from The Kinks - State Of Confusion (1983)
Have you heard the word?
The revolution's over. Now the anger's disappeared And the rebels are much older. And the schools and universities Are turning out a brand new breed of young conservatives. Get yourself a brand new scene, Keep your collars white and clean, It's time to come and join the young conservatives. Revolution used to be cool, But now it's out of fashion. Politeness is the rule, And not an angry young man's passion. And they've used up all the alternatives, And they're rushing down the street to join the young conservatives. Conservatives. Ban the bomb, oh how contemporary, In your parents' car. Another chip off the block, is that all that you are? Look at all the young conservatives Hanging out in the bars. It's got to stop before it goes to fa-fa-fa-fa-far. Get yourself some new attire, Set your sights a little higher, You're going to join the young conservatives. The establishment is winning, Now the battle's nearly won. The rebels are conforming, See the father, now the sons. All the urgency and energy Have turned into complacency, Now the schools and universities are turning out a brand new breed of young conservatives. Conservatives. Rebel, rebel found a cause, Now it's Hampstead not East End And now he's such a well respected man. The only action that you see Is in the Sunday Times. Content to sit in bed and read between the lines. Rebel, rebel join the young conservatives. Be a devil join the new conservatives. It's a victory for order Now they've beaten everyone. The rebels are too old now, And the young just want to be young. All the urgency and energy Have turned into complacency. Now the schools and universities are turning out a brand new breed of young conservatives. Conservatives. Look at all the young conservatives. Look at all the young conservatives. |

I look back at the way I used to look at life
Soft, white dreams with sugar coated outside It was great, so great Young and innocent days I wish my eyes could only see Everything, exactly as it used to be It's too late, so late Young and innocent days I see the lines across your face Time has gone and nothing ever can replace Those great, so great Young and innocent days |

pockets for his keys but there is no need. Andrea is waiting to greet him with open arms.) Wife Speaking: 'ello love. You look all worn out! Let me take your brief case. That's a good boy. Now you come and sit down over here and relax and I'll make you a nice cuppa tea. Then we'll have dinner and we can sit and watch the tele. By the way dear, how'd you get on at the office. Star Singing: I mustn't stay in this job too long I gotta get out before the hold is too strong Gotta get out before my ambition is gone 'Cos it's breaking me up and bringing me down. But when I get home you make it all worthwhile, You make me laugh and you make me smile And after a hard day sorting out the files You make it all worthwhile. Wife Speaking: Oh, I've just remembered we've only got shepherd's pie, Do you like it? Star Speaking: Oh no, I hate it. Wife Speaking: Hate it? But my Norman loves it and you did ask me to act normally, didn't you. I mean I can't cope with all that fancy stuff you like to eat, like pizza and Eggs Bena...Benedict, whatever you call it. Star Speaking: Alright, I'll eat it and afterwards, I'll write a whole verse about your cooking. Star Singing: You mustn't blame yourself like you do, It's gonna make a nervous wreck out of you, So wipe your nose and dry your eyes, What's the point of cracking up all because of shepherd's pie? Oh, baby, you never know what I've been through. I break my back and sweat and slave To bring some money home to you. Oh, baby, you won't believe it, but it's true What a boring occupation can do, It can make a nervous wreck out of you, It can kill your spirit and destroy your mind. But when I get home you make it all worthwhile. You make me laugh and you make me smile And after a hard day sorting out the files You make it all worthwhile. Wife Speaking: Would you like steam pudding and custard for afters? Star Speaking: Darling, that would be marvelous. Wife Singing: And when I come home you make it all worthwhile.

There are many different people,
Livin' double lives. One for the office, And one that they take home to their wives. He sits in the armchair, watching channel 4, With his brains not expected home for an hour or more. He's still drifting to and fro, like a yo-yo. His wife is in the kitchen, fixin' her old man's tea She's thinking to herself, "He's not the man that married me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." They used to laugh together, now he's never at home. Now she's fighting back the tears, she can't even laugh alone. She's just sitting by the telephone, like a yo-yo. You needed me when you were crying, But now you're laughing I'm the last thing on your mind. First you love me, then you don't. I'm up and down, Like a yo-yo. Yo-yo. Ah, you thought you knew me pretty well, But with people like me you never can tell. You can only guess which way I'll go. You got me sussed, but you don't know, I'm a yo-yo. Just like a yo-yo on a string. I'm a yo-yo. Little child playing with a yo-yo. Yo-yo, yo-yo. Girl you had me dangling, like a yo-yo on a string, But with you at the controls I could accomplish anything, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You were just playing, I was a little boy, But when I grew into a man you just threw away your toy, Like a yo-yo. Yo-yo. You might be popular, but it won't last for long, So don't give up the day job, in case it all goes wrong. Look at your ego, watch it go, up and down, Like a yo-yo. Yo-yo. You needed me when you were crying, But now you're laughing I'm the last thing on your mind. First you love me, then you don't. I'm up and down, Like a yo-yo. Yo-yo. I'm a yo-yo (yo-yo). Like a yo-yo. |

He's still drifting to and fro, like a yo-yo. His wife is in the kitchen, fixin' her old man's tea She's thinking to herself, "He's not the man that married me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." They used to laugh together, now he's never at home. Now she's fighting back the tears, she can't even laugh alone. She's just sitting by the telephone, like a yo-yo. You needed me when you were crying, But now you're laughing I'm the last thing on your mind. First you love me, then you don't. I'm up and down, Like a yo-yo. Yo-yo. Ah, you thought you knew me pretty well, But with people like me you never can tell. You can only guess which way I'll go. You got me sussed, but you don't know, I'm a yo-yo. Just like a yo-yo on a string. I'm a yo-yo. Little child playing with a yo-yo. Yo-yo, yo-yo. Girl you had me dangling, like a yo-yo on a string, But with you at the controls I could accomplish anything, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You were just playing, I was a little boy, But when I grew into a man you just threw away your toy, Like a yo-yo. Yo-yo. You might be popular, but it won't last for long, So don't give up the day job, in case it all goes wrong. Look at your ego, watch it go, up and down, Like a yo-yo. Yo-yo. You needed me when you were crying, But now you're laughing I'm the last thing on your mind. First you love me, then you don't. I'm up and down, Like a yo-yo. Yo-yo. I'm a yo-yo (yo-yo). Like a yo-yo. |

from The Kinks - Word Of Mouth (1984)
I've been trying to get a message to you,
But the operator can't put me through, Because the vandals went and wrecked all the telephones. And all my enemies are spreading bad news, You won't call me, that's why I'm calling you, To put you straight about the rumors they're spreading about me back home. I should have known, sooner or later, You'd get the news, sooner or later, The word of mouth will get right back to you. Somehow we lost communication, My only chance in my situation, Is that the word of mouth gets my message through. The word of mouth, The word of mouth, But who are they to say the things they do? The word of mouth says that I've gone insane, That wine and women have affected my brain. Well who's the big mouth spreading the news again? The word of mouth says I'm round the bend, It's all over, this is the end. Exaggeration sure gets the better of people who send(?). The word of mouth, The word of mouth, But who are they to say the things they do? The word of mouth said I should be put in my place. The word is out I'm in disgrace -- a waste of space. But if they say it, say it to my face. People talking, trying to dig up the dirt, There are so many lies around. They spread their gossip and the rumors around this town. Word of mouth, face to face, My word of mouth has stated my case, And I'm saying I'm coming back home to you. You should have know sooner or later, You'd get the news sooner or later, The word of mouth will get right back to you. The word of mouth, Shut your mouth, Shut your face! |

Wonder boy, life's just begun. Turn your sorrow into wonder Dream alone, don't sigh, don't groan Life is only what you wonder. Day is as light as your brightest dreams, Night is as dark as you feel it ought to be. Time is as fast as the slowest thing, Life is only... Wonder boy, Wonder boy. Everybody is looking for the sun. People strain their eyes to see, But I see you and you see me, And ain't that wonder? Wonder boy, some mother's son, Life is full of work and plunder(?). Easy go, life is not real, Life is only what you conjure. Wonder boy, And the world is joy, every single day. It's the real McCoy, Wonder boy. Everybody is looking for the sun. People strain their eyes to see, But I see you and you see me, And ain't that wonder? Wonder boy, some mother's son, Turn your sorrow into wonder Dream alone, go have your fun. Life is only...

In a dark and misty house,
Where no Christian man has been, Wicked Annabella mixes a brew That no one's ever seen. Relatives have passed her by, Too scared to even say hello. She's in perpetual midnight, She shuts out the day, And goes about her sinful ways. I, I've seen her hair, I've seen her face, Look towards mine. I, I've felt her eyes burning my soul, Twisting my mind. Little children who are good Should always go to sleep at night, 'Cause Wicked Annabella is up in the sky Hopin' they will open their eyes. Don't go into woods tonight, 'Cause underneath the sticks and stones Are lots of little demons enslaved by Annabella Waiting just to carry you home |

How can I go on, Wondering what I did wrong, Can it be too much to ask? Please, oh please, let it be. If the Summer'll come my way, Will I find someone to take the place of (?)? But I'll wait till the Summer comes along. Dear Lord, tell me what could I've done wrong. Can it be that she, Never wanted to, Break some poor mother's heart? Please, oh please, let it be.

from The Kinks - The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society (1968)
Out in the country,
Far from all the soot and noise of the city, There's a village green. It's been a long time Since I last set eyes on the church with the steeple Down by the village green. 'Twas there I met a girl called Daisy And kissed her by the old oak tree. Although I loved my Daisy, I saw fame, And so I left the village green. I miss the village green, And all the simple people. I miss the village green, The church, the clock, the steeple. I miss the morning dew, fresh air and Sunday school. And now all the houses Are rare antiquities. American tourists flock to see the village green. They snap their photographs and say "Gawd darn it, Isn't it a pretty scene?" And Daisy's married Tom the grocer boy, And now he owns a grocery. I miss the village green, And all the simple people. I miss the village green, The church, the clock, the steeple. I miss the morning dew, fresh air and Sunday school. And I will return there, And I'll see Daisy, And we'll sip tea, laugh, And talk about the village green. We will laugh and talk about the village green. |

All that I see, seems so unreal to me,
Is it the truth or is it only fantasy, Is it a dream or is it unreal reality? All around me is such unreality, Optical illusions as far as my eyes can see, Is the whole thing a fake, or the ultimate reality? That house is so big that it reaches right up to the clouds It's got hundreds of windows, so the people inside can look out, And they look down below and wonder what it's all about. Look at that lady she got silver all over her face, Is she a human being or a creature from outer space, Is she authentic or phoney, I guess it's just a matter of taste. Oh because they can feel it, it's gotta be the real thing, Because they can touch it, it's gotta be reality. If they say it's real, it's gotta be the real thing. See that fella, looking all spick and span, Is he a tailor's dummy or is he a real man, Is he genuine, or straight off the assembly line. All round me is such unreality, Optical illusions as far as my eyes can see, Is the whole thing a fake or the ultimate reality? Is it a dream, or is it the real reality? |

from The Kinks - A Soap Opera (1975)
All I see is imitation
And there's no earth beneath my feet. There are no trees or fields in front of me Only slabs of concrete. Skyscrapers reaching up to the clouds, Don't give the moon a chance to shine, And I've got imitation moonlight Standing underneath the neon sign. Is it real or just illusion? Can there be day-time when it's night? Is it merely my delusion Or are my senses telling me lies. Is it just hallucination? Have I been drinking too much wine? I don't know if it's day or night, When I'm underneath the neon sign. Underneath the neon sign. Electronic nature made by man with robots in mind. Big city lights guide my way into the night, darkness shines When I'm standing underneath the neon sign. If there isn't any sunshine We'll sunbathe by the neon sign And if we can't see any stars at night We'll sit and watch the traffic lights. If there isn't any day-time I've got an imitation dawn, I've got a simulated sunshine Standing underneath the neon sign. Is it only an illusion? Have I been drinking too much wine? Can there be day-time when it's night Underneath the neon sign. Underneath the neon sign. Is it mother nature Playing tricks with my eyes For darkness shines When I'm standing underneath the neon sign. |

He was just a workin' man,
Simple rules and simple plans, Fancy words he didn't understand, He loved with his heart, He worked with his hands. Liberals dream of equal rights, Conservatives live in a world gone by, Socialists preach of a promised land, But old Uncle Son was an ordinary man. Bless you Uncle Son, They won't forget you when the revolution comes. Unionists tell you when to strike, Generals tell you when to fight, Preachers teach you wrong from right, They'll feed you when you're born, And use you all your life. Bless you Uncle Son, They won't forget you when the revolution comes |

In a sheltered place where I viewed the world
And all that it contained I would see your face in a misty haze And wish that you were there Yes I wished that you were there Darling Fool, I was with you all the way Be as the flower that unfolds with each day Trust your place in time though you have won and lost How very much like me you are When you come to me Truly, truly trust your heart Truly, oh truly trust your heart Why bear malice just let it go So what of pride it will swallow you whole Here's to the judge, to the tyrant, and the beast You keep a knockin' but you can't come in Truly, truly trust your heart Truly, truly trust your heart The moonlight of your soul, fond memories to unfold Of the days when we were young Of the love we'd forever hold Truly, truly trust your heart Truly, truly trust your heart I bring thunder, lightning and rain For those who administer injustice and pain Comfort the weak and feed the poor What on earth do we need government for? Truly, truly trust your heart Truly, oh truly trust your heart |

from The Kinks - Word Of Mouth (1984)
Everybody's working out at the gymnasium,
Pumping iron, getting fit, ready to compete. Everybody working on their own body heat. Everybody hustling out on the street. Julian is out there looking at locations, Arthur's on the picket line winding up the nation, Sara Jane's working on her way to a degree, But back in the gymnasium they're working out and body popping. It's gotta stop because it's getting too hot. Cool it down, 'cause it's getting too hot. It's getting crazy, going over the top. It's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot. All the kids are working out, they're on their way to fame. Arthur's on the war path, here he comes again. The city's like a sauna bath, stinks like a drain. They're pumping up the nation but it's gonna bust a vein. Tourists everywhere, blocking up the streets. My ice cream cone just melted in the heat. And while I do my best to stop my raspberry from slopping, Back in the gymnasium they're working out and body popping. It's gotta stop because it's getting too hot. Cool it down, 'cause it's getting too hot. It's getting crazy, going over the top. It's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot. It's too hot, gotta cool it down. It's too hot, turn the heating down. It's too hot, the temperature is up. It's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot. The city lights start shining at the end of the day, Taking the place of the big red sun as it slowly sets. Meanwhile back in commuter city, another kid's packing her bags, And running away. To a city that is really too hot, It's Piccadilly and it's really too hot. Too hot, too hot, too hot. Arthur's working out, now he's really got the muscle, Julian's over budget, now he's really got to hustle, And Sara Jane's living on bag take-aways, And working as a stripper on the school holidays. Sleazy town, gets me down, want some peace and quiet. The police are everywhere like there's gonna be a riot. Back in the gymnasium they're training for a war. Think of all the fun we had in 1984. It's gotta stop because it's getting too hot. Cool it down, 'cause it's getting too hot. It's getting crazy, going over the top. It's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot. It's too hot, gotta cool it down. It's too hot, turn the heating down. It's too hot, the temperature is up. It's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot, it's too hot. (repeat) |

In the back of a record rack
There's a old double pack Twelve inches and black With an old crumpled cover But every track is stacked And it takes me back To the one who caused this melancholy mood And every single groove Cuts me to the bone Yeah, she rocks me to the bone I took her back to my bachelor flat While the stereo played for two She unwrapped her gift And played me a riff And said, "this old record was just made for you" Then we danced to songs of passion and The singer's velvet tones On the gramaphone While the record played She rocks me to the bone Knocks me to the bone Those those rock n' roll romantic songs Played all summer long And she rocks me to the bone Knocks me to the bone. Yeah, she rocks me to the bone Yeah, she rocks me to the bone In dreams she's smiling in slow motion Devouring all of my emotion Angels singing rock 'n' roll While demons take away my soul Voices sound, her image fades Every time that record plays She rocks me to the bone Knocks me to the bone In my back room there's an old 45 That we played all summer long Shakin the beams so loud it covered up the screams When lover's harmony went oh so wrong And in every word emotion is torn And blood flows down the drain Like she opened up a vein And cut me to the bone Yeah, she rocks me to the bone And now i'm just a prisoner In that stereo Hi-Fi jail The needle pierced just like a nail As she rocks me to the bone Knocks me to the bone Do do do do do do do She rocks me to the bone Yeah, she rocks me to the bone Yeah, she rocks me to the bone |

Just a quiet city sport(?)
With a wife and little kids to support So immaculately dressed when he walks Like a soldier on parade He's a tin soldier man Living in a little tin wonderland Very happy little tin soldier man When you set him on your knee Every day you see his army march down the street Changing guards at the high road He's a tin soldier man Wickie wa-waddle doo(?) And he's got a little tin lady too Just to put a little shine on his shoes And keep his uniform tidy He's a tin soldier man Wickie wa-waddle doo(?) And he's got a little tin lady too Just to put a little shine on his shoes And make his uniform tidy He's a tin soldier man Living in a little tin wonderland Very happy little tin soldier man When you sit him on your knee He's a tin soldier man He's a tin soldier man |

from The Kinks - The Kink Kontroversy [Deluxe Edition] (1965)
Time will tell if I will live eternally,
Through life instead of being someone. All of my life, you are the one, you're on my mind. Have a good time, do what you want, but you will find, Time will tell if I'll survive. I'd rather be dead than just pretend I'm alive. Time will tell, it's just a matter of time. It's just a matter of time. Time will tell if we will be the same as now, Or not, if not, then never mind. All of my life, you are the one, you're on my mind. Have a good time, do what you want, but you will find, Time will tell if I'll survive. I'd rather be dead than just pretend I'm alive. Time will tell, it's just a matter of time. It's just a matter of time. Time will tell if dreams become reality, For you got me, as long as you want. All of my life, you are the one, you're on my mind. Have a good time, do what you want, but you will find, Time will tell if I'll survive. I'd rather be dead than just pretend I'm alive. Time will tell, it's just a matter of time. It's just a matter of time. It's just a matter of time. |
