Animal Child

from Naturally Preserved by Uncle Sammy

about

Partly inspired by the song writing of Peter Prince, (not the first time that this has happened). The bridge was originally written as an entirely different tune. Lust, passion, love, strange dreams and visions. Composed on a little nylon string guitar known affectionately as the pizza box. Extra points to anyone who can spot the haiku.

Music and lyrics by Brian O'Connell

lyrics

VERSE ONE
Animal child, you're driving me wild,
With all of that crazy passion.
A shot from the hip, the fire brightly lit.
Oh won't you let me come inside?

CHORUS ONE
If you need it it's there it's me,
Run to find me on my knees.
When you look you come to find it's you.
There's more than truth and lies.
Wonder who is on what side.
Come to look straight through the living truth.

VERSE TWO
I'm coming on strong, singing my song.
I just want to run away.
We can hide for awhile,
Where truth knows no style.
Up in the green fields we'll play.

CHORUS TWO
I've come to see the sun.
The sky, the earth in everyone.
The waves are crashing on the shore.
Inside these burning eyes,
Lies the truth within our lives.
Maybe we can see if there is more.

BRIDGE
The night was hot,
stripped to the waste the snail
enjoyed the moonlight.
We walked along,
roads less traveled,
destroyed the dawn.
Coming to view, the answer calls.
Running towards it, we always fall.
Holding tight.
Letting go.
So lonely.
Come back home.

CHORUS TWO
