From Brisbane, Australia to worldwide success, Messrs. Hayes and Jones were responsible for some of the most widely-known pop songs of the late 90's. Appropiately enough, given their Anne Rice-inspired name, Savage Garden veered between lush ballads ("Truly Madly Deeply", "I Knew I Loved You") and up-tempo dance numbers ("I Want You", "The Animal Song") with a deftness that put many of their contemporaries in the shade. Debut: In July of 1996, under Roadshow Music, the duo released their debut single "‎I Want You." The single was a hit in Australia and became the year's highest-selling by an Australian artist. The success of the single garnered much interest from many U.S.

The Animal Song Lyrics

Savage Garden

When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
And television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous, people pushing me too far
Ive got to break away
So take my hand now
Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
With the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
I dont have any difficulties keeping to myself
Feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
Theres a thought, now you decide
Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands, yeah, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand, yeah, yeah
Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
With the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
Sometimes this life can get you down
Its so confusing
Theres so many rules to follow
And I feel it
Cause I just run away in my mind
Superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
Television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
Theres a thought, now you decide
Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands, yeah, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand, yeah, yeah
Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
With the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
