Shangri-La Lyrics


Did you ever get the feeling
That the truth is less revealing than a downright lie?
And did you think your head was hip
To certain things it's not equipped to qualify?All day long the sky is blue
And everyone says "How do you do" in Shangri-La
Every day's a perfect day
And you can go your own sweet way in Shangri-LaIn Shangri-La, in Shangri-La
You can be whoever you are in Shangri-LaInvestment with a good return, provides the means
Through which we earn our daily bread
Insisting on an equal cut
Some people even bust a gut to stay aheadAll day long the sky is blue
And no one has a lot to do in Shangri-La
In Shangri-La, in Shangri-La
You can be whoever you are in Shangri-LaIt's a strange world we live in
But surely we're forgiven if we don't know where to turn
With paradise for hire
On the back streets of desire, we all live and learnAll day long the sky is blue
And everyone's in love with you in Shangri-La

Lovers dance and children sing
And everybody does their thing in Shangri-LaIn Shangri-La, in Shangri-La
You can be whoever you are
In Shangri-La hah hah hah
In Shangri-La, in Shangri-La
You can be whoever you are in Shangri-LaAll together now, one two threeLah dee doo dah, lah dee dah
Here we are in Shangri-La
Lah dee doo dah, lah dee dah
Here we are in Shangri-LaLah dee doo dah, lah dee dah
Here we are in Shangri-La
Lah dee doo dah, lah dee dah
Here we are in Shangri-LaLah dee doo dah, lah dee dah
Here we are in Shangri-La
Lah dee doo dah, lah dee dah
Here we are in Shangri-La

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.
