Super Furry Animals are a Welsh rock band that lean towards psychedelic rock and electronic experimentation. Since their formation in Cardiff, Wales in 1993, the band has consisted of Gruff Rhys (lead vocals, guitar), Huw Bunford (lead guitar, vocals), Guto Pryce (bass guitar), Cian Ciaran (keyboards, synthesisers, various electronics, occasional guitar, vocals) and Dafydd Ieuan (drums, vocals). Actor Rhys Ifans is also a former member. The band are part of the Cardiff music scene.
The band formed in Cardiff after being in various other Welsh bands and techno outfits in the area. Ifans, Ieuan and Pryce had been together since the early 1990s and had toured the north coast of France as a techno group. After Bunford and Ciaran (the latter Ieuan's younger brother) joined, they wrote some songs, and in 1995 signed to Ankst, the Welsh indie label. The band are considered to be part of the renaissance of Welsh music (and art, and literature) in the 1990s: other Welsh bands of the time include the Manic Street Preachers, Catatonia, and Gorky's Zygotic Mynci.
Took you to a movie but you moved away
Froze into a standstill my feet turned to clay
Looked into the sky for some good advice
A curious shadow angle poised
Circled twice then tossed me a Carcass
Sold you a Dalmatian but the spots fell off
Pooled them all together as a hairy moth
Bred it with a lion but it flew away
Now it chases drones around the sky
Growls and grunts 'til they feed it blemish
I can't get enough of it
Kiss me with Apocalypse, an instant hit
I can't get enough of it
Kiss me with Apocalypse, an instant hit
Saw the Virgin Mary, she was crying blood
Tears congregate into a mighty flood
Gave her some directions to a specialist
An eye doctor to help her cyst
She took the wrong turn to the family planning
Saw Lord Lucan riding Sher gar to the shops last night
Couldn't be positive in candle light
Chased them in a Mustang to a Quick Save till
Searched for words to fit the bill
Dug myself a hole, then I fell into a vacuum
I can't get enough of it
Kiss me with Apocalypse, an instant hit
I can't get enough of it
Kiss me with Apocalypse, an instant hit
I can't get enough of it
Kiss me with Apocalypse, an instant hit
