Shangri-La - The Kinks[00:00:00]
Now that you've found your paradise[00:00:06]
This is your Kingdom to command[00:00:11]
You can go outside and polish your car[00:00:16]
Or sit by the fire in your Shangri-la[00:00:21]
Here is your reward for working so hard[00:00:29]
Gone are the lavatories in the back yard[00:00:34]
Gone are the days when you dreamed of that car[00:00:39]
You just want to sit in your Shangri-la[00:00:44]
Put on your slippers and sit by the fire[00:00:53]
You've reached your top and[00:00:56]
You just can't get any higher[00:00:58]
You're in your place and you know where you are[00:01:02]
In your Shangri-la[00:01:06]
Sit back in your old rocking chair[00:01:11]
You need not worry you need not care[00:01:15]
You can't go anywhere[00:01:21]
Shangri-la Shangri-la Shangri-la[00:01:25]
The little man who gets the train[00:01:43]
Got a mortgage hanging over his head[00:01:47]
But he's too scared to complain[00:01:54]
'Cos he's conditioned that way[00:01:58]
Time goes by and he pays off his debts[00:02:03]
Got a TV set and a radio[00:02:07]
For seven shillings a week[00:02:13]
Shangri-la Shangri-la Shangri-la [00:02:17]
Shangri-la Shangri-la Shangri-la[00:02:34]
And all the houses in the street have got a name[00:03:01]
'Cos all the houses in the street they look the same[00:03:04]
Same chimney pots same little cars [00:03:08]
Same window panes[00:03:11]
The neighbors call to tell you things that you should know[00:03:12]
They say their lines [00:03:17]
They drink their tea and then they go[00:03:18]
They tell your business in another Shangri-la[00:03:21]
The gas bills and the water rates [00:03:24]
And payments on the car[00:03:26]
Too scared to think about how insecure you are[00:03:29]
Life ain't so happy in your little Shangri-la[00:03:33]
Shangri-la Shangri-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la[00:03:38]
Put on your slippers and sit by the fire[00:03:59]
You've reached your top and[00:04:04]
You just can't get any higher[00:04:06]
You're in your place and you know where you are[00:04:11]
In your Shangri-la[00:04:16]
Sit back in your old rocking chair[00:04:21]
You need not worry you need not care[00:04:26]
You can't go anywhere[00:04:33]
Shangri-la Shangri-la Shangri-la [00:04:38]
Shangri-la Shangri-la Shangri-la[00:04:56]
