The Kinks - The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks - The Village Green Preservation Society from TV show

We are the village green preservation society
God save donald duck, vaudeville and variety
We are the desperate dan appreciation society
God save strawberry jam and all the different varieties
Preserving the old ways from being abused
Protecting the new ways for me and for you
What more can we do
We are the draught beer preservation society
God save mrs. mopp and good old mother riley
We are the custard pie appreciation consortium
God save the george cross and all those who were awarded them
We are the sherlock holmes english speaking vernacular
Help save fu manchu, moriarty and dracula
We are the office block persecution affinity
God save little shops, china cups and virginity
We are the skyscraper condemnation affiliate
God save tudor houses, antique tables and billiards
Preserving the old ways from being abused
Protecting the new ways for me and for you
What more can we do
God save the village green.

@corbijo0920 : Υοu 're welcome. Happy New Year and Long Live The Kinks!

[blockntackle]

Never will there by a greater lyricist than Raymond Davies...

[bartonim]

Just as essential as McCartney/Lennon when it comes to great British song! The Kinks' best, and an underrated classic. Give Ray a knighthood to reject!

@Gunman610 you don't have clue.

@Gunman610 No it was nothing to do with Phil Spector and his wall of sound. The sound of brass band music was as English as cricket. Not quite so many of them around now, but they do still exist. It's just part of the picture he was painting with his lyrics.

[ElektraAutumn]

I love The Kinks. Good song.

[frepler]

@blockntackle He's one of the best to be sure, and certainly one of the most clever. But I'd name a few in his league. Cole Porter, Oscar Hammerstein II, Paul Simon, Kris Kristofferson, Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, to name a few. What's amazing about Davies is that he could write really simple hard rockers like You Really got Me, and then something like this. Great versatility and scope to his writing.

Rhyming vernacular with Dracula -- that's pure genius.

[oasishaun]

china cups and virginity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
