Top Of The Pops
The Kinks
TOP OF THE POPS As recorded by The Kinks (From the 1970 Album "LOLA VERSUS POWERMAN AND THE MONEYGOROUND PART ONE") [Intro] (Drum roll) "Yes it’s number one - it’s Top of the Pops!" [Verse 1] I’ve just come in at Number 25 I’m oh so happy so glad to be alive And everybody says it’s gonna get to the top Life is so easy when your record’s hot [Verse 2] Go tell my mama and my sister too To press my trousers and polish my shoes I might even end up a rock-and-roll god It might turn into a steady job [Bridge] My agent said to me: "Son I always told you so" [Verse 3] Now my record’s number 11 on the BBC And number seven on the N.M.E Now the Melody Maker want to interview me And ask my politics and theories of religion (Simulated interview session) "I’d like to ask you a little bit about your influences in your career so far..." "...ok man now stand over there I wanna nice shot of you all alright...alright Shot of a lifetime..." [Interlude] [Verse 4] Now my record’s up to number 3 And a woman recognized me and started to scream This all seems like a crazy dream I’ve been invited to a dinner with a prominent queen [Bridge] And now I’ve got friends that I never knew I had before [Guitar Solo] [Verse 5] It’s strange how people want you when your record’s high ’Cos when it drops down they just pass you by Now my agent just called me on the telephone and said: "Son your record’s just got to Number One And do you know what this means? This means you can earn some real money"
