
It's not as if they're paying you
Fox in the snow
Fox in the snow.
Fox In The Snow - Belle And Sebastian
Released on the 1996 album Tigermilk, 'Fox In The Snow' stands as a quintessential example of Belle and Sebastian's melodic folk-rock sound. The track features the band's signature acoustic guitar work layered with warm harmonies and a gentle, contemplative atmosphere that defined their early career. Written by the band's frontman, the song captures a wistful mood characteristic of their discography, blending Scottish folk traditions with indie pop sensibilities. It remains a staple of their catalog, often cited as a defining moment in the Scottish indie revival of the mid-1990s. The recording showcases the group's ability to craft intimate, emotive tracks that resonate deeply with listeners seeking authentic, acoustic-driven music.
