Back to front


Just come back where I came from,
Looks the same as something's wrong.
And all my friends that used to be,
Have gone and turned their backs on me.
Everyone's got different views,
Now I'm all shook up and all confused.

East is West, left is right,
Up is down, and black is white,
Inside-out, wrong is right,
It's back to front and I'm all uptight.

I've just come back from fantasy,
Right back to reality.
Stayed away too long but now I've found,
My world is turning upside-down.
I don't fit in but I don't stand out,
I should stay cool but want to shout.

East is West, left is right,
Up is down, and black is white,
Inside-out, wrong is right,
It's back to front and I'm all uptight.

No one knows where I come from,
"Who are you and what do you want?"
You've thrown away all that we had,
It's down the drain, it's all gone mad.
The word is out, I've seen the sign,
So you go your way, I go mine.

East is West, left is right,
Up is down, and black is white,
Inside-out, wrong is right,
It's back to front and I'm all uptight.

East is West, left is right,
Up is down, and black is white,
Inside-out, wrong is right,
It's back to front and I'm all uptight (alright).
It's back to front and I'm all uptight (alright, alright, alright, alright).

Are you listening?
(NO!)
Well then, I'll have to do it all over again!

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics BACK TO FRONT of THE KINKS is also present in the album Give the people what they want (1981)

Biografia

The Kinks are a British rock band formed in London in 1963 and active until 1996. Considered one of the most influential groups of the British Invasion, they left an indelible mark on rock music with their characteristic sound that blended catchy pop melodies with introspective and often satirical lyrics. The original lineup included Ray Davies (vocals, guitar), Dave Davies (guitar), Mick Avory (drums) and Pete Quaife (bass). Quaife was replaced by John Dalton in 1966 and then permanently in 1969. The Kinks released a vast discography of successful albums, including "Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society" (1969), "Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround" (1970) and "Sleepwalker" (1973). Their most famous songs include "You Really Got Me", "All Day and All of the Night", "Waterloo Sunset", "Lola" and "Days". The Kinks were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
