            The Animals(also billed as Eric Burdon and the Animals) are an English rhythm and blues and rock band, formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in the early 1960s. The band moved to London upon finding fame in 1964. The Animals were known for their gritty, bluesy sound and deep-voiced frontman Eric Burdon, as exemplified by their signature song and transatlantic number-one hit single, "The House of the Rising Sun", as well as by hits such as "We Gotta Get Out of This Place", "It's My Life", "Don't Bring Me Down", "I'm Crying", "See See Rider", and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". The band balanced tough, rock-edged pop singles Against rhythm and blues-oriented album material and were part of the British Invasion of the US.
       The Animals underwent numerous personnel changes in the mid-1960s, and suffered from poor business management, leading the original incarnation to split up in 1966. Burdon assembled a mostly new lineup of musicians under the name Eric Burdon and the Animals; the much-changed act moved to California and achieved commercial success as a psychedelic and hard rock band with hits such as "San Franciscan Nights", "When I Was Young", and "Sky Pilot", before disbanding at the end of the decade. Altogether, the group had 10 top-20 hits in both the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100.
             The original lineup of Burdon, Alan Price, Chas Chandler, Hilton Valentine, and John Steel reunited for a one-off benefit concert in Newcastle in 1968. They later had brief comebacks in 1975 and 1983. Several partial regroupings of the original-era members have occurred since then under various names. The Animals were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.
    "When I Was Young" is a song with a countercultural theme released in early 1967 by Eric Burdon and The Animals and was written by five of the band members Eric Burdon (vocals), Barry Jenkins (drums), John Weider (guitar/violin), Vic Briggs (guitar), and Danny McCulloch(bass). It charted in Australia peaking Nº. 2 and stayed 4 weeks there. Later it was a hit charting Nº. 10 on the Canadian RPM chart, Nº 15 in the United States and Nº 9 in the Netherlands. The song has been covered by many punk rock and heavy metal bands.
The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard
When I was young
 
I smoked my first cigarette at tem
And for girls, I had a bad yen
And I had quite a ball
When I was young
 
When I was young, it was more important
Pain more painful
Laughter much louder
Yeah, when I was young
When I was young
 
I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot when I was young
When I was young
 
When I was young
Pain more painful
Laughter much louder
Yeah, when I was young
When I was young
 
My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in fellow man
And I was so much older then
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young.

I got my sights set on you and I'm ready to aim
I have a heart that will never be tamed
I knew you were somethin special
when you spoke my name
Now I can't wait to see you again
I've got a way of knowing
when somethin is right
I feel like I must have known you in another live
Cause I felt htis deep connection
when you looked in my eyes
Now I can't wait
to see you again
 
The last time I freaked out
I just kept looking down
I st-st-stuttered when you asked me what I'm thinking about
Felt like I couldn't breath
You asked what's wrong with me
My best friend Lesley said "Oh she's just being Miley"
The next time we hang out
I will redeem myself
My heart it just can't rest till then
I, I can't wait to see you again
 
I got this crazy feeling, deep inside
When you called and asked to see me tomorrow night
I'm not a mind reader but I'm reading the signs
That you can't wait to see me again
 
The last time I freaked out
I just kept looking down
I st-st-stuttered when you asked me what I'm thinking about
Felt like I couldn't breath
You asked what's wrong with me
My best friend Lesley said "Oh she's just being Miley"
The next time we hang out
I will redeem myself
My heart it just can't rest till then
I, I can't wait to see you again
 
I got my sights set on you and I'm ready to aim
The last time I freaked out
I just kept looking down
I st-st-stuttered when you asked me what I'm thinking about
Felt like I couldn't breath
You asked what's wrong with me
My best friend Lesley said "Oh she's just being Miley"
The next time we hang out
I will redeem myself
My heart it just can't rest till then
I, I can't wait to see you again
 
I can't wait to see you again. 

I LAY MY LOVE ON YOU
