I’ve been watching your behaviour And I think you’re in the mood So if you’re lonely, well I’m here to save ya Let’s get out of here and get us a room Let’s make love like animals I think you know what I’m talking about Let’s make love exactly like other animals Get your zoology textbook out Lets make love like rabbits, a hundred times a week, Let’s make love like hedgehogs – you know – carefully Let’s make love like salmon living in fresh water You leave it in the bath I’ll come and pick it up later Let’s make love like animals - like dogs, doggiestyle It’s been happening since the stone age - like cats – also doggiestyle Let’s make love exactly like other animals - but mostly like dogs Open up that Wikipedia page Let’s make love like Angler Fish, yeah It’s kind of complicated but it’s worth it You use your highly developed olfactory sense to swim towards me for several days And then you bite me That releases an enzyme that then dissolved your skin & your flesh & your… fins… Leaving only a pair of genitals attached to the side of my body For me to use When it’s convenient. I’ve been waiting to find someone so animalistic Misunderstood just because I like badgers and whippets And seagulls and snails, who incidentally fire love darts Well I’ve brought some chocolates If you like them I’ll dance like a squid Or croon like a humpback whale Let’s make passionate love, a beast with two tails Or a porcupine – I’ll spray you with wee and if you don’t scream we’ll get to it Actually, skip that one, let’s not do it Let’s get it on like pygmy chimpanzees You know – constantly Not rest until we’ve done some things that even seem odd to me I am the man to put the “ooh” in “zoology” You can be my queen I’m the drone in our colony But let’s leave the metaphor there because as everybody knows When a gentleman bee is done his genitals explode Oh no, I’ve said too much, now I’m alone, confused, waiting Like a self-cloning lizard, too much pseudo-copulation Let’s make love like animals, yeah - like squirrels in heat It’s like a biology GCSE – but sexy - I’ve done my naughty coursework I know what will get you in the mood to love like an animal - yes? I’ll get out my David Attenborough DVDs, yeah - mmmm, David So we’re sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea - oh, god yes This is not getting us anywhere I’ve never seen a praying mantis in HD God, did you see what she did afterwards, she ripped his head off and ate it! Dear god… Do you wanna? No No No I guess we’ll end up being the same animals we’ve always been. Pandas.

What do you know? Did you find what they were all looking for, And is it super-heavy? Where’d you go? I turned around to tell you something But you were gone and I wasn’t ready Send me a postcard from your Island of Stability Wish you were here Some mixed emotion recollected in tranquillity My half-life is getting shorter by the day And we all want to stop going under But though we try, we seem to be no nearer now Perhaps I’ll never get those magic numbers Send me a postcard from your Island of Stability Wish you were here Some mixed emotion recollected in tranquillity It’s an elemental dream It’s 114 It’s accelerated thinking It’s trying to stop that isotopic ship from sinking Send me a postcard from your Island of Stability Wish you were here Some mixed emotion recollected in tranquillity

Why is it so hard After heavy rain To step between the snails and spare their lives? Our mindless feet remake Their homes into deadly blades The perfect instruments of their demise And if I were transformed into a giant slug Would I be most cursed on this earth? And if I one day die and am reborn a man Should I rejoice in my rebirth? Evil's on the march It stalks my stuttering steps I can feel its voodoo in my head But it needs a lock of hair To perform its spells So I'll collect my hair And I'll keep it in the jars beneath my bed With fingernails and skin And bottles of urine Anything that might bear my DNA And I know that I must hide From the storm that dwells outside But I will step into the light some lucky day The oily rain that falls upon the flooded pavement tells me that it's here within my castle I must stay And while I know that I must hide From the storm that howls outside I will step into the light some lucky day

Verse: Spring / 1961 / Gagarin / chosen as the one He climbs / into the Vostok 1 / which climbs / into the sky and then its gone And I want to know / what its like to boldly go / up into the heavens / where no human has been present Watching / a distant Baikonaur / and every / one you know grow small One minute / your looking at the Kazakh lands / the next / you're the pinnacle of man what are u seeing up there? / what are you feeling up there? / whats it like being up there? / I'd like to know Chorus: So Radio Gagarin and ask him what its like soaring Up above the skies / in a satellite / looking down at human life It must feel so ace / flying through space / being looked up at by the human race
