When was the last time you heard this one by The Kinks?

Destroyer

Written by: Ray Davies
Published by: Davray Music Ltd.

Lyrics:
Met a girl called Lola and I took her back to my place
Feelin' guilty, feelin' scared, hidden cameras everywhere
Stop! Hold on. Stay in control

Girl, I want you here with me
But I'm really not as cool as I'd like to be
'Cause there's a red, under my bed
And there's a little yellow man in my head
And there's a true blue inside of me
That keeps stoppin' me, touchin' ya, watchin' ya, lovin' ya

Paranoia, the destroyer.
Paranoia, the destroyer.

Well I fell asleep, then I woke feelin' kinda' queer
Lola looked at me and said, "ooh you look so weird."
She said, "man, there's really something wrong with you.
One day you're gonna' self-destruct.
You're up, you're down, I can't work you out
You get a good thing goin' then you blow yourself out."

Silly boy ya' self-destroyer. Silly boy ya' self-destroyer

Silly boy you got so much to live for
So much to aim for, so much to try for
You blowing it all with paranoia
You're so insecure you self-destroyer

(And it goes like this, here it goes)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(Here it goes again)
Paranoia, the destroyer

Doctor, Doctor help me please, I know you'll understand
There's a time device inside of me, I'm a self-destructin' man
There's a red, under my bed
And there's a little green man in my head
And he said, "you're not goin' crazy, you're just a bit sad
'Cause there's a man in ya, gnawin' ya, tearin' ya into two."

Silly boy ya' self-destroyer.
Paranoia, the destroyer

Self-destroyer, wreck your health
Destroy friends, destroy yourself
The time device of self-destruction
Light the fuse and start eruption

(Yea, it goes like this, here it goes)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(Here's to paranoia)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(Hey hey, here it goes)
Paranoia, the destroyer
(And it goes like this)

Paranoia, the destroyer
(And it goes like this.)
 
I guess I'm the only one who has heard it recently! :crazy:
 
I "LOVED" that song in the 80s--in fact I went to a Kink's concert on one of my birthdays (maybe I was 17). Back when you could walk right up to the Capital Center and get tickets THAT night!!

I haven't heard that song in ages but would love to.

Blondie, do you by chance listen to 94.7 in Washington, DC, and, if so, was it part of the 15 years in 15 days collection?
 
I heard it the other day on 102.9 in Philly.. along with Celluloid Heroes, and LOLA.. (three play at three pm deal).

Now I hadn't heard Celluloid Heroes in a LONG time!
 

Give The People What They Want is one of my all-time favorite albums! (Yes, I said ALBUM!):)

Yep, we get 94.7 loud and clear here in **********! I did catch a bit of the 15 years in 15 days!

But I heard this song on Classic Rock that comes with the Dish Network!



*edited out the town I live* :wave2:

I used to listen to mine over and over. I think all my vinyl is in a landfill somewhere now. :(
 
LOL! I love the search function too now that it's working all the time! ::yes::
 
:confused: :confused:

This post was started yesterday...no need to search

Besides, nobody loves some good Kinks than me! You could call me kinky ;)
 
Correction, it was started on the 18th and was well down on page 7 or so.

But hey, thanks for bumping it up for me! :sunny:
 
Ooooo....another great Kink's song that is hardly ever played anymore!

(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman
Written by: Ray Davies

Published by: Davray Music Ltd.

Lyrics:
Woke up this morning, started to sneeze
I had a cigarette and a cup of tea
I looked in the mirror what did I see
A nine stone weakling with knobbly knees
I did my knees bend press ups touch my toes
I had another sneeze and I blew my nose
I looked in the mirror at my pigeon chest
I had to put on my clothes because it made me depressed
Surely there must be a way
For me to change the shape I'm in
Dissatisfied is what I am
I want to be a better man

Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman
Superman Superman I want to be like Superman
I want to be like Superman
Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman

Woke up this morning, what did I see
A big black cloud hanging over me
I switched on the radio and nearly dropped dead
The news was so bad that I fell out of bed
There was a gas strike, oil strike, lorry strike, bread strike
Got to be a Superman to survive
Gas bills, rent bills, tax bills, phone bills
I'm such a wreck but I'm staying alive

[Look in the paper, what do I see,
Robbery, violence, insanity.]

Hey girl we've got to get out of this place
There's got to be something better than this
I need you, but I hate to see you this way
If I were Superman then we'd fly away
I'd really like to change the world
And save it from the mess it's in
I'm too weak, I'm so thin
I'd like to fly but I can't even swim

Superman Superman I want to fly like Superman
Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman
Superman Superman wish I could fly like Superman
Superman Superman I want to be like Superman
Superman Superman I want to fly like Superman
 
Great songs, Blondie!

I just heard this one from Queen, its so appropriate for some:

Jealousy
Queen

Oh jealousy you tripped me up
Jealousy you brought me down
You bring me sorrow you cause me pain
Jealousy when will you let go?
Gotta hold of my possessive mind
Turned me into a jealous guy

How how how all my jealousy
I wasn't mad enough to let you hurt my pride
Now I'm only left with my own jealousy
But now it matters not
If I should live or die
'Cause I'm only left with my own jealousy


:) Gotta love good music! :)
 
Great songs!!

This one can also be appropriate, snoopy. It's by Elton John and Bernie Taupin:

I was justified when I was five
Raising cane, I spit in your eye
Times are changing, now the poor get fat
But the fever’s gonna catch you when the ***** gets back

Eat meat on friday that’s alright
Even like steak on a saturday night
I can ***** the best at your social do’s
I get high in the evening sniffing pots of glue

I’m a *****, I’m a *****
Oh the ***** is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
I can *****, I can *****
`cause I’m better than you
It’s the way that I move
The things that I do

I entertain by picking brains
Sell my soul by dropping names
I don’t like those, my god, what’s that
Oh it’s full of nasty habits when the ***** gets back
 
LOL Deb! That is a great one! The ***** sure had one heck of a superiority complex , didn't she?
