THE ANIMALS
01-PAINT IT BLACK – Sol m
The Animals
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by
dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head
until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they’re all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads
and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just
happens ev’ry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I’ll fade away
and not have to face the facts
It’s not easy facin’ up
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough
into the settin’ sun
My love will laugh with me
before the mornin’ comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by
dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head
until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
02-THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN – La m
The Animals
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
-----Organ break-----
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
03-DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD – Si m
The Animals
Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But don't you know that no one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that all I have do is worry
Then you're bound to see my other side
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
If I seem edgy I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I get my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do
Oh, Oh baby don't you know I'm human
Because I love you
Have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself long regretting
Some foolish thing some little simple thing I've done
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood (3X)
