The Kinks

The Kinks

The Kinks fue un grupo musical británico formado en Londres en los años 60 por los hermanos Ray y Dave Davies. Desde sus primeros tiempos estaban muy influidos por el Rock and roll y el Rhythm & blues americanos. En 1964 consiguieron su primer nº 1 en las listas británicas con "You Really Got Me", su canción más emblemática, dándose a conocer como parte de la Invasión Británica en Estados Unidos (nº 7 en Billboard) Esta canción ha permanecido como una de las más significativas de la década de los 60 y su sonido es considerado precursor del Hard rock. La evolución como compositor de Ray Davies, llevó al grupo a una segunda época con un sonido mucho más "británico" y Pop, que les proporcionó éxitos como ?Sunny Afternoon? o ?Waterloo Sunset?. Sus trabajos en estos años han ejercido gran influencia en movimientos tan distintos como el Glam Rock, el Punk, o la New Wave , a pesar de que, en términos de popularidad y apoyo de su discográfica, siempre estuvieron a la sombra de The Beatles, The Rolling Stones o The Who.

Letra de Living On A Thin Line
All the stories have been told
Of kings and days of old
But there's no England now

All the wars that were won and lost
Somehow don't seem to matter very much anymore
All the lies we were told
All the lies of the people running round
Their castles have burned
Now I see change
But inside we're the same as we ever were

Living on a thin line
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line
Living this way, each day is a dream
What am I, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Now another century nearly gone
What are we gonna leave for the young?
What we couldn't do, what we wouldn't do
It's a crime, but does it matter?
Does it matter much, does it matter much to you?
Does it ever really matter?
Yes, it really, really matters

Living on a thin line
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Now another leader says
Break their hearts and break some heads
Is there nothing we can say or do?
Blame the future on the past
Always lost in blood and guts
And when they're gone, it's me and you

Living on a thin line
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line
