THE WORLD OF FOOD

I’m living in my own world
Nothing can hurt me at all
I’m living in the world of food
Oh, what a wonderful world

YES

When you say “yes”
Looks like you take me for somebody else
And then you undress
You always take me for somebody else

My love is just a drag
I don’t know what you want
My love is just a drag
Just a drag

Underwear
Is the border between the beauty and the beast
“Hear, hare here”
The message is loud, the message is clear

My love is just a drag
I don’t know what you want
My love is just a drag
Just a drag

LE PETIT CHATTON

Le petit chatton, comment tu t’appelle?
Ou est ta maison?
Le petit chatton
Le petit chatton
Veux tu du fromage?
Veux tu du lait?
Le petit chatton
Le petit chatton
Veux tu de la biere?
Non, papa, non
Je veux du vin

AT THE PARTY

I called ‘em, I told ‘em that I will come
There will be so many people I know
There will be some people I need to talk to
I came in time
There were lots of friends of mine
There were some people I really like
There were some people I had to talk to

No-one could even suspect
No-one could even suspect
I came to that place just in hope to see you

I called ‘em, I told ‘em that I will come
There will be so many people I know
There will be some people I need to talk to
I came in time
There were lots of friends of mine
There were some people I do not like
There were some humdrums I had to talk to

No-one could even suspect
No-one could even suspect
I came there because there I had a chance to see you

I'M LAZY

I should have told you, girl
Let you know how I feel about you
Should have let you know
How I feel about you
I should have brought you love
And the bestest flowers in the world
Should have brought you love
Should have brought you love

But I’m lazy

I should have dried your tears
Should have given you a chance
I should have kissed your feet
Should have kissed your feet
I should have told you, girl
Should have told you “I love you”
Should have let you know
I’m lost without you

But I’m lazy

In spite of what I am
I love you

KIDS HAVE TO BE HAPPY

Every day on their way to school
Little children laughed at him
On their way to school
Every day since he was born
Elder kids offended him
Mocked at him
Laughed at him since he was born

While their mummies kept on cooking
Their puppies kept on puking
Don’t know what must be done
Kids have to be happy

Then he tried to fall in love
But all the girls were cruel to him
Poor little boy devoid of love
How could he know
What it’s like to fall in love?

And his mother kept on adoring
His father who kept on snoring
In his bed
How could they forget –
Kids have to be happy

Lord created him for good
But he’s turned out evil

KILL THE KILLER

Not a very special kind of man
The balls in the bag keep rolling and rolling
No room for mercy
No room for fear or love
Sorry, mate, it’s really appalling
Use a hammer, use a drill to pay the bills
Nail your colours to the must
They’re putting on their caps
They’re scheming the trap
They are not smart, but they are fast
And they eager to

Kill the killer

Evil is smart,
Evil knows the tricks
But good has got the bigger dick
Children adore him,
Children imitate him
But he’s nothing but a frigging freak

Mucho, mojo
Mucho, mojo
Who’s one is bigger?
We can measure who’s one is bigger

Kill the killer
Don’t let the killer go

A PIG IN THE POKE

Fame’s the garden far beyond
Where the sweets and candies cluster
Time flows a little bit faster there
Clench your teeth, my son
You will get there if you want

Girls will scream and boys will imitate you
They will steal your heart and soul
They’ll be kicking you if you fall
They’ll be wrinkling their noses
“This block isn’t hunny anymore”

Have no servants
Have no master
Had some friends, but you’re the last one
Have no ciggies, have no lighter
Have no children, but it’s private

I’m almost 40, but my life is still a mess
Nothing else but a joke
And my sweetheart’s gone to France
I am a nimble bloke
But I’m still a pig in the poke
The piggiest pig in this poke
 

I'M NOT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE

Music and lyrics Ray Davies
Published by Davray Music/Carlin Music Corp. 1966

I won't take all that they hand me down,
And make out a smile, though I wear a frown,
And I won't take it all lying down,
'Cause once I get started I go to town.

'Cause I'm not like everybody else,
And I don't want to live my life like everybody else,
And I don't want to waste my time like everybody else,
And I don't want to ball about like everybody else,
'Cause I'm not like everybody else,
I'm not like everybody else.

But darling, you know that I love you true,
Do anything that you want me to,
Confess all my sins like you want me to,
There's one thing that I will say to you,

I'm not like everybody else,
And I don't want to live my life like everybody else,
And I don't want to waste my time like everybody else,
And I don't want to ball about like everybody else,
'Cause I'm not like everybody else,
I'm not like everybody else.

If you all want me to settle down,
Slow up and stop all my running 'round,
Do everything like you want me to,
There's one thing that I will say to you,

I'm not like everybody else,
And I don't want to live my life like everybody else,
And I don't want to waste my time like everybody else,
And I don't want to ball about like everybody else,
'Cause I'm not like everybody else,
I'm not like everybody else.

ALWAYS ON MY MIND

People pass my windows by
Look inside and see me drinking
Georgian wine
They invite me to the parties
Maybe they don’t know
You are always on my mind

You and me were always free
Of love or hate or jealousy
But never could protect ourselves from pain

Running from reality
All we’ve got is a shining circle of golden sun
But that’s enough for us

Life goes on and sun shines bright
Every day and every night
But you are always on my mind
After all there’s something else
After all there’s something else
But you are always on my mind

WHO'S YOUR FRIEND?

Sometimes it happens so life comes to an end
And then comes just another day
And you need someone to take you by the hand
You need a shoulder of a friend
Who’s your friend?

We love you
We’ll come whenever you call
Don’t be shy to call
And you still need someone to love you
You need it now more than ever
Where are your friends?

Yes, all this will pass
But not without leaving a trace
You look in the mirror – is it your face?
They told you your best days are gone
And you grew old in a month
Who’s your friend?

You are
You are the only one
You are the only and real friend of yours
Who knows you much better than you
Who will be always with you

Who is your friend?
You are
Who is your friend?
You are

But if you think that you are your best friend
You’re wrong

BETWEEN THE SHEETS

The world is spinning ‘round much too fast
And I can hardly remain on my feet
It would be better for me to stay between the sheets
I like my pillow, I like the sheet

But I’m to get up upon the morn
Brush my teeth, clean my home
Cook some food and feed my voracious cats
Lots of things to do
Lots of people to meet
But if I wanna be safe I have to stay between the sheets

I became famous by mistake
And now the papers consider me fab
I’d like to sleep a little bit more
But they say “Wake up, wake up”

So I’m to get up and go
And save the princess I love
Saddle my horse and so on
I have to brandish my sword
I have to blow my horn
But to be safe I have to stay in bed all days long

Morn is coming
Noon is coming
Night is coming
But I’m still in bed

Some people like the songs I write
Seems it so, seems it so
But almost all the girls treat me wrong
They don’t know, they don’t know

I wanna be alone
Although I wanna be loved
I wanna be loved all day and all of the night
And I need someone to listen to the songs I write
And I wanna stay between the sheets
All day and all of the night

Morn is coming
Noon is coming
Night is coming
But I’m still in my bed

ROBIN HOOD

There’s a man on a tree
He is stringy, skinny and lean
He is searching for food
He calls himself Robin Hood

Robin Hood was just a lad
Once he gathered his friends and said:
We shall live in Sherwood
Or I’m not Robin Hood

Robin Hood and his Merrymen
Are known all over England
Hang around in Sherwood
No-one bringeth ‘em food

Nobody goes to Nottingham
Through the forest of Sherwood
Neither a deer nor a hare
Live in Sherwood

Robin Hood and his Merrymen
Make an ambush and hide in the bush
They are searching for food
No-one helps Robin Hood
No-one supports Robin Hood
Who could feed Robin Hood?

GIRL I LOVE

Another day comes again
People laugh and smile
And hurry to their jobs
She also hurries
She’s got a steady job
So I have no time to tell her
I’m in love with her

Another day
The clock is tickling
I take the bus that brings me
Right to the girl I love
But she could be fired
If she’s late to work
So again I cannot tell her
How I love her
How I need her love

He said:
I’m an angel
They call me so
I’ve read a lot of books
That’s why they call me so
He said:
Dial her number
Call her after-hours
That’s the quickest way to tell her
How much you’re in love

TOGETHER WHATSOEVER

You were so tender and benign
And I was so happy with you by my side
I feel so unconsoled
Like that dog in yellow raincoat
I saw in the movies a year ago

I face people trying to help me
Who’s keen enough to help a boy like me?
I feel like a matchbox
With no matches inside
Since you’ve kissed me your last goodbye

Dreams that we had
Things that we did together
Will stay in my heart
Whatsoever

My friend, look at me
Take a gander
I opine I need a handy mender
I wear black suite and socks
And the black veil on my heart
Which is broken
It crashed with an awful sound

TEARS WE CRIED

We shelter from the sun
We hide behind the curtains
We sit and cry and hanker after
The days when we were young
This day fades
Then comes another one
I hope that day I’ll have the right to say:

I am the one who knows
Where he goes to
What he wants
Now I can see the road
The road that lies
Beyond the tears we cried

Oh, no
Sorry, I lie again

I’m not worthy to stand beside you
But I wanna be with you
I just wanna be nice in your eyes
And nothing besides
Oh, Gosh, how ugly this face is
How could it be?
I’ll never be attractive
But at least I wanna be

The one who knows
Where he goes to
What he wants

I want my innocense back
My virginity back
All my friends back
Dead or alive
