Root - I Met Ray Davies lyrics

Ray Davies Ray Davies Ray Davies 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
