Píseň: A Long Way From Home

Interpret:
Kinks, The
Album:
Lola versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One
You've come a long way 
from the runny-nosed and scruffy kid
I knew 
You had such good ways 


I can remember the little things
that always made 
you smile 
They made you happy 


Now you think 
you're wiser because you're older 
and you think 
That money buys everything 


And you think 
that you need no one
to guide you 
But you're still 
a long way from home. 


You've come a long way,
you're self-assured and dressed 
in funny clothes
but you don't know me. 


I hope
you find what you are looking for 
with your car 
and your handmade overcoats 


But your wealth 
will never make you stronger 
'cos you're still 
a long way from home 
Yeah, you're still 
a long way from home
