Dead End Street

About Dead End Street

"Dead End Street" is a song by the British band the Kinks from 1966, written by main songwriter Ray Davies. Like many other songs written by Davies, it is to some degree influenced by British Music Hall. It was originally released as a non-album single, but has since been included as one of several bonus tracks from the Face to Face CD. The song, like many others by the group, deals with the poverty and misery found in the lower classes of English society. The song was a big success in the UK, reaching #5 on the singles charts, but only reached #73 in the United States. In 1976 it ranked #72 on New Musical Express's list of the Top 100 Singles of All Time. Some labels list the song as "Deadend Street". more »

There's a crack up in the ceiling
And the kitchen the
Other work ain't got no money
I song to join the bread and honey.

What are we livin' for?
Two room department on the second floor
No money coming in, and red collectors are try to get in.

We are straight the second class
And the door on the stairs (dead end)
Why we should be on dead end street
(Dead end) people are living on dead end street
(Dead end)don't wanna die on dead end street
Dead end street, dead end street
Dead end street, head to my feet.

All my frost morning
Wipe my eyes and stop me onion
And my feet are nearly frozen
And put some toast on.

What are we livin' for?
Two room department on the second floor
No chance to emigrate
And different..now it's much too late.

We both want to work so hard but we can't
Can't be changed.

(Dead end) people are living on dead end street
(Dead end)don't wanna die on dead end street
Dead end, people are dyin on dead end street
Dead end, I'm gonna die on dead end street
Dead end street, dead end street
Dead end street head to my feet.

Uh uh

We are second and we're on the 

(Dead end) people are living on dead end street
(Dead end)don't wanna die on dead end street
Dead end, people are dyin on dead end street
Dead end, I'm gonna die on dead end street
Dead end street, dead end street
Dead end street head to my feet.

Dead end street, dead end street
Dead end street, dead end street
How do you feel?
I feel okay
Are you sure?
Absolutely.
Where do you live?
Nice working with you
The pleasure is all mine.
Tschus!
No problem.

Dead end street, dead end street
Dead end street head to my feet.
