Letra de
Sunny Afternoon

La canción Sunny Afternoon de The Kinks, escrita por Ray Davies, se inspiró en una combinación del traspaso de la riqueza de Davies al taxman durante el apogeo de la banda y su descontento con la fama. Lanzada en un momento en que la banda enfrentaba presiones legales y financieras, sirvió como un lamento irónico sobre los problemas enfrentados por Davies. La canción refleja el estilo de vida de rockstar siendo contrastado irónicamente con los pr ... oblemas generados por el éxito y el dinero. Ver más [+]

The taxman's taken all my dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
And I can't sail my yacht
He's taken everything I've got
All I've got's this sunny afternoon

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I got a big fat mama tryin' to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In a summertime
In a summertime
In a summertime

My girlfriend's run off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Tellin' tales of drunkenness and cruelty
Now I'm sittin' here
Sippin' at my ice-cooled beer
Lazin' on this sunny afternoon

Help me, help me, help me sail away
Or give me two good reasons why I oughta stay
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In a summertime
In a summertime
In a summertime

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I got a big fat mama tryin' to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazin' on a sunny afternoon
In a summertime
In a summertime
In a summertime
