Arthur — текст песни (Kinks)

Arthur was born just a plain simple man

In a plain simple working class position

Though the world was hard and its ways were set

He was young and he had so much ambition

All the way he was overtaken

By the people who make the big decisions

But he tried and he tried for a better life

And a way to improve his own condition

If only life were easy it would be such fun

Things would be more equal and be plenty for everyone

Arthur the worlds gone and passed you by

Dont you know it, dont you know it

You can cry, cry all night but it wont make it right

Dont ya know it, dont ya know it



Arthur we know and we sympathize

Dont ya know it, dont ya know it

Arthur we like you and want to help you

Somebody loves you dont you know it



How is your life and your shangri-la

And your long lost land of hallelujah

And your hope and glory has passed you by

Cant you see what the world is doing to ya

And now we see your children

Sailing off in the setting sun

To a new horizon

Where theres plenty for everyone

Arthur, could be

That the world was wrong

Dont ya know it, dont ya know it

Arthur, could be

You were right all along

Dont ya know it, I hope ya know it

Now we know and we sympathize

Wed like to help you and understand you

Dont ya know it, dont ya know it

Somebody loves you, dont ya know it

Dont ya know it, dont ya know it



Arthur the worlds gone and passed you by

Dont ya know it, dont ya know it

You can cry, cry all night

But it wont make it right

Dont ya know it, dont ya know it

Arthur we read you and understand you

Arthur we like you and want to help you

Oh! we love you and want to help you
