Glass Animals - Cocoa Hooves (Official Audio)

Lyrics

This old goat with beard of grey
He turns his leather gripped cane
Those times you clapped and called for quiet
They’ve come to hold you, ain’t that nice?
He packs a fat oom paul to
Jib and make home-baked perfume
Sips froth from soft, warm joe
Snug eiderdown bedclothes
You know, you know the way that I...

Come on you hermit
You never fight back
Why don’t you play with bows and arrows?
Why don’t you dance like
You’re sick in your mind?
Why don’t you set your wings on fire?

You slick back that wiry mane
A neat tucked slice
Deep trees sleep on the dank lawn
And scratch the slate
You finger down that waxen line
Between your breasts
A squeaky pain upon each breath
The plumbers left
You know the way that I feel

Come on you hermit
You never fight back
Why don’t you play with bows and arrows?
Why don’t you dance like
You’re sick in your mind?
Why don’t you set your wings on fire?

Come on you hermit
Why don’t you play nice?
Why don’t you toy with sex and violence?
Why don’t you stare back
Into my huge eye?
Why don’t you set my wings on fire?

I just love how the lyrics of their songs are always so random, yet make so much sense

[cousycousy]

Everything about Glass Animals is inspiring me lately. The specific songs are Toes, Black Mamba and now this one. Holy fuck.

[Rachopin]

Glass animals stuff always has sounds I didn't even know I wanted in a song

[cryptidcore]

see the problem is, after listening to these songs it's just so difficult to find any more songs that give me the same _feelings_ as these songs do, and I don't want to listen to any other aesthetic, so I’m suffering

[FSAyfkm]

This is just the sound of the universe 

[danihk]

This scratches that mental itch I never knew I had

[saffronstars]

this song is gonna blow up; i can feel it. so this is my comment affirming that i was aware of its existence on september 23, 2012 (for whom it may concern)

[rushaali]

Why are THEY so underrated? Like this has been my favourite song since years. I don't think it will ever change as well.

[lololololol]

This masterpiece was 8 years ago??? You have always been ahead of everyone else' time

[filipsperl]

Not sure if this is intentional, but the visuals look almost like the images you see, when you press your eyes against the skull.

[Priya-ywgy]

This sounds like how I imagine the universe if it had a soundtrack

[mustardisforthefishes]

I LOVE their new stuff dont get me wrong, but if they ever reverted back to this style i would be very happy. Zaba in my heart is my favorite because of how much its effected me, helped me, aswell drown me lol.

[meow-svrc]

*I can never get this song loud enough*

[Efrain]

I wish I knew in person many of the people in the comments. I feel like I'm the only person that listens to this kind of music. Btw the guitar at 0:58 is heaven

[agee]

Glass Animals best song in my opinion 

[brancheret]

Glass Animals is the only band that can give me such a nostalgia rush to a 2019 summer that was filled with memories we desperately want back

[angie-werj]

i know i commented on this before but i just cant express my love for this song. i just put it on and lie on my bed in the dark and i get chills and the whole feeling is just so indescribable

[iluvKingJesus]

Why must they be so mesmerizing. After seeing them live a couple times, nothing else can compare. I love you Glass Animals! 😍

[hellokittyrms]

This song and Toes get me where it counts. Like every time I listen I can feel the song flowing through my ears into my body.

[gatorpunk]

When you listen to a Glass Animals song, you know your gonna get something ether edgy, will put you to sleep, feel emotional, or all of them!
