The Kinks - The Video Shop lyrics
[The Kinks - The Video Shop lyrics]
By an overseas corporation
Now all of my brothers are looking around
For alternative occupation
I was sitting by the telly with my brother
Kenny when suddenly the penny dropped
While all of my brothers are sitting at home
I've got a bank loan and I've
Opened up my very own video shop
Video shop
At the video shop i can fly, fly you away
Comedy and tragedy are all
Sitting on my shelf
And if you've got a fantasy
For a small rental fee
You can set yourself free at my video shop
At my video shop at the video shop
I can fly, fly you away at the video shop
Let me fly, fly you away
From all of the depression in you head
Caused by all the living in the red
I've got a bootleg version of Citizen Kane
A second hand copy of Psycho
I've taped them off the telly
So you shouldn't complain
And there's no guarantee you'll get
Your money back again from my video shop
My video shop
If you want to escape, I can rent you a tape
To relieve your situation
If you feel a bit low, I got a good peep show
'Cos everybody knows almost anything goes
At my video shop at my video shop
One fifty a day and I'll fly, fly you away
It's nothing to pay to fly far, far away
I can help you through that lonely night
I've got Technicolour, black and white
I can guide you through those empty days
Make you smile and take your blues away
O let me fly you away at my video shop
Fly, fly you away
Another factory's been knocked down
But nobody ever complains
And all of my brothers are customers now
We all play video games
I can see it in the eyes
Of all the lonely wives
If they're bored and they feel like a change
I do sales, rentals, even a swop
And if you feel like a change
Well it can all be arranged at my video shop
At my video shop at my video shop
At my video shop let me fly, fly you away
And everyone who walks in through that door
Has got something that they're looking for
At my video shop at my video shop
At the video shop i can fly, fly you away
At the video shop let me fly, fly you away
Oh, at the video shop
Oh, at the video shop oh, at the video shop
