Lyrics for X Ray by Kinks:
| | | Artist: | Kinks |
| | Album: | Storytellers | | Track: | X Ray | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 405 | | | | Lyrics: | Don't be fooled by appearances,
it only shows what the world already knows
Don't rely on
the physical evidence
of what the x-ray pictures show
Because inside every straight
upright citizen a tormented
emotionally impaired psycologically damaged personality resides
And beside every crooked man stands an angel with wings
and the spirit can do truly
wonderous things
As I watch the hump-backed man hobble down the high street
I say
a silent prayer for myself
I was taken to the local doctor
for a consultation about my
physical health
I heard him ask about my family - history
"You see, Mrs. Davies, it
might be hereditary. Yes it might"
Maybe think about my family, 'cause socially could be
"You were a physical deformity"
'Cos the world only sees what it believes and is
revealed in the x-ray
It only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word
Yes/But there is more in this heaven on earth
than (what)/(what those scientists now
and) is revealed on/in the x-ray
Ev'ry morning I got up and looked in the mirror to see
if the hump had
appeared on my back. To my disappointment I was not a freak.
You see,
maybe there'd be side benefits to become in a cripple,
side benefits like prioroty seating at
football matches. And I thought
"If I'm gonna be a cripple, I'll go all the way"
They could photograph reality,
but they can't picture your fantasy
'Cos the
world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray
It only knows what it knows,
photographs, video and the printed word
Yes/But there is more in this heaven on earth
than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray
'Cos the
world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray
It only knows what it knows,
photographs, video and the printed word
Yes/But there is more in this heaven on earth
than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray | | | |
