Shangri-La - Ray Davies[00:00:01]
Now that you've found your paradise[00:00:05]
This is your kingdom to command[00:00:10]
You can go outside and polish your car[00:00:15]
Or sit by the fire in your Shangri-La[00:00:20]
Here is your reward for working so hard[00:00:28]
Gone are the lavatories in the backyard[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[00:00:52]
You've reached your top[00:00:56]
And 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[00:01:12]
You need not worry you need not care[00:01:16]
You can't go anywhere[00:01:22]
Shangri-La Shangri-La Shangri-La[00:01:26]
The little man who gets the train[00:01:44]
Got a mortgage hanging over his head[00:01:48]
But he's too scared to complain[00:01:54]
Cause 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[00:03:00]
Cause all the houses in the street they look the same[00:03:04]
Same chimney pots same little cars same window panes[00:03:08]
The neighbors call to tell you things that you should know[00:03:12]
They say their lines they drink their tea and then they go[00:03:17]
They tell your business in another Shangri-La Shangri-La[00:03:21]
The gas bills and the water rates and payments on the car[00:03:37]
Too scared to think about how insecure you are[00:03:41]
Life isn't so happy in your little Shangri-La[00:03:45]
Shangri-La la la la la la la la la la la la[00:03:51]
La Shangri-La Shangri-La Shangri-La Shangri-La[00:03:55]
Shangri-La Shangri-La Shangri-La[00:04:02]
You're in your place and you know where you are[00:04:22]
In your Shangri-La[00:04:26]
Sit back in your old rocking chair[00:04:31]
You need not worry you need not care[00:04:35]
You can't go anywhere[00:04:41]
Shangri-La Shangri-La Shangri-La[00:04:45]
Shangri-La Shangri-La Shangri-La[00:05:02]
