"Here is your reward for working so hard / Gone are the lavatories in the back yard." -- from "Shangri-La" Good one Holly! Very rock 'n' roll! Seriously though, only Ray could work a word like 'lavotories' into a song and make it sound great!

There's a crack up in the ceiling, And the kitchen sink is leaking. Out of work and got no money, A Sunday joint of bread and honey.
What are we living for? Two-roomed apartment on the second floor. No money coming in, The rent collector's knocking, trying to get in.

I was born in a welfare state Ruled by bureaucracy Controlled by civil servants And people dressed in grey Got no privacy, got no liberty Cos the twentieth century people Took it all away from me.

Never seen New Orleans, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Still I dream of the Black Hills that I ain't never seen
All life we work but work is bore, If life's for livin' what's livin' for
People take pictures of each other, And a moment could last them forever, Of the time when they mattered to someone
I confess to the timid and the meek To the cripples and the beggars And the tramps in the street. I confess my cruelty, my ego and conceit. I've opened up my body and looked inside And I'm everything that I once despised. I confess for the thieves, The affected and deranged, I confess for the muggers and incurably insane. I confess to the ugly for being vain, I confess to those I hurt for causing them pain. I'm just a number Waiting to be called And it's time for confessing it all,

Big Sky looked down on all the people who think they got problems They get depressed and they hold their head in their hands and cry. People lift up their hands and they look up to the Big Sky But Big Sky is too big to sympathize

Never seen New Orleans, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Still I dream of the Black Hills that I ain't never seen The "Kentucky Moon" bonus track on this CD is an interesting expansion on these lines. It's become one of my favorite Kinks songs.

To the fields we are scattered From the day we are born To grow wild and sleep rough Till from the earth we are torn And a soul that is free Can live on eternally And the spirit can live on Though it's scattered in the world beyond And I've been out of my mind Ever since she's been gone

They filled us full of false illusions and promiscuity, And they led us down that class-less road to mediocrity.

And those who are successful, Be always on your guard, Success walks hand in hand with failure Along Hollywood Boulevard.
