I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for girls, I had a bad yen
And I had quite a ball
When I was young
And for girls, I had a bad yen
And I had quite a ball
When I was young
When I was young,
it was more important
Pain more painful
Laughter much louder
Yeah, when I was young
Pain more painful
Laughter much louder
Yeah, when I was young
I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot when I was young
When I was young
She was brown and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot when I was young
When I was young
The Animals were the blusiest of the British Invsaion bands that followed on the heels of The Beatles' trajectory ERIC is also the inspiration for the verse I AM THE EGGMAN The Animals were also the band who gave birth to the term FOLK ROCK because of their rendition of House of the Rising Sun |

Footnote
Documentaries about bands and the music
from the Sixties never fail to intrigue
but NONE is better than
"Eric Burdon: The Animals and Beyond."
Four reasons being:
1.
Backstory about Chuck Berry
and Jerry Lee Lewis on a British tour.
2.
What Eric has to say about his friend
Jimi Hendrix that no alleged Hendrix authority
ever stated so clearly.
3.
What happened when Nina Simone
met Eric Burdon whose cover of
House of The Rising Sun
was modeled after her rendition
of the same song.
4.
The price of poor management
of an institution.
