Lyrics[]
In this jungle land
We have become man
Gardens free and wild
To Mother Nature's child
We are animal
Every time we speak
The senses so unique
Human nature's waned
As violent nature's gain
We are animal
Only animals
Still just animal
Always animal
Looking backwards now
On evolution's course
Back from gardens
Into this jungle
We are animal
Only animals
Still just animal
Always animal
We are animal
Only animals
Still just animal
Always animal

The Europeans[]
The Europeans were a British new wave group formed in 1981 and disbanded in 1985. They released three albums, none of which achieved much in terms of chart position. In 1989, their former keyboard player and co-lead vocalist Steve Hogarth joined Marillion as lead vocalist. The Europeans should not be confused with the similarly named Europeans, a Bristol band that were active 1977-1979.
