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 »

Man, woman, desire, love
Love one another
Can true love last forever?
Man, woman, desire, love
They both agree? 
Yes, it can
Be my woman?
I'll be your man
Man, woman, desire, love
'Baby, is there something wrong with you?
You don't do the things you used to do'
'I'm sorry baby, it's just I've been drinking, I need some rest'
That's when she starts really thinking
Man, woman, tired, love
He still loves her and that's a fact
But he can't help the way he acts
She feels it now and she turns to ice
He sees an old friend for some advice
Man, friend, 'Work things out'
'Okay baby, shoot, lets get things off your chest
I know what you need, you need a damn good rest
Now I know a chick, she's cool and she's a good friend'
...This is the beginning of the end...
He hesitates, he thinks, ahh, I'll take a chance
Well, what's wrong with taking a chick to a dance?
Nothing...
What's wrong with taking a lady home?
Nothing...
'Stay awhile baby, it's all right, we're quite alone'
Well, what's wrong with that?
Plenty...
Man in heaven...temporarily
Woman? Worried
He arrives home very very late and she is staring at the wall
She says, 'How was the meetin' tonight honey? Did you have a ball?'
He says to her, 'No, it was a drag. Me and the fellas just got a little stoned
I got a little drowsy and I couldn't find my way home'
She says, 'Yeah, I know'
She knows...
And he knows that she knows
Now she's got to work really fast
If their love is going to last
Talkin' it over would only be a drag 
She's got to pull some tricks out of her feminine bag
Ha, all right
Comes morning she's home and dry
And her man sleeps on, satisfied,
And this is the story of man, woman, desire, love
Man, woman, desire, love
Man, man
Woman, woman, woman,
Desire
Love
Set your soul on fire...
