Ray Davies
They say he invented heavy metal
But actually his songs are sort of gentle
He wrote about an England that, didn't swing
He was Lennon/McCartney, without the bling
He went to school with Rod Stewart
Rod went mega and Ray kind of blew it
Dropped by his label when he stopped being popular
They wanted hit singles, so he wrote rock operas
I tagged along with a couple of birds
Festival Hall supported by the Sherbs
I was some dumb kid from the burbs
I didn't even know half the words
I Met Ray Davies
I Met Ray Davies
I Met Ray Davies in his prime
And I didn't give a sh** at the time
Just like Brit-Pop only real
Makes Damon Alburn look like Tommy Steel
He was stubborn, grumpy and miserly yet,
You know he did give us Waterloo Sunset
The girls took me along backstage
Everybody acting half their age
They didn't care if he was England's sage
Just whether he and Chrissy Hinde were gettin engaged?
At the time I paid him no respect
I found out he was so significant years after the event
well thats kind of how his whole career went
I tagged along with a couple of birds
Festival Hall supported by the Sherbs
I was some dumb kid from the burbs
I didn't even know half the words
I Met Ray Davies
I Met Ray Davies
I Met Ray Davies
I Met Ray Davies
I Met Ray Davies
I Met Ray Davies in his prime
and i didn't give a sh** at the time
