Human Zoo
Preen yourself
Fifteen yourself
Dream yourself
Widescreen yourself
Clean yourself
Machine yourself
Gene yourself
Demean yourself
Come come come come
Come into the zoo
See the animals
Come come come come
Come into the zoo
We’re all so lovable
animal criminal fictional cannibal
literal fallible musical Oedipal
chemical radical skeletal visceral
You you you you you you you you you
Come come come come
Come into the zoo
See the animals
Come come come come
Come into the zoo
We’re all so lovable

'Human Zoo' was written as the result of a request from Bill Reagan at Olympian Shadow Farm in the U.S. for a track to include on one of their compilations - rather than send an already completed song, we took the opportunity to write something new. As with 'The Blushing Bride,' the impetus came from Andy who constructed the basic backing track and also suggested the idea of humans as animals. Jamie wrote the lyrics and vocal melody. Kate's vocals are great - she has a voice that seems perfect for both intimate songs like 'Walk Away,' or something that rocks like 'Human Zoo.' Great guitar solo from Nigel too.
