The Kinks

The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964. Categorised in the United States as a British Invasion band, the Kinks are recognised as one of the most important and influential rock groups of the era. Their music was influenced by a wide range of genres, including rhythm and blues, British music hall, folk and country. Ray Davies (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Dave Davies (lead guitar, vocals) remained members throughout the group's 32-year run.

Ever since I was a child, 
I loved to wander wild 
Through the bright city lights, 
And find myself a life I could call my own. 
It was always my ambition 
To see Piccadilly, 
Ramble and roam around Soho 
And Pimlico and Savile Row, 
And walk down the Abbey Road. 
So I saved all my money 
And packed up my clothes, 
And I said good-bye to my friends 
And my folks back home. 
And I left for a life of my own. 
I left for a life on the road. 

I'm a real hungry tyke, 
And I know what I like. 
And I know where I'm goin': 
To those bright city lights. 
Oh yeah, oh yeah, 
This time I'm gonna get there. 
I'm bound for a life on the road. 
Give me life on the road. 
I said life on the road. 

When I arrived in Euston, 
I was little more than a child. 
And I didn't know then 
That the dives and the dens 
Would be so vulgar and wicked and wild. 
Mama always told me 
The city ladies were bawdy and bold. 
And so I searched night and day 
To catch a kissable lady, 
But all that I caught was a cold, 
'Cause those stuck-up city ladies 
Didn't notice me walk by. 
Now I've got holes in my shoes 
'Cause I've been walkin' the streets all night. 
And I'm livin' the life that I chose. 
Livin' my life on the road. 
I said life on the road. 
I want life on the road. 
Life on the road. 

I was standing with the punks in Praed Street, 
When a muscle man came my way. 
He said,
