Kinks - The Video Shop Lyrics
The local factorys been pulled downBy an overseas corporationNow all of my brothers are looking aroundFor alternative occupationI was sitting by the telly with my brother, kennyWhen suddenly the penny droppedWhile all of my brothers are sitting at homeIve got a bank loan and Ive opened up my very ownVideo shopVideo shopAt the video shopI can fly, fly you awayComedy and tragedy are all sitting on my shelfAnd if youve got a fantasyFor a small rental feeYou can set yourself freeAt my video shopAt my video shopAt the video shopI can fly, fly you awayAt the video shopLet me fly, fly you awayFrom all of the depression in you headCaused by all the living in the redIve got a bootleg version of citizen kaneA second hand copy of psychoIve taped them off the telly so you shouldnt complainAnd theres no guarantee youll get your money back againFrom my video shopMy video shopIf you want to escape, I can rent you a tapeTo relieve your situationIf you feel a bit low, I got a good peep showcos everybody knows almost anything goesAt my video shopAt my video shopOne fifty a day and Ill fly, fly you awayIts nothing to pay to fly far, far awayI can help you through that lonely nightIve got technicolour, black and whiteI can guide you through those empty daysMake you smile and take your blues awayO let me fly you awayAt my video shopFly, fly you awayAnother factorys been knocked downBut nobody ever complainsAnd all of my brothers are customers nowWe all play video gamesI can see it in the eyes of all the lonely wivesIf theyre bored and they feel like a changeI do sales, rentals, even a swopAnd if you feel like a change, well it can all be arrangedAt my video shopAt my video shopAt my video shopAt my video shopLet me fly, fly you awayAnd everyone who walks in through that doorHas got something that theyre looking forAt my video shopAt my video shopAt the video shopI can fly, fly you awayAt the video shopLet me fly, fly you awayOh, at the video shopOh, at the video shopOh, at the video shop
