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.

So long, so long 
Now I'm on my way 
So long, so long 
See you all some day 
Don't know where I'm heading for 
Turn my back and walk away 
Don't think about what's left behind 
Otherwise 
Think about the good times 
Think about the people you love 
Think about the sun that is gone 
And there ain't no use me talking 'bout the things we used to do 
So long, so long 
I'm better by myself 
So long, so long 
Don't need nobody else 
If I fade from people's hearts 
I'm glad I left them far behind 
There's one thing that holds me still 
I'm thinkin' 
The memory of your kiss 
The memory of your sweet caress 
The memory of you love that is gone 
And there ain't no use me talking 'bout the things we used to do 
So long, so long 
Got no time for tears 
So long, so long 
Got music in my ears 
Got no time for Muswell town 
Gonna look around now 
My old town was good to me 
But oh... 
Guess I'll say so long now 
Don't even say a word 
I'll turn my back and walk away, but oh... 
The day that I've seen everything I promise to return 
So long, so long 
Now I'm on my way 
So long, so long 
See you all some day 
So long, so long 
Now I'm on my way 
So long, so long
