ray davies - x-ray lyrics

Loading...

don’t be fooled by appearances,
it only shows what the world already knows
don’t rely on the physical evidence
of what the x-ray pictures show
because inside every straight upright citizen a tormented
emotionally impaired psycologically damaged personality resides
and beside every crooked man stands an angel with wings
and the spirit can do truly wonderous things

as i watch the hump-backed man hobble down the high street
i say a silent prayer for myself
i was taken to the local doctor
for a consultation about my physical health
i heard him ask about my family – history
“you see, mrs. davies, it might be hereditary. yes it might”
maybe think about my family, ’cause socially could be
“you were a physical deformity”

‘cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray
it only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word
yes/but there is more in this heaven on earth
than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray

ev’ry morning i got up and looked in the mirror to see if the hump had
appeared on my back. to my disappointment i was not a freak.
you see, maybe there’d be side benefits to become in a cripple,
side benefits like prioroty seating at football matches. and i thought
“if i’m gonna be a cripple, i’ll go all the way”

they could photograph reality,
but they can’t picture your fantasy
‘cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray
it only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word
yes/but there is more in this heaven on earth
than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray

‘cos the world only sees what it believes and is revealed in the x-ray
it only knows what it knows, photographs, video and the printed word
yes/but there is more in this heaven on earth
than (what)/(what those scientists now and) is revealed on/in the x-ray
