THE WORD "WILD" APPLIES TO THE WORDS "YOU" AND "ME".

WHEN WE HAD THE GROUP WINGS I DID A SONG CALLED 'WILD LIFE' AND THIS IS PROMTED BY A VISIT I HAD TO AN AFRICAN WILD LIFE PARK, YEAH, I THINK IT WAS A PLACE CALLED 'AMBASELLY', THEY HAD A GREAT SIGN THERE, IT SAID, 'REMEMBER THE ANIMALS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY!' SO IF YOU'RE IN YOUR CAR THERE AND THERE WAS A BIG ELEPHANT ON THE ROAD IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU HAD TO JUST WAIT 'TIL HE GOT OUT THE WAY, YOU COULD'T BEEP HIM. SO I USED THAT LINE, 'THE ANIMALS HAVING THE RIGHT OF WAY' IN THE SONG 'WILD LIFE'. LET'S HEAR A BIT OF THAT NOW, MAN!
|
|
|
WHILE TAKING A WALK THRU AN AFRICAN PARK ONE DAY,
|
I SAW A SIGN SAY, THE ANIMALS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY.
|
WILD LIFE, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO
|
WILD LIFE, THE ANIMALS IN THE ZOO?
|
|
YOU'RE BREATHING SO HOT, (YEH),
|
A LOT OF POLITICAL NONSENSE IN THE AIR.
|
YOU'RE MAKING IT HARD FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THERE.
|
YOU'RE MOVING SO FAST, BUT, BABY, YOU KNOW NOT WHERE.
|
WILD LIFE, (wild life) WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO
|
WILD LIFE, (wild life) THE ANIMALS IN THE ZOO?
|
|
OH, OH, OH, OH, OH,
|
(Uh-uh-uh)
|
(Uh-uh-uh)
|
OH, OH, OH, OH, OH.
|
|
YOU'D BETTER STOP!
|
THERE'S ANIMALS EV'RYWHERE,
|
AND MAN IS THE TOP, AN ANIMAL TOO,
|
AND, MAN, YOU JUST GOT TO CARE.
|
OH, WILD LIFE, (wild life) WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO
|
WILD LIFE, (wild life) THE ANIMALS IN THE ZOO?
|
|
OH, OH, OH, OH, OH-OH-OH, OH-OH-OH,
|
YEAH, OH-OH-OH, OH-OH-OH.
|
|
YOU'RE BREATHING A LOT OF POLITICAL NONSENSE IN THE AIR,
|
YOU'RE MAKING IT HARD FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THERE.
|
WILD LIFE, (wild life) WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO
|
(Whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
|
WILD LIFE, (wild life) THE ANIMALS IN THE ZOO - OOH?
|
(Whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
|
(Wild life)
|
(Whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
|
(Wild life)
|
(Whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
|
WILD LIFE, (wild life) WHATEVER HAPPENED TO,
|
(Whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
|
WILD - (wild life) THE ANIMALS IN THE ZOO-OO-OO?
|
(Whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
|
WILD LIFE, (wild life) WHATEVER HAPPENED TO,
|
(Whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
|
(Wild life)
|
(Whatever happened to, whatever happened to)
|
|
OOBU JOOBU, WE LOVE YOU,
|
OOBU JOOBU.

THERE'S A SONG I ALWAYS USED TO LOVE WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, IT WAS CALLED 'NATURE BOY' AND IT WAS ABOUT A NATURE LOVER AND WHEN I WANTED TO WRITE A SONG ALONG THE SAME KIND OF LINES I CHOOSED THE TITLE 'MOTHER NATURE'S SON'.
|
AND I WROTE THIS, I THINK, UP IN LIVERPOOL WHEN I WAS VISITING MY DAD ONE TIME.
|
AND IT WAS JUST ABOUT MY LOVE OF NATURE, MY LOVE OF THE COUNTRY SIDE AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT LINDA AND I FOUND WE HAD IN COMMON, WE MARRIED OVER 25 YEARS AGO, WOULD YOU BELIEVE? NO, I CAN'T! WELL, IT IT'S TRUE, WAS OUR LOVE OF NATURE. TURNS OUT WHILE I WAS WANDERING ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF LIVERPOOL LOOKING AT THE FIELDS AND THE BIRDS AND LOOKING AT THE WILD LIFE WHICH I USED TO LOVE TO DO AS A QUIET MOMENT, SHE WOULD BE IN THE BACK GARDENS IN NEW YORK, IN THE SCARSDALE WHERE SHE USED TO LIVE, AND SHE'D, BE GOING DOWN TO THE BACK OF A VACANT LOT WHERE NOBODY EVER USED TO GO, HAD A LITTLE STREAM, IT WAS A FAVOURITE SPOT, SHE USED TO GO THERE AND LIFT UP THE ROCKS AND HAD A LOOK FOR THINGS LIKE SALAMANDERS AND STUFF. SO, IT TURNS OUT WE BOTH HAD THIS DEEP LOVE FOR NATURE. SO, HERE'S MY SONG 'MOTHER NATURE'S SON'.
