Village Green (Stereo) - The Kinks

[00:09.91]Out in the country,
[00:12.90]Far from all the soot and noise of the city,
[00:17.06]There's a village green.
[00:19.42]It's been a long time
[00:22.36]Since I last set eyes on the church with the steeple
[00:26.42]Down by the village green.
[00:28.92]
[00:31.56]'Twas there I met a girl called Daisy
[00:35.56]And kissed her by the old oak tree.
[00:38.06]
[00:41.04]Although I loved my Daisy, I saw fame,
[00:44.76]And so I left the village green.
[00:47.51]I miss the village green,
[00:49.92]And all the simple people.
[00:51.92]I miss the village green,
[00:54.52]The church, the clock, the steeple.
[00:56.42]I miss the morning dew, fresh air and Sunday school.
[01:00.77]And now all the houses
[01:03.76]Are rare antiquities.
[01:05.81]American tourists flock to see the village green.
[01:10.89]
[01:13.09]They snap their photographs and say Gawd darn it,
[01:17.59]Isn't it a pretty scene?
[01:19.76]
[01:22.50]And Daisy's married Tom the grocer boy,
[01:26.59]And now he owns a grocery.
[01:29.40]I miss the village green,
[01:31.89]And all the simple people.
[01:33.89]I miss the village green,
[01:36.44]The church, the clock, the steeple.
[01:38.28]I miss the morning dew, fresh air and Sunday school.
[01:42.92]And I will return there,
[01:45.76]And I'll see Daisy,
[01:47.16]And we'll sip tea, laugh,
[01:49.64]And talk about the village green.
[01:52.31]
[01:57.02]We will laugh and talk about the village green.
