The Kinks, Sunny Afternoon



The taxman's taken all my dough,
And left me in my stately home,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
And I can't sail my yacht,
He's taken everything I've got,
All I've got's this sunny afternoon.

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze.
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime (x3)

My girlfriend's run off with my car,
And gone back to her ma and pa,
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty.
Now I'm sitting here,
Sipping at my ice cold beer,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.

Help me, help me, help me sail away,
Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay.
cause I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime (x3)

Ah, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze.
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime (x6)

  딱히 이 노래에 엄청 혹한건 아닌데ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 킹크스 앨범 걸어두고 딴짓하다가 들으니 목소리가 너무 만도 디아오의 구스타프 같아서ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 헉 내가 만도 디아오로 언제 바꿨나 싶어서 보니 이 노래였다. 한번도 킹크스 들으면서 그런 생각 한 적 없는데 이 노래만 유독ㅋㅋㅋ 그렇게 들려서 왠지 웃었음. 아무튼 좋네요 노래도ㅋㅋㅋ 왠지 얼마 전에 레이 데이비스가 자기 솔로앨범에 만도 디아오 불러서 피쳐링 시킨 이유를 알 것 같다느 생각이 문득 들었다...
