《Second Hand Car Spiv》歌词

[00:00:00] Second Hand Car Spiv - The Kinks

[00:00:00] Written by：Raymond Douglas Davies

[00:00:14] I was born a slum gutter infantile

[00:00:16] Brute force educated delinquent juvenile

[00:00:18] I am a product of mass produced factory fodder

[00:00:23] Streets full of tenement blocks rat infested filth and squalor

[00:00:25] I left school went straight on the dole

[00:00:27] And unemployment's no enjoyment

[00:00:28] Welfare state owned my mind and my body and my soul

[00:00:32] So I worked my way up to be a second hand car spiv

[00:00:39] But don't judge me harshly because I'm just a slum kid

[00:00:45] I built up my business with a quick wit and fist

[00:00:51] So don't double cross me or my hoods will dissect you

[00:00:57] With their black jacks and shiv

[00:01:00] Slum kids never get a break they've got to fight their way up

[00:01:03] Wheel and deal beg and steal

[00:01:05] Sweat blood to earn a buck

[00:01:09] I didn't want to work on the factory floor

[00:01:11] I wasn't content I wanted more

[00:01:12] Than to be a slave of a lathe

[00:01:14] Work all day and go home bored

[00:01:19] So a second hand car spiv was what I became

[00:01:25] I built an empire because I used my brains

[00:01:30] He was a second hand car spiv up from the slums

[00:01:37] So don't judge him harshly because he's just a slum kid

[00:01:46] Then he moved into property stocks and shares

[00:01:53] And into high finance and you've got to agree

[00:02:01] That running a multi million corporation

[00:02:04] Sure beats selling cars second hand

[00:02:11] Once he sold old worn out heaps to the punters on the street

[00:02:22] Now I'm in control of the country as a whole

[00:02:27] And the world is at my feet

[00:02:29] The world is at his feet

[00:02:32] Power power I've got power oozing out of me

[00:02:41] And when you think of all the things I've done

[00:02:44] It says a lot for one

[00:02:45] Who worked his way up from the streets

[00:02:50] Yes I'm a second hand car spiv

[00:03:06] Do a deal buy and sell

[00:03:08] It's my trade I know it well

[00:03:09] Make a sale ring the bell

[00:03:11] And let the suckers go to hell

[00:03:16] Bank the profits count the change

[00:03:17] Another sucker comes your way

[00:03:19] Life is a crooked game

[00:03:20] And slum kids never change
