Soldier boy stands at a full salute.

He wants your orders to execute.

Send him out - 'neath the screaming red lights

In a narrow ditch for the funny fights.

Foxhole, foxhole too much danger

Where's my guardian angel - oh no

You show me the war, I don't know what for.

You show me the war but the war 's such a bore.

In the line of duty, in the line of fire

A heartless heart is my proper attire.

The flashing sword has been explored

The perfect slice - perfect slice of life.

I feel the shells hit - Moonlight web

Goodbye arms, so long, head.

No more danger

Hello guardian angel.

Pin me down, go ahead it's a cinch

You pin me down, you'll feel the pinch

I was trained for fights

Foxhole, foxhole

Foxhole, foxhole.

3:40 gives me the chills. I don't think any other guitarist has given me that sensation as much as Tom "chills" Verlaine.

Sounds like the guitars are having a separate conversation from Foxhole to Foxhole; the vocals telling the story in words.....such magnificent voicing of guitars in this Master piece of a creation. Fantastic for sure. So happy I clicked my way here after reading a comment on 'Television' 'Days' Roger Jones your words I agree wholeheartedly.... Thanks for sharing. All for some overly-RICH MAN'S GREED.Our sons and daughters died such a waste. These ass holes will pay.Great Great Great Tune and lyrics. The guitars are amazing in their voicing the story told in the lyrics. Roger your words went like this:"A song that could make General Haig turn in his own grave . The man that saw millions throw themselves to the slaughter in the Great War , The First World War . . Had I laid eyes on him I would have shot him !" Peace!!!

Great track. Good album as well. Still think Marquee Moon was a fantastic album.
