Текст песни The Follower / Any Time 2020 (2020 - Remaster) - The Kinks

(Eyes down round and round, let's all sit and watch the moneygoround
Everyone take a little bit here and a little bit there
Gonna be free like the birds and the bees
Running wild across the big country
You can hear that music play anytime on any day)
Remember the way we walked hand in hand
Through the great city
Past those crowded cafés and bars
We were not afraid because we were searching for a future
Now those streets are empty
We ask the question, "Where did our future go?
Why has it come to this?"
I went to church to light a candle for humanity
But the doors were locked
The shops were playing music from another time
And although the streets are empty
We are not alone
No, we are not alone
You can walk outside
On a crowded street
People pass you by
And no one stops to speak
And when you haven't got a friend
And the world's falling down around you
And you need someone to care
Any time you're down
Any time you're sad
I'll be there to see you through
And while the past, present, and future surround us
It could be anytime
But suddenly, everything stops
You can walk outside
(You can walk outside)
On a crowded street
(On a crowded street)
People pass you by
And no one stops to speak
The stops were playing music from another time
But in my overpopulated anonymity
I thought about you in isolation
So I stopped and said a ilent prayer
Then thought, "We are not alone
No, we are not alone"
But we are very small
And need someone to talk to
And we need someone to care
Any time you're sad
I'll be there to see you through
Any time you're down
(Any time you're down)
Any time you're sad
I'll be there to see you through
Any time you're down
Any time you're sad
I'll be there to see you through
Any time you're down
Any time you're sad
I'll be there to see you through
And it is not the future or the past
Yesterday, today, or tomorrow
It is any time
