Take it…
Q
What?
Sorry, I’m not into that group. You’re not asking to have lyrics posted here, are you?
Do you remember Walter playing cricket in the thunder and the rain?
Do you remember Walter smoking cigarettes behind your garden gate?
Yes, Walter was my mate.
But Walter, my old friend, where are you now?
Picture yourself when you’re getting old
Sat by the fireside a-pondering on
Picture book, pictures of your mama, taken by your papa a long time ago.
Picture book, of people with each other, to prove they loved each other a long time ago.
People take pictures of the summer,
Just in case someone thought they had missed it,
And to prove that it really existed.
Don’t show me no more please…
Ray Davies = most underrated songwriter evar!!!11
Canada to India
Australia to Cornwall
Singapore to Hong Kong
From the West to the East
From the rich to the poor
Victoria loved them all
Put on your slippers and sit by the fire
You’ve reached your top and you just can’t get any higher
You’re in your place and you know where you are
In your Shangri-la
Sit back in your old rocking chair
You need not worry, you need not care
You can’t go anywhere
Shangri-la, Shangri-la, Shangri-la, Shangri-la, Shangri-la, Shangri-la…
YES! I weep with unfettered joy whenever I listen to Arthur, or the Decline & Fall of the British Empire.
NOTE TO WISEGUYS:
I know the OP isn’t from “Arthur…”, I just like that album better than VGPS.
I don’t want to be a constructor of highways
A sweeper of sidewalks, I’ve got to do it my way
I’m too ill-equipped for a mathematician
A shrewd politician, a maker of decisions
This world is big and wild and half insane.
Take me where real animals are playing…
