Coversong written by Ray Davies
Originally made famous by the Kinks

Capo fifth fret 
     Am                G
The tax man's taken all  my dough
     C            G
And left me in my statley home.
E7                         Am
Lazing on a sunny afternoon. 
              G
And I can't sail my yacht,
     C          G
He's taken everything I've got,
E7                           Am
All I've got this sunny afternoon. 
A7                                  D7
Save me, Save me, Save me from this squeeze,
         G                            C   E7
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.    
      Am              D7
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Am                D7    G
Live this life of luxury,  
C            E7        Am
Lazing on a sunny afternoon, 
       E7
In the summertime,
       Am                 E7
In the summertime, In the summertime.

    Am                 G
My girlfriends run off with my car
    C                G
And gone back to her ma and pa
E7                               Am
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty.
         G
Now I'm sitting here,
C             G
Sipping on my ice cold beer,
E7                     Am
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
A7                             D7
Help me, Help me, Help me sail away,
              G                             C    E7
Well, give me two good reasons why I oughta stay.
      Am                 D7
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly
Am                D7     G
Live this life of luxury,  
C           E7         Am
Lazing on a sunny afternoon, 
       E7
In the summertime,
       Am                  E7
In the summertime, In the summertime.
[Chorus 1] Save me, Save me, Save me from this squeeze

LYRICS
Oooey gooey was a worm
And a mighty worm was he
He sat upon a railroad track
And a train he did not see,
Oooey Gooey!

Under the freedom train
Outside the station
Just a-cross the tracks
Where the matters
Met the facts
A relationship strain
Under the freedom train
Tagged
Bound and gagged
Found
Bound and gagged
Mothers wept for the swept
Tagged. Bound and gagged.
Under the freedom train
Violent base without a brain
Don’t grasp there’s nothing to gain
Under the freedom train
(Time to train the brain)
Outside the freedom train
When I say outside, I mean they ride…
Under the freedom train

LYRICS
Maybe… just maybe
Maybe it’s wishful thinking
Thinking maybe
But what was I thinking?
Maybe…
That we could get together
“Whatever” could be better
Together
Into the Age:
“On The Same Page”
Maybe, save me
From your free
To say together
Is to say “we”
Touch of a feather
Together
We see we

It began…
The evolution of man
From the water

Aren’t you glad
Problem resolved
We evolved

LYRICS
There’s a space
Between the doors
Does no one care
Any more
There’s no space
Up on the floors
Does someone care
Any more

Every name of the dead
Shall be read
At least,
If you’re name is said
Not the beast
666 fix
777
Gone to heaven

Quite contrary
Fence around a cemetery
People are just dying to get in
The End
Where we begin

LYRICS
Do you have a minute?
How far is infinite?
Gigantic
Or infinitely minute
Infinitely astute
Deaf, dumb and mute
Moot?

How infinite is infinity?
How far out
Do you need to go
Do you know?
Yes or know… question
Suggestion?
About how far out
Do you need to go
Do you know?

LYRICS
I’m starting to wonder
What it is I’ll do
When I discover
What you’re saying is true
Will I drop my head
And cry out the eyes
Will I open my mouth
And swallow my price
Have you ever tried?

I’m starting to question
What it is I’ll say
When I realize
The mistakes along the way
Will I drop my head
And cry out the eyes
Will I open my mouth
And swallow my price
Have you ever tried?

I’m pushing for answers
To the questions in you
Can you discover
What I’m saying’s true
Will I drop my head
And cry out the eyes
Will I open my mouth
And swallow my price
Have you ever tried?

LYRICS
I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
But, I confess…
I’m nervous
I’m serious…
Sorry if I appear delirious
But, I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
Keep your distance
I can’t kiss you
Not this instance
A 6-feet throw’s the best I can do
Blowin’ and throwin’
… love….
To get us through
Get between us?
Let’s careen us
Set our sails
Not off the rails
I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
Keep your distance
I can’t kiss you
Not this instance
A 6-feet throw’s the best I can do
Blowin’ and throwin’
… love….
To get us through

LYRICS
Glad to say we’re under way
Yesterday into today
Got my life to live
And my heart to give
The path to success
Cleared for all of us
(… is clear, no fear, is near… for all of us)

Here today gone tomorrow
Save the time from wallow and sorrow
Got my life to live
And my heart to give
The path to success
Cleared for all of us
(… is clear, no fear, is near… for all of us)

Passed the past moving fast
Present the present in our grasp
Got my life to live
And my heart to give
The path to success
Cleared for all of us
(… is clear, no fear, is near… for all of us)

LYRICS
What shall we do
The morning dew
Is due
To be through
Put to an End
A tragic send

What can we say
The midday sway
Gone away
I heard it said
“Put to bed”
[Instrumental Break]

What did we do
The nighttime view
Obscured blurred
A mar on far
To close to home
Soon left alone

My heart is going to explode
Now, your heart’s my abode
The way you display your posture
I’m sure of a pure future
Through your eyes
I realize
Adapt our hope
Yes, know no nope
I can see within you
There’s a lot we can do
When I listen to what there is to say
I can see the way to the day
Raise our spirits!
Can you hear it?
Raise our spirits!

LYRICS
Crack that whip
And make them go
If you can back it up
With what you know
[sound effects of garbage truck backing up]
The whip is just for show
Dogs and ponies in a a row
Snap the fingers
No one lingers
We’ve got a show to put on
Are you real or just a con
I love a performance from the heart
But, the conceit of deceit
I’ll have no part
Meeting the devil at the crossroads
All the souls exposed
Signed and sealed with your blood
Dust to dust back to mud

LYRICS
What color’s the sky
I mean which color of blue
In the spectrum of blue
The specific hue
The depth and breadth
Of sky blue

Red sky in morning
Sailors take warning
Red sky at night
Sailors delight

What color’s the sky
I mean which color of blue
In the spectrum of blue
The specific hue
The depth and breadth
Of sky blue
As a matter of fact
At night it’s all black
Except for pin pricks of light
Full moon brightens the nigh
Stars and mars
See mercury
Venus
Over us
