about

Time for something different. A sideways splash of Spit Enzy-rock'n'roll for sand fans young and old. A live favourite. The song charts the journey of our protagonist, from his rural idyll, on into the heart of the Spanish Civil War as he desperately makes his way to his lost love - or something like that. Just turn it up and let it take you somewhere.
From the forthcoming debut album 'Too Much Sky', to be released on Summer Storm Records, May 2023.

lyrics

Spirit Animal

She locks it in her heart.

The sunny side arrives on time,

she’s open minded and complicated.

They’re dancing in the hall.

We cut outside, see out the night,

and watch the light as it comes and goes.

It comes and goes again.

              She’s your spirit, she’s your spirit animal.

God it’s good to see you.

In the golden light of the common vibe

at harvest’s rest and eventide.

She fought a different battle,

but halfway through she lays them low

and holds them tight and we’re not

going anywhere tonight.

              She’s your spirit, she’s your spirit animal.

Twenty miles from Guernica,

the market town is cast alight.

They’re taking bets that we’ll never make it.

They strafed us in our cars.

We got down low no place to go

or way to hide, but I’ve got to see her

on the other side

              She’s your spirit, she’s your spirit animal.
