Ray Davies by Greg Brown
A smile, a smirk, a healthy cry
Always on top of everybody's game
So flamboyant and yet so reserved
The big picture taker the detail seeker
A master of relationship buy don't take his advice
A bit of England in every song
Music steeped in history and culture
Ray could tell a story just about anything
And you know Ray knows so much
Clever and dry, straight up yet sly
Softly so as not to upset us, then forceful as a blast
Energy is pouring out all around you
And experience is bring transformed into art
Respect for all that you've done
Don't play it down, you've done your part
La la fa la la la la
La la fa la la la la
Neatly packed in 3 minutes or less
Songs, albums and records more than most
Hits so good that no one know your name
Until they hear your magic on the dial again
La la fa la la la la
La la fa la la la la
