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. Original members Pete Quaife (bass guitar, vocals) and Mick Avory (drums and percussion) were replaced by John Dalton in 1969 and Bob Henrit in 1984, respectively.

I've just come in at Number twenty five 
I'm oh so happy, so glad to be alive 
And everybody says it's going to get to the top 
Life is so easy when your record's hot. 
Go tell my mamma and my sister too 
To press my trousers and polish my shoes 
I might even end up a rock-and-roll god 
It might turn into a steady job. 
And my agent said to me: "Son, I always told you so." 
Now my record's number eleven on the BBC 
But number seven on the N.M.E. 
Not the Melody Maker want to interview me 
And ask my view on politics and theories on religion. 
Now my record's up to number three 
And a woman recognized me and started to scream 
This all seems like a crazy dream 
I've been invited to a dinner with a prominent queen 
And now I've got friends that I never knew I had before. 
It's strange how people want you when you record's high 
Cause when it drops down they just pass you by 
Now my agent just called me and said it me: 
"Son your record's just got to Number One."
