Geriatric Punks

OOOH! Muswell Hillbillies is one of my fave ever Kinks records, but all but about three of their LPs are my fave ever kinks records. And the other two or three have really good songs on them even if they're not among the dozen I count as my dearest dearest.

I loved the Kinks when i was a kid, and i love them more every year.

My top choice for Dave to play from Kinks Katalog. I tried to order them, and they're sort of in an order, but I couldn't do it very well. :

Days

Thank you for the days,
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me.
I'm thinking of the days,
I won't forget a single day, believe me.

I bless the light,
I bless the light that lights on you believe me.
And though you're gone,
You're with me every single day, believe me.

Days I'll remember all my life,
Days when you can't see wrong from right.
You took my life,
And then I knew that very soon you'd leave me,
But it's all right,
Now I'm not frightened of this world, believe me.

I wish today could be tomorrow,
The night is dark,
It just brings sorrow, let it wait.

Thank you for the days,
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me.
I'm thinking of the days,
I won't forget a single day, believe me.

I bless the light,
I bless the light that shines on you believe me.
And though you're gone,
You're with me every single day, believe me.
