Prince Of The Punks lyrics
Song information
Artist: Kinks Album: One For The Road
Lyrics
A well known groover, rock 'n' roll user Wanted to be a star But he failed the blues, and he's back to loser Playing folk in a country bar
Reggae music didn't seem to satisfy his needs He couldn't handle modern jazz 'Cause they play it in difficult keys But now he's found a music he can call his own Some people call it junk, but he don't care He's found a home
He's the prince of the punks and he's finally made it Thinks he looks cool but his act is dated He acts working class but it's all bologna He's really middle class and he's just a phony He acts tough but it's just a front He's the prince of the punks
He's the prince of the punks and he's finally made it Thinks he looks cool but his act is dated
He tried to be gay, but it didn't pay So he bought a motorbike instead He failed at funk, so he became a punk 'Cause he thought he'd make a little more bread
He's been through all of the changes From rock opera to mantovani Now he wears a swastika band And leather boots up past his knees
He's much too old for twenty-eight But he thinks he's seventeen He thinks he's a stud But I think he looks more like a queen
He's the prince of the punks and he's finally made it Thinks he looks cool but his act is dated He talks like a cockney but it's all bologna He's really middle class and he's just a phony He acts tough but it's just a front
He's the prince of the punks and he's finally made it Thinks he looks cool but his act is dated He acts working class but it's all bologna He's really middle class and he's just a phony He acts tough but it's just a front
He's the prince of the punks and he's finally made it Thinks he looks cool but his act is dated He acts working class but it's all bologna He's really middle class and he's just a phony He acts tough but it's just a front He's the prince of the punks
