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 »

Oh, yeah, smoke stack lightning
Hum, hum, shine down on me babe
Well, I know since you've been gone
Oh I ain't no piece in my home

Oh babe, I gotta go catch the next train smokin'
Bring my bags and go

Ough, ough, here my crying baby, ah ah ah ah
