lirik lagu ray davies - it's alright (havana version - the kinks name dialogue)
they were soon joined by a third manager. this guy was amost as tall as
they were. his name was larry. and larry spoke in a very slow deliberate
way. and larry always smokes his long havana cigar. he always had one
lit. and he always refered to me as c-ck. no no. c-ck is a london
expression for mate, chum
“h-llo c-ck. how are you c-ck? how’s your c-ck, c-ck, alright?”
but larry was crucial. larry was very important. because he knew people
in the music industry. robert and grenville had failed to get us a recording
contract. but larry knew a man who knew a man. larry said
“now we gotta be opportunistic. we gotta find you a name”
one evening we were having a drink in pub with larry and somebody
commented on the fake leather caps that dave and pete were wearing
someone else said that we were wearing kinky boots. a few days later
larry showed us the mock-up of the artwork for the advertis-m-nt
and there we were. we were called: the kinks. and i hated it
but larry’s eyes were glowing with excitement. “kinks, c-ck, kinks
“kinks, c-ck, kinks. it’s short, five letters. you’ll be bottom of the bill
but you need something that will stand out and kinks will stand out
i can see it. the curiousity value will be incredible. that’s a gimmic
me old c-cker. we’ll all dress in leather with whips and riding boots
very kinky. we’ll put the pictures in the trades, they’ll love it. maybe we
got to get a new stage gear, my boys, lots of buckles and leather strips”
i hated the name kinks, but what did i know
but larry knew a man who knew a man, and this man got us a three
single deal with pye records. the first record was a cover of little
richard’s long tall sally, but it died a death. the follow-up was significant
in that it was the first song i had composed for the kinks, a very naive
optimistic song called you still want me. unfortunately n0body did
the third record had to be hit, otherwise we’d get kicked off the label
