1625 Tage schon Ukrainekrieg, noch 901 Tage (hoffentlich) der Planlose und: Eigentlich die Lieblingsband

Ja. Die Kinks. Wer sonst?

Sie waren:

Gründungsmitglieder
Gesang, Gitarre, Mundharmonika, Piano	Ray Davies
Gesang, Gitarre	Dave Davies
Bass	Peter Quaife (bis 1969; † 2010)
Schlagzeug	Mick Avory (bis 1984)

H. besuchte oft ihre Konzerte in München, meist im Deutschen Museum.

Waterloo Sunset war der Hit, viele Englischklassen sangen es mit Hingabe (Lern Englisch mit Club 16). Besonders Farshid war hin und weg von diesem Lied (erinnerte es sie an eine Liebe?).

 

Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night?
People so busy, make me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
But I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze on
Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day, I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine (Waterloo sunset's fine)

Terry meets Julie
Waterloo station
Every Friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
I stay at home at night
But I don't feel afraid
As long as I gaze on
Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

 

Every day, I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine (Waterloo sunset's fine)

 

Millions of people swarming like flies 'round
Waterloo underground
But Terry and Julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound
And they don't need no friends
As long as they gaze on
Waterloo Sunset
They are in paradise

 

Waterloo sunset's fine (Waterloo sunset's fine)
Waterloo sunset's fine

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like coca cola
C-O-L-A, Cola

She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
L-O-L-A, Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

 

Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

 

Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman but talked like a man
Oh my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

 

Well, we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said "Dear boy, won't you come home with me?"

 

Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes, well I almost fell for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

 

I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me

 

Well, that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world, except for Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

 

Well, I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said "Dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man"

 

Well, I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

Lola

Sie stritten sich und sie prügelten sich auf offener Bühne, irgendwann: Disbanding.

Ray Davies verfolgt bis heute eine erfolgreiche Karriere. Für H. ist der Höhepunkt Glastonbery mit dem kongenialen Chor. Aber hören Sie.

Ansonsten hat H. alles - von den Kinks, analog und digital.
