lyrics

We are the Art Making Animals
And this is what we made
Yes we are the Art Making Animals
And this is what we made

This is what we made

David Hockney took his iPad
And painted spring in bloom
One year on and livings harder
Spring feels overdue

Kurtis Cobain took his Mustang
And wrote his song In Bloom
It's a pretty song
With no real meaning
But I like to sing along
I like to sing along
I like to shoot my gun

Coz we are the Art Making Animals
And this is what we made
Yes, we are the Art Making Animals
And this is what we made

Can you hear the diamonds sing
Like a bird inside your room
Can You
See the colours in a choir
Like the rainbows in a spring
Can You
Walk and talk with older men
And taste everything they’ve seen
Can you run
With a child’s eyes
And feel the earth
And all its spring

Richard Huxley
Hoped so much we’d
Die hearts out in bloom
Well we saw though April
But May was hateful
Hope springs eternal in june
Springs eternal in june

Were still marching on through
Methley
Kirkstall
Moortown
Harrogate
Hove!

Coz we are the Art Making Animals
And this is what we made
Yes, we are the Art Making Animals
And this is what we made

And it's not too late
It's not too late
It's not too late
No it's not too late

It's not too late,
It's not too late
It's not too late
No it's not too late

Coz we are the Art Making Animals
And this is what we made
Yes, we are the Art Making Animals
And this is what we made

about

Art Making Animals image

Art Making Animals Leeds, UK

Art Making Animals are Ben Denison and Mark Parrini.

We started “making noise with friends” over 20 years ago with a plan to write an album one song a year.

20 years of friendship later we have finally finished what we started.

Art Making Animals is about the joy of making music with close and trusted friends, and what a joy it has been.

And if listening is love, we can’t thank you enough. ... more
