- The Kinks Shangri-La (Stereo) 歌词
- The Kinks
- Now that you've found your paradise
This is your Kingdom to command
You can go outside
And polish your car
Or sit by the fire in your Shangri-la
Here is your reward
For working so hard
Gone are the lavatories
In the back yard
Gone are the days
When you dreamed of that car
You just want to sit in your Shangri-la
Put on your slippers and sit by the fire
You've reached your top and
You just can't get any higher
You're in your place
And you know where you are
In your Shangri-la
Sit back in your old rocking chair
You need not worry
You need not care
You can't go anywhere
Shangri-la Shangri-la Shangri-la
The little man who gets the train
Got a mortgage hanging over his head
But he's too scared to complain
'Cos he's conditioned that way
Time goes by
And he pays off his debts
Got a TV set and a radio
For seven shillings a week
Shangri-la Shangri-la Shangri-la
Shangri-la Shangri-la Shangri-la
And all the houses
In the street have got a name
'Cos all the houses
In the street they look the same
Same chimney pots same little cars
Same window panes
The neighbors call to tell you things
That you should know
They say their lines
They drink their tea
And then they go
They tell your business
In another Shangri-la
The gas bills and the water rates
And payments on the car
Too scared to think about
How insecure you are
Life ain't so happy
In your little Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Put on your slippers
And sit by the fire
You've reached your top and
You just can't get any higher
You're in your place
And you know where you are
In your Shangri-la
Sit back in your old rocking chair
You need not worry
You need not care
You can't go anywhere
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
