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.

There ain't no beauty 
And there ain't no style
There's no quality 
And there's no purity
Honor's dead and buried 
Because it's unnecessary
Look at all the people 
Why they all look the same
They're walking to the factory 
In their cloth caps and trilbies 
They've got no style 
Ain't it a pity
They're tearing old quality down 
Without any pity
Now they're coming to take me away 
To Scrapheap City
They say that good manners belong on a heap 
They say they're outdated and they're obsolete
And now they're coming to take me away 
To Scrapheap City
There's no quality 
And there ain't no style 
Just miles and miles 
Of Scrapheap piles
There's no quality 
And there's no purity
They're digging up all of the flowers 
Because they look pretty 
And erecting identical concrete monstrosities
They're killing off all of the animals too
The only ones left are the ones in the zoo 
Now they're coming to take me away 
To Scrapheap City
Ain't it a pity
