about

Now a few years back, I remember one of my favourite bands the Scorpions released a track called The Zoo. This song however, is a horse of a different colour and shows what a class act Forest Field are, perhaps one should ask, are they really the pioneers of Progressive New Age Rock?
The Zoo, as a track, almost lifts you back to the good old days of hard rock and has a real base solidly clamped into the classic 70’s era of Prog. Just after four minutes in there is a real elevation of power from Cox, combine that with the keyboards and Vincent’s brilliant vocals, you have an all-out winner here and one that I personally will be playing for years.

lyrics

THE ZOO

staring at the people
they seem to be in pain
when they seem to have fun
is life so vain ?
what does it mean
to have a dream
of me and you in the sun

take me to the zoo
where I can watch what you people do
take me to the zoo
where I can watch my time with you

staring at the water
it's staring back at me
deep inside I'm hurt
deep inside I'm me

gazing at the people
nobody is sane
another brutal lie today
is life so in vain ?
what does it mean
to have a dream
of me and you in the sun

take me to the zoo
where I can watch what you people do
take me to the zoo
where I can watch my time with you

staring in the mirror
it's staring back at me
deep inside I'm happy
deep inside I'm free
