Second Hand Car Spiv - The Kinks[00:00:00]

Written by：Raymond Douglas Davies[00:00:00]

I was born a slum gutter infantile[00:00:14]

Brute force educated delinquent juvenile[00:00:16]

I am a product of mass produced factory fodder[00:00:18]

Streets full of tenement blocks rat infested filth and squalor[00:00:23]

I left school went straight on the dole[00:00:25]

And unemployment's no enjoyment[00:00:27]

Welfare state owned my mind and my body and my soul[00:00:28]

So I worked my way up to be a second hand car spiv[00:00:32]

But don't judge me harshly because I'm just a slum kid[00:00:39]

I built up my business with a quick wit and fist[00:00:45]

So don't double cross me or my hoods will dissect you[00:00:51]

With their black jacks and shiv[00:00:57]

Slum kids never get a break they've got to fight their way up[00:01:00]

Wheel and deal beg and steal[00:01:03]

Sweat blood to earn a buck[00:01:05]

I didn't want to work on the factory floor[00:01:09]

I wasn't content I wanted more[00:01:11]

Than to be a slave of a lathe[00:01:12]

Work all day and go home bored[00:01:14]

So a second hand car spiv was what I became[00:01:19]

I built an empire because I used my brains[00:01:25]

He was a second hand car spiv up from the slums[00:01:30]

So don't judge him harshly because he's just a slum kid[00:01:37]

Then he moved into property stocks and shares[00:01:46]

And into high finance and you've got to agree[00:01:53]

That running a multi million corporation[00:02:01]

Sure beats selling cars second hand[00:02:04]

Once he sold old worn out heaps to the punters on the street[00:02:11]

Now I'm in control of the country as a whole[00:02:22]

And the world is at my feet[00:02:27]

The world is at his feet[00:02:29]

Power power I've got power oozing out of me[00:02:32]

And when you think of all the things I've done[00:02:41]

It says a lot for one[00:02:44]

Who worked his way up from the streets[00:02:45]

Yes I'm a second hand car spiv[00:02:50]

Do a deal buy and sell[00:03:06]

It's my trade I know it well[00:03:08]

Make a sale ring the bell[00:03:09]

And let the suckers go to hell[00:03:11]

Bank the profits count the change[00:03:16]

Another sucker comes your way[00:03:17]

Life is a crooked game[00:03:19]

And slum kids never change[00:03:20]
