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.

The day that the world ends, at 5 minutes to midnight, the whole of the human race will be wandering around the streets of New York city, in the darkness and the rain, there will be no food, there will be no evidence of any civilisation to speak of. But .... somewhere in the distance .... we will hear the words "Foxhole, foxhole ....".
