The Kinks - Ordinary People paroles de chanson

paroles de chanson Ordinary People - The Kinks



I am the image maker. I am the magic
Maker. I can turn the most ordinary
Man in the world into a star. To prove
My point I am going to find the most
Mundane little man and turn him into
Celebrity. Hmm! This looks like a
Suitably uninteresting house. I wonder
If there′s anybody here with enough
Star quality?
He presses the doorbell.
It's like another world, being here with you,
It′s quite a trip for me, so this is reality.
I'm studying every movement, I'm trying to learn the part,
Now I want you to be natural, just relax and be as you are,
′Cos it′s all for art, I want to observe the ordinary people
Tomorrow I shall become Norman,
I shall go to his office,
Mix with his workmates.
And if they ask any questions
I shall say I'm doing research for one of my songs.
Nomand and I are changing places
And I′m going to make him a star,
So I'm throwing away my stage suit and I′m packing away my guitar,
For the sake of art I'm gonna mix with the ordinary people.
God these pyjamas are awful!
Awful? Well all I can say is my Norman wears them every night.
Alright, no sacrifice is too great for art!
The things I′ve done for music,
The things I've done for art.
So I'll make these sacrifices and I′ll take it like a star
For the sake of art I will mix with the ordinary people.
You′d better come to bed darling.
Coming! You'll never get up for work in the morning.
I′m making observations, and character simulations.
I'll mix with his friends and relations,
And he′ll be a part of me.
He's changing places with Norman,
To get background for his songs.
I′m immortalising his life
And I'll even sleep with his wife,
For the sake of art I'll go to bed like the ordinary people.
Turn out the light.
Turn out the light.
