kinks - When Work Is Over (The Kinks Present a Soap Opera)
When work is over he likes to hit the bars,
And at the boozer we'll have another jar,
Because drinking can help ease the strain
Of his boring occupation,
Dull conversation,
Living by the book
And the rules and regulations.
Drinking helps us to forget what we are,
We leave the office and walk straight to the bar.
Don't stop to think,
Have another drink!
Drinking helps us to relax with the chaps,
A double scotch and we forget where we're at.
Don't stop to think
Have another drink!
When work is over he likes to hit the bars,
Go down the boozer and have another jar,
Because drinking can help ease the strain
Of his boring occupation,
Dull conversation,
Living by the book
And the rules and regulations.
Boring occupations,
Dull conversations,
Living by the book
And the rules and regulstions.
Drinking helps us to forget what we are,
We leave the office and walk straight to the bar,
Don't stop to think,
Have another drink.

Yup, file it inbetween the "Background by Liquid Paper/Wite-Out/Tipp-Ex" and "Fabric Blowing in Slow-Mo For No Good Reason."
Thanks for taking it as the laugh it was intended as. Been the target of thumbs down of late and it kind of sucks. Have a great week.

One of the "best of the 80's memory songs" look at all the views. It's alright but the album was great. One of the best that year. Yeah - bettet than Michael Jackson and The Police in my opinion.

From the KastoffKinks's web-site - "The Kast Off Kinks formed and it is the original line-up consisted of the band that played Lola (apart from Ray and Dave), together with singer/guitarist Dave Clarke. The current line-up is the band that played Come Dancing, still with Dave Clarke covering for the Davies brothers".
It was Olive form "On The Buses" who did the mother's shouting on this record!!!
