The Kinks - Big Black Smoke Mono Version

Текст песни

She was sick and tired of country life.\nA little country home,\nA little country folk,\nMade her blood run cold.\nNow her mother pines her heart away,\nLooking for her child in the big black smoke,\nIn the big black smoke.\nFrailest, purest girl the world has seen,\nAccording to her Ma, according to her Pa,\nAnd everybody said,\nThat she knew no sin and did no wrong,\nTill she walked the streets of the big black smoke,\nOf the big black smoke.\nWell, she slept in caffs and coffee bars and bowling alleys,\nAnd every penny she had\nWas spent on purple hearts and cigarettes.\nShe took all her pretty coloured clothes,\nAnd ran away from home\nAnd the boy next door,\nFor a boy named Joe.\nAnd he took her money for the rent\nAnd tried to drag her down in the big black smoke,\nIn the big black smoke.\nIn the big black smoke.\nIn the big black smoke.
