Ordinary People Lyrics


[Star]
I am the image maker. I am the magic
Maker. I can turn the most ordinary
Man in the world into a star. to prove
My point I am going to find the most
Mundane little man and turn him into
Celebrity. Hmm! this looks like a
Suitably uninteresting house. I wonder
If there's anybody here with enough
Star quality?
He presses the doorbell.
[Star]
Hello. what's your name?
[Wife]

Andrea.
[Star]
Oh, that's a nice name. what's your
Husband's name?
[Wife]
Norman.
[Star]
His name's norman. that sounds
Ordinary enough. I would like you to
Join in a unique experiment with me.
I am going to take norman's place for
A few days. I 'm going to research his
Ordinary dull little existence.
[Wife]
Oh you can't come in now! the place
Is in a terrible mess!
[Star]
That doesn't matter. I want you to act
Normally. I want you to treat me as if I
Were Norman. I am going to sacrifice
My normal flamboyant life style and
Become ordinary, boring little Norman
For a few days.
Ordinary people
It's like another world, being here with you,
It's quite a trip for me, so this is reality.
I'm studying every movement, I'm trying to learn the part,
Now I want you to be natural, just relax and be as you are,
'Cause it's all for art, I want to observe the ordinary people
Tomorrow I shall become norman,
I shall go to his office,
Mix with his workmates.
And if they ask any questions
I shall say I'm doing research for one of my songs.
Norm and and I are changing places
And I'm going to make him a star,
So I'm throwing away my stage suit

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
The Kinks (1963–1996) were an English pop group that came out of the British R&B scene of the early 1960s.

Formed in 1963 in Muswell Hill, North London, they first gained prominence on the heels of the well-received and highly influential single "You Really Got Me" (1964). The group originally consisted of lead singer/guitarist Ray Davies, his brother lead guitarist Dave Davies, drummer Mick Avory, and bassist Peter Quaife. Quaife left (twice) in the late 1960s, and Avory finally left in 1984 as the result of a long-running dispute with Dave Davies, leaving only the Davies brothers as the core of the original group.

With Ray's songwriting skills and unashamedly English voices, Dave's impressive guitar work, and Avory's tight and steady drumming, the band became one of the best and most influential groups of British pop and the "british invasion" of the U.S.A., lasting longer than any of their competitors, apart from The Rolling Stones, as they broke up in 1996. Their catalogue of songs has been covered by Van Halen, The Pretenders, The Black Keys, The Stranglers,Queens of the Stone Age , and many more.
