Urban Fox
(Byrne, Hampshire, Kent)
She blazes into view, turning out the night
Yeah she's a heartbeat killer, a heartbeat killer
She will entice you, intoxicating sight
Yeah she's a heartbeat killer, a heartbeat killer
But to run away won't start to save you
She knows your game there's no escape route
You're taken in, anticipating her
Urban fox you searched me out
Urban fox you brought me round
Yeah she's a heartbeat killer, a heartbeat killer
She'll mesmerise you with her quicksand eyes
And now it's game over, it's game over
But to run away won't start to save you
She knows your game there's no escape route
You're taken in, as if you're waiting for her
Urban fox you searched me out
Urban fox you brought me round
Divine by day, vixen by night
she's dressed to kill her prey on sight
Her lips mislead you with her sweet talking
You know that it's game over its game over
Urban fox you searched me out
Urban fox you brought me round
This girl is amazing, no two ways of saying it, you'll try to fight her advances but she'll get you in the end!
On the way to work Rich saw a fox sitting by the Met railway line and the phrase Urban Fox was consigned to the list of songs and ideas that Rich has. Years later, appropriately in The Mortimer pub, Rich and Sarah were going through this list for new song ideas and Urban Fox got an ooo!
Songwriting started in earnest and situations and visions of this woman who is so amazing and deadly were talked about and what emotions she'd envoke. From that Sarah came up with these lines.... "Silent in her footsteps and deadly in her bite She's a heartbeat killer and I'm her prey tonight".
From that the song was born. The Heartbeat Killer is the hook and was written at the same time as the verse. The verse words came quite quickly and the bridge lyrics and melody were written a bit later.
Ben came up with the "Sweet Talking" line and also had a middle 8 that fitted nicely into the song, the words came later on.
The chorus was agony and after many song writing sessions it was decided to drop an extended melody and go to the simpler one.
