XRay — текст песни (Kinks)

Dont be fooled by appearances,

It only shows what the world already knows

Dont rely on the physical evidence

Of what the x-ray pictures show

Because inside every straight upright citizen a tormented

Emotionally impaired psycologically damaged personality resides

And beside every crooked man stands an angel with wings

And the spirit can do truly wonderous things



As I watch the hump-backed man hobble down the high street

I say a silent prayer for myself

I was taken to the local doctor

For a consultation about my physical health

I heard him ask about my family - history

"you see, mrs. davies, it might be hereditary. yes it might"

Maybe think about my family, cause socially could be

"you were a physical deformity"



cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray

It only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word

Yes/but there is more in this heaven on earth

Than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray



Evry morning I got up and looked in the mirror to see if the hump had

Appeared on my back. to my disappointment I was not a freak.

You see, maybe thered be side benefits to become in a cripple,

Side benefits like prioroty seating at football matches. and I thought

"if Im gonna be a cripple, Ill go all the way"



They could photograph reality,

But they cant picture your fantasy

cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray

It only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word

Yes/but there is more in this heaven on earth

Than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray



cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray

It only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word

Yes/but there is more in this heaven on earth

Than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray
