THE KINKS - "DEAD END STREET"
Otro pedazo de tema de los fabulosos Kinks, en plena década de los 60.
En este caso se trata además de un tema muy reivindicativo, lo que se llamaba en aquella época "canción protesta", aunque en este caso no es de cantautor, sino dentro del pop-rock.
Nos habla de los famosos barrios obreros de Londres y toda su problemática, una vez mas el grupo demuestra que canciones que son de años ya tan lejanos como los 60 sirven perfectamente para la tématica actual. El tema es en parte drámatico, pero con esa dosis de ironia, de socarroneria que Mr. Ray Davis realiza como nadie.



Kinks - Dead End Street Lyrics
There's a crack up in the ceiling,
And the kitchen sink is leaking.
Out of work and got no money,
A Sunday joint of bread and honey.
What are we living for?
Two-roomed apartment on the second floor.
No money coming in,
The rent collector's knocking, trying to get in.
We are strictly second class,
We don't understand,
(Dead end!)
Why we should be on dead end street.
(Dead end!)
People are living on dead end street.
(Dead end!)
Gonna die on dead end street.
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
On a cold and frosty morning,
Wipe my eyes and stop me yawning.
And my feet are nearly frozen,
Boil the tea and put some toast on.
What are we living for?
Two-roomed apartment on the second floor.
No chance to emigrate,
I'm deep in debt and now it's much too late.
We both want to work so hard,
We can't get the chance,
(Dead end!)
People live on dead end street.
(Dead end!)
People are dying on dead end street.
(Dead end!)
Gonna die on dead end street.
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
(Dead end!)
People live on dead end street.
(Dead end!)
People are dying on dead end street.
(Dead end!)
Gonna die on dead end street.
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
Head to my feet (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
How's it feel? (yeah)
How's it feel? (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
Dead end street (yeah)
