Animal Fat Lyrics
(that was so nice)
She did somethin' for me one time,
The gesture was sweet.
Said "I'm doin' this for you, darlin',
Don't leave it on the street
with all those people-
Don't you know anything?"
Drinkin' steadily into the light
Doin' a sailor's dance
Far below the clock tower's height
I fell into her hands
She said, "I've got perfect virgin's feet
so come rest your head."
Recall the dyin' ember
Is that all we can remember?
We gotta have animal fat
The stone-age knife is blunt and bloody
I thought you were a quicker study, still
We gotta have animal fat
My ancestors built society by conquering the sea (the sea, the sea)
Can't explain the source of sour voice comin' on through me
The western people
They don't know anything
Recall the dyin' ember
Is that all we can remember?
We gotta have animal fat
The stone-age knife is blunt and bloody
I thought u were a quicker study still
We gotta have animal fat
Animal Fat
Animal Fat
The gesture was sweet.
Said "I'm doin' this for you, darlin',
Don't leave it on the street
with all those people-
Don't you know anything?"
Doin' a sailor's dance
Far below the clock tower's height
I fell into her hands
She said, "I've got perfect virgin's feet
so come rest your head."
Is that all we can remember?
We gotta have animal fat
The stone-age knife is blunt and bloody
I thought you were a quicker study, still
We gotta have animal fat
Can't explain the source of sour voice comin' on through me
The western people
They don't know anything
Is that all we can remember?
We gotta have animal fat
The stone-age knife is blunt and bloody
I thought u were a quicker study still
We gotta have animal fat
Animal Fat

here are lyrics from the album cover...
she did something for me one time, the gesture was sweet said "i'm doing this for you, darling, don't leave it on the street! with all those people! don't you know anything?
drinking steadily into the light, doing a sailors' dance far below the clocktowers' height, i fell into her hands she said "i've got perfect virgin's feet; come rest your head"
recall the dying ember is that all you can remember? we gotta have animal fat
the stone-age knife is blunt and bloody i thought you were a quicker study, still we gotta have animal fat
the ancestors built society by conquering the sea can't explain the source of sour voice coming up through me the western people, they're just led by the ring
this is the one i think is right, i went through and listened carefully. can we replace it at all?
this is the one i think is right, i went through and listened carefully. can we replace it at all?
I transcibed the following from the CBC Radio 3 Session:
She did something for me one time Just to a sweep Said "I'm doing this for you darling, Don't leave it on the street" Recall those people Don't you know anything?
Drinking steadily into the light Doing a sailor's hymn Far below the clock tower's height I've fallen to her hands She said, "I've got perfect virgin's feet" Caressed your hair
Recall the dying embers Said all you can remember You gotta have a lot more fire
The stone age side was one bloody-- I thought you were a quicker starter still We gotta have a lot more fire
My ancestors built a society Conquering the seas Can't explain the source of sour voids Coming up through me They say the western people They don't know anything
