The Kinks

The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964. Categorised in the United States as a British Invasion band, the Kinks are recognised as one of the most important and influential rock groups of the era. Their music was influenced by a wide range of genres, including rhythm and blues, British music hall, folk and country. Ray Davies (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Dave Davies (lead guitar, vocals) remained members throughout the group's 32-year run. Original members Pete Quaife (bass guitar, vocals) and Mick Avory (drums and percussion) were replaced by John Dalton in 1969 and Bob Henrit in 1984, respectively.

In the beginning of it all there was the land 
And the sea and she sky 
Then into the middle of it all there came man 
To live on the land. 

And then a great nation 
Put into operation an evolutionary plan 
Now mighty corporations and politicians rule the land 
Wish I could remember when 

We were more innocent 
Than all of those violent bitter men. 
The world was much younger then 
But we were much wiser then. 

Before we were full of discontent. 
It's too bad the simple ways came sadly to an end 
I guess that's the difference between now and then. 
In the beginning of it all there was the land. 

We were much younger then 
But we were much wiser then 
We never questioned why or when 
One day we'll be born again 

Our lovers and friends will remain 
To live in a world without suffering and pain 
And I can see a day when enemies are friends. 
And there'll be no distance between now and then. 
In the beginning of it all there was the Land.
