Lola versus powerman and the moneygoround, part one

1970

The moneygoround


Robert owes half to Grenville
Who in turn gave half to Larry
Who adored my instrumentals
And so he gave half to a foreign publisher
She took half the money that was earned in some far distant land
Gave back half to Larry and I end up with half of goodness knows what
Oh can somebody explain why things go on this way
I thought they were my friends I can't believe it's me, I can't believe that I'm so green
Eyes down round and round let's all sit and watch the moneygoround
Everyone take a little bit here and a little bit there
Do they all deserve money from a song that they've never heard
They don't know the tune and they don't know the words
But they don't give a damn
There's no end to it I'm in a pit and I'm stuck in it
The money goes round and around and around
And it comes out here when they've all taken their share
I went to see a solicitor and my story was heard and the writs were served
On the verge of a nervous breakdown I decided to fight right to the end
But if I ever get my money I'll be too old and grey to spend it
Oh, but life goes on and on and no one ever wins
And time goes quickly by just like the moneygoround
I only hope that I'll survive

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

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.
