Although the band Burdon formed in the late 1960s was sometimes called Eric Burdon and the New Animals, it wasn't until 1998 that the name Eric Burdon and the New Animals was officially adopted. The 1998 band had bassist Dave Meros, guitarist Dean Restum, drummer Aynsley Dunbar and keyboard guitarist Neal Morse. They recorded Live at the Coach House on 17 October 1998, released on video and DVD in December that year. In 1999 they released The Official Live Bootleg No. 2 and in August 2000 The Official Live Bootleg 2000, with Martin Gerschwitz on keyboards.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Aaaa...)
Love is a burnin' thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire,
I fell into your ring of fire
I fell into that burnin' ring of fire
And the flames got higher
And it burns, burns, burns
That ring of fire
The ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet
When souls like ours meet
I fell for you like a little child,
Oh, and the flames got wild
I fell into that burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames, they got higher
And it burns ,burns, burns
That ring of fire
The ring of fire
(Aaaa...)
(Aaaa...)
(Aaaa...)
(Aaaa...)
I fell into that burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames, they got higher
And it burns, burns, burns
That ring of fire
That ring of fire
I fell into that burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames, they got higher
And it burns, burns, burns

That ring of fire
(Aaaa...) Well...burn
Let me burn in your ring of fire

God knows I'm burnin', baby

In my opinion the best version of this song, Eric stamps his own style on it. I bought this in 1968, still love it.
