Текст песни «Kinks - Low Budget»

CHEAP IS SMALL AND NOT TOO STEEP
BUT BEST OF ALL CHEAP IS CHEAP
CIRCUMSTANCE HAS FORCED MY HAND
TO BE A CUT PRICE PERSON IN A LOW BUDGET LAND
TIMES ARE HARD BUT WE'LL ALL SURVIVE
I JUST GOT TO LEARN TO ECONOMIZE

I'M ON A LOW LOW BUDGET!
I'M ON A LOW LOW BUDGET!
I'M NOT CHEAP, YOU UNDERSTAND
I'M JUST A CUT PRICE PERSON IN A LOW BUDGET LAND
EXCUSE MY SHOES THEY DON'T QUITE FIT
THEY'RE A SPECIAL OFFER AND THEY HURT ME A BIT
EVEN MY TROUSERS ARE GIVING ME PAIN
THEY WERE SO REDUCED IN A SALE SO I SHOULDN'T COMPLIN
THEY SQEEZE ME SO TIGHT SO I CAN'T TAKE NO MORE
THEY'RE SIZE 28 BUT I TAKE 34

I'M ON A LOW LOW BUDGET!
WHAT DID YOU SAY
I'M ON A LOW LOW BUDGET!
I THOUGHT YOU SAY THAT
I'M ON A LOW LOW BUDGET!
I'M A CUT PRICE PERSON IN A LOW BUDGET LAND

I'M SHOPPING AT WOOLWORTH AND LOW DISCOUNT STORES
I'M DROPPING MY STANDARDS SO THAT I CAN BUY MORE
LOW BUDGET SURE KEEPS ME ON MY TOES
I COUNT EVERY PENNY AND I WATCH WHERE IT GOES
WE'RE ALL ON OUR UPPERS WE'RE ALL GOING SKINT
I USED TO SMOKE CIGARS BUT NOW I SUCK POLO MINTS

I'M ON A LOW LOW BUDGET!
WHAT DID YOU SAY
YEAH I'M ON A LOW LOW BUDGET!
I THOUGHT YOU SAID THAT
I'M ON A LOW LOW BUDGET!
LOW BUDGET LOW BUDGET

ART TAKES TIME, TIME IS MONEY
MONEY'S SCACE AND THAT AIN'T FUNNY
MILLIONAIRES ARE THINGS OF THE PAST
WE'RE IN LOW BUDGETVILLE WHERE NOTHING CAN LAST
MONEY'S RARE THERE'S NONE TO BE FOUND
SO DON'T THINK I'M TIGHT IF I DON'T BUY A ROUND

I'M ON A LOW LOW BUDGET!
WHAT DID YOU SAY
YES I'M ON A LOW LOW BUDGET!
I THOUGHT YOU SAID THAT
I'M ON A LOW LOW BUDGET!
I'M A CUT PRICE PERSON IN A LOW BUDGET LAND
I'M ON A LOW LOW BUDGET!
SAY IT AGAIN
LOW BUDGET
ONE MORE TIME
LOW BUDGET


@SONG : IN A SPACE

IN A SPACE, ALLOCATED TO ME BY THE HUMAN RACE
INHABITING THIS AREA UNTIL I DIE THIS SPACE IS OCCUPIED
I'M IN A SPACE LEASED BY KIND PERMISSION OF THE HUMAN RACE
CLOSE UP I AM BIG BUT FAR AWAY I'M SMALL AND HARDLY HERE AT ALL
'CAUSE IN A SPACE OUT IN SPACE
WE DISAPPEAR WITHOUT A TRACE

NOW I'M OUT IN INNER SPACE
AND LOOKIN' AT THE PEOPLE, STANDING FACE TO FACE
AND FILLING UP THE SPACE
MEN AND WOMEN BOYS AND GIRLS
THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD
THINKIN' ABOUT THE WORLD
AND ALL THE PEOPLE IN IT
AND I'M STARING AT THE STARS
AND INTO THE INFINITE
IN A WORLD WITHOUT A WORLD
ON A PLANET THAT'S
DRIFTIN' IN A SPACE

SECONDS INTO MINUTES AND MINUTES
INTO HOUR AND HOURS INTO DAYS
AND DAYS INTO MONTHS AND MONTHS INTO YEARS
THOUSANDS INTO MILLIONS, MILLIONS INTO BILLIONS
BILLIONS INTO ZILLIONS AND FOREVER AND FOREVER

IN A SPACE ALLOCATED BY THE HUMAN RACE
SOMEWHERE IN OUTER SPACE IT'S FAR AWAY AND I LIKE IT THAT WAY
NO I'M OUT IN INNER SPACE
AND LOOKIN' AT THE PEOPLE, STANDING FACE TO FACE
AND FILLING UP THE SPACE
MEN AND WOMEN BOYS AND GIRLS
THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD
THINKIN' ABOUT THE WORLD
AND ALL THE PEOPLE IN IT
AND I'M STARING AT THE STARS
AND INTO THE INFINITE
IN A WORLD WITHOUT A WORLD
ON A PLANET THAT'S
DRIFTIN' IN A SPACE

IN A SPACE, IN A SPACE, IN A SPACE
NOW I'M OUT IN INNER SPACE
AND LOOKIN' AT THE PEOPLE, STANDING FACE TO FACE
AND FILLING UP THE SPACE
ON PLANET THAT'S
DRIFTIN' IN A SPACE


@SONG : LITTLE BIT OF EMOTION

SEE ALL THE PEOPLE
WITH HATRED IN THEIR EYES
I CAN'T HELP THINKING THAT
IT'S ONLY A DISGUISE
'CAUSE UNDERMEATH THAT CORE
THERE'S GOT TO BE MORE
THAT WHAT WE REALIZE

MAYBE THEY'RE SCARED
TO LET THE INSIDE OUT
MAYBE THEY'RE AFRAID TO
SHOW WHAT THEY'RE ALL ABOUT
SO THEY PUT ON A HEAVY FRONT AND HOPE THAT NO ONE ELSE
CAN WORK THEM OUT
SO THEY PULL ON ALL THE HEAVINESS
BUT IT'S ONLY AN ILLUTION HEAVINESS
CAN'T YOU SEE
THEY'RE SCARED TO
SHOW A LITTLE BIT OF EMOTION
IN CASE A LITTLE BIT OF EMOTION
GIVES THEM AWAY

LOOK AT THAT LADY DANCING AROUND WITH NO CLOTHES
SHE'LL GIVE YOU ALL HER BODY
THAT'S IF YOU'VE GOT THE DOUGH
SHE'LL LET YOU SEE MOST
ANYTHING BUT THERE'S ONE THING
THAT SHE'LL NEVER SHOW
AND THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF EMOTION
A LITTLE BIT OF EMOTION
IN CASE A LITTLE BIT OF EMOTION
GIVES HER AWAY
BUT IT'S A SHAME SHE'S ACTING THAT WAY
SOMEHOW SHE'S GOTTA GET THROUGH EVERY DAY
AND THE ONLY WAY
IS NOT TO SHOW ONE LITTLE BIT OF EMOTION
A LITTLE BIT OF TRUE EMOTION
IN CASE OF A LITTLE BIT OF EMOTION
GIVES HER AWAY

PEOPLE LEARN THEIR LINES
AND THEY ACT OUT THEIR PART
THEN THEY TALK ON CUE
BUT IT'S GOT NO HEART
IT'S ALL ON THE SURFACE
AND IT'S ALL CONTRIVED
THEY'RE SCARED TO COME OUT
SOMEHOW THEY'VE GOT TO SURVIVE

LOOK AT THAT LOONEY
WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE
HE KNOWS NO SHAME
AND FEELS NO DISGRACE
HE'S GOT A LOOK IN HER EYES
THAT MAKES IT SEEM THAT HE'S FROM OUTER SPACE
MAYBE THAT LOONEY KNOWS WHAT'S IT'S ALL ABOUT
HE'S GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
BUT HE CAN'T SPIT IT OUT
HE'S UNCOORDINATED SO WE SHUT HIM OUT
IN CASE HE SHOWS A LITTLE BIT OF EMOTION
A LITTLE BIT OF REAL EMOTION
WE'RE AFRAID TO SEE A BIT OF EMOTION
SO WE WALK AWAY
SHOW A LITTLE BIT OF REAL EMOTION
SHOW A LITTLE BIT OF EMOTION
WE'RE AFRAID TO SEE A BIT OF EMOTION
SO WE WALK AWAY


@SONG : A GALLON OF GAS

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS TO BUY A BRAND NEW CADILLAC
BUT NOW I'VE GOT ONE, I WANT TO SEND IT RIGHT BACK
I CAN'T AFFORD THE GAS TO FILL MY LUXURY LIMOUSINE
BUT EVEN IF I HAD THE DOUGH NO ONE'S GOT NO GASOLINE

I WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER TO SEE IF HE COULD SET ME STRAIGHT
HE SAID THERE'S A LITTLE GAS GOING BUT I'D HAVE TO WAIT
BUT HE OFFERED SOME RED HOT SPEED AND SOME REALLY HIGH GRADE HASH
BUT A GALLON OF GAS CAN'T BE PURCHASED ANYWHERE
FOR ANY AMOUNT OF CASH

I CAN SCORE YOU SOME COKE AND SOME GRADE ONE GRASS
BUT I CAN'T GET A GALLON OF GAS
I'VE GOT SOME DOWNERS SOME SPEED ALL THE DRUGS THAT YOU NEED
BUT I CAN'T GET A GALLON OF GAS
THERE'S NO MORE LEFT TO BUY OR SELL
THERE'S NO MORE OIL LEFT IN THE WELL
A GALLON OF GAS CAN'T BE PURCHASED ANYWHERE
FOR ANY AMOUNT OF CASH

WHO NEEDS A CARAND A SEVEN-FORTY-SEVEN
WHEN YOU CAN'T BUY A GALLON OF GAS
WHO NEEDS A HIGHWAY, AN AIRPORT OR A JET
WHEN YOU CAN'T GET A GALLON OF GAS
THERE'S NO MORE LEFT TO BUY OR SELL
THERE'S NO MORE OIL LEFT IN THE WELL
A GALLON OF GAS CAN'T BE PURCHASED ANYWHERE
FOR ANY AMOUNT OF CASH
YOU CAN'T BUY A GALLON OF GAS


@SONG : MISERY

MISERY
I KNOW YOU GOT TROUBLES BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPREAD IT ABOUT
MISERY
YOU MOAN AND YOU GROAN BUT ALL OF THAT I CAN LIVE WITHOUT
WELL
UNTIL YOU STOP WORRYING YOURSELF
YOU'LL NEVER GET ANYWHERE WITH ME
I'LL STILL BE HANGING IN THERE BUT YOU'RE STILL A MISERY

UNTIL YOU LEARN TO LAUGH YOU'LL NEVER COME TO ANY PARTIES AT MY HOUSE
MY HOUSE
AND IF YOU GO ON LIKE THIS THE ONLY HOUSE YOU'LL EVER VISIT IS THE NUT HOUSE
NUT HOUSE

WELL
DOLLAR BILLS COULD FALL FROM THE SKY
BUT STILL YOU WOULDN'T BE SATISFIED
BUT I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU DEPRESS ME
AND TURN ME INTO A MISERY

UNTIL YOU LEARN TO LAUGH YOU'LL NEVER COME TO ANY PARTIES AT MY HOUSE
MY HOUSE
AND IF YOU GO ON LIKE THIS THE ONLY HOUSE YOU'LL EVER VISIT IS THE NUT HOUSE
NUT HOUSE

YOU'RE SUCH A MISERY, WHY DON'T YOU LEARN TO LAUGH
LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND
DON'T TAKE YOURSELF SO SERIOUSLY
AH AH AH AH

MISERY
YOU'RE ONLY HAPPY WHEN YOU'RE FEELING TOTALLY DOWN
MISERY
I ONLY EVER SEE YOU WHEN YOU'RE CHIN'S HANGING ON THE GROUND
WELL
UNTIL YOU LEARN TO LAUGH AT YOUSELF
YOU'LL NEVER GET ANYWHERE WITH ME
I'M DOWN BUT I'M STILL HAPPY BUT
YOU'RE SUCH A MISERY, WELL
YOU'RE SUCH A MISERY, WELL
YOU'RE SUCH A MISERY


@SONG : MOVING PICTURES

LIFE IS ONLY A MOVING PICTURE
NOTHING IN LIFE IS PERMANENT FIXTURE
OH NO, OH OH NO

BLACK GIRLS, WHITE GIRLS OH WHAT A MIXTURE
LOOKING AS PRETTY AS A PICTURE
OH NO, OH OH NO

WE LIVE, WE DIE, NO ONE KNOWS WHY
WE COME, WE GO, WE SEE THE SHOW
AND IT'S ALWAYS MOVING, ALWAYS MOVING
LIFE IS ONLY A MOVING PICTURE

OH, LIFE CAN SOMETIMES NOT BE VERY NICA
BUT THEN YOU MAKE YOUR CHOICE SO YOU MUST PAY THE PRICE
YOU TAKE THE GOOD AND BAD 'COS LIFE'S ALL WORK AND PLAY
AND IT SOON FADES AWAY
OH NO, OH OH NO

LIFE IS ONLY WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT
SO MAKE THE VERSES RHYME AND ALL THE PIECES FIT
THERE ISN'T ANY TIME TO MAKE MUCH SENSE OF IT
IT SOON FADES AWAY
OH NO, OH OH NO

LIFE IS ONLY A MOVING PICTURE
NOTHING IN LIFE IS A PERMANENT FIXTURE
OH NO, OH OH NO

WE LIVE, WE DIE, NO ONE KNOWS WHY
WE COME, WE GO, WE SEE THE SHOW
AND IT'S ALWAYS MOVING, ALWAYS MOVING
LOOK AT ALL THOSE MOVING PICTURES
NOTHING IN LIFE IS A PERMANENT FIXTURE
OH NO, OH OH NO

IT'S ONLY MOVING, ONLY MOVING, ONLY MOVING PICTURES
