The Animals

The Animals were an English band of the 1960s, formed in Newcastle upon Tyne during the early part of the decade. The band relocated to London on finding fame in 1964. The Animals were known for their gritty, bluesy sound and deep-voiced frontman Eric Burdon, as exemplified by their signature song and transatlantic No.1 hit single, "The House of the Rising Sun", as well as by hits such as "We Gotta Get out of This Place", "It's My Life", and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". The band balanced tough, rock-edged pop singles against rhythm and blues-oriented album material. They were known in the US as part of the British Invasion. more »

Well some people said it was cocaine
Well people claim it was gin
Well I know the girl and the dwell house man
That done my brother in

They put the last clean shirt
On my poor brother Bill
They put the last clean shirt
On my poor brother Bill

You know they found him in the back seat
Of an old abandoned Ford
When I touched the hand of my brother Bill
It was as stiff as a running board
They put the last clean shirt
On my poor brother Bill
They put the last clean shirt
On my poor brother Bill

The preacher said, he's gone now
Gone to another place
As they lowered him down into the ground
I felt a tear trickle down my face

They put the last clean shirt
On my poor brother Bill
They put the last clean shirt
On my poor brother Bill

The preacher said, he's gone now
Gone to another place
They lowered him down into the ground
I felt a tear trickle down my face
