Kinks, The - The Village Green Preservation Society Lyrics

This song seems more relevant than ever now! Perfect brexit anthem

this song makes me think of hobbits.

Ich liebe die kinks👍

"Who are The Kinks!" The answer to last night's Jeopardy question about the VGPS "masterpiece" from this band.

First time hearing this

The lyrics are really poignant social satire... but I guess all of you know that already with it being the kinks and all.

The Kinks are the thinking man's group of the Big 4 British Invasion bands.

Still great band. 2020.

"God save The George Cross, and all those who were awarded them."

I can relate.

Everybody has either Face to Face, Something Else, Arthur, Lola, or Muswell as their favorite Kinks record. Nope! It’s this beauty for me.

Morning angel

fucking classic.

*T H E G R E A T E R G O O D*

The Kinks really packed a lot into a 3 minute pop song.

Covering his tracks with bacon and beans, however there was a loose end...

Hot fuzz

The sad man's Beatles.

The village green please save Donald trump !! From impeachment!!!

CatPianoChasers- we send them all to Kew Gardens for re-education.

I put Ray Davies among the very best ever

破茧成蝶，凤凰涅槃！

“Morning Sergeant!”

"Morning Seargent!"

Have you ever fired your gun up in the air gone aaaggghh?

“well he’s got something you haven’t got.”
“And what is that?”
“a great big bushy beard!”

Morning, Sergeant!

We are The Kinks, preservation society.
God save The Kinks for writing the line "God save strawberry jam and all the different varieties".

A criminally undervalued album.

I found this, thanks to my 33 year old son. I can't believe he's really into The Kinks! That's 1 for the Over 60 side!

"Heh heh heh... Cocks..."

The greater good

A great big bushy beard!

Here come the fuzz!

privileged

This song makes me want to wear tweed, smoke a pipe and ride a BSA around country roads

I really wish Pete Quaife never left the Kinks after the making of this album, the group was never the same without him.

Best Album ever made.

RIP Ian Gibbons

WAH WAH I ONLY HEARD OF THIS SONG COS IT WAS IN SOME MEDIOCRE FILM LIKE 11 YEARS AGO ;)


Kidding, I'm here cos it's the opening song off the best album of all time and I haven't got the record to hand

Hot fuzz anyone?

Saw these live at Norwich UEA many many years ago lol ,but watching Hot Fuzz so that brought me here 👮🏻‍♂️👮🏻‍♂️

We are the kinks band preservation society!

JRR Tolkien would like this song if it didn't have a *single instrument*

So great, so underrated...

*broken fence flashback ensues

such fab harmonies on this song ,,,the kinks were complete genius guys ,,they brought lots of happiness to millions of fans ...lol xx

Morning sergeant

This 1st rate album was ignored in the U.S. when it was released in the late 1960s. What a shame.🤔

Just got this in the mail last week. Nice set indeed. If any LP deserves a 50th, Village Green sure does! After Something Else, this album exceeded all expectations. Kudos to all involved, but especially RD for his best songwriting to date.

Britain is committing cultural suicide in favor of a bunch of invaders.

Morning, Sargent

“So no sign of them swans then?”
“Its just the one swan actually...”

I don't give a damn what people will call me for saying this, but whenever I hear this song it just makes me thankful I had the good luck to be born English, God save the Kinks and God save England.
Oh and Mornin Sargeant.

I love the Hot Fuzz fan club in the comment section :D <3

"We are the Skyscraper Condemnation Affiliate" XD

Sarianna Saberwolf I felt that one

I want to join the Skyscraper condemnation affiliates.

An English village in the spring is probably the most beautiful place on earth.

Why do you all autistic cunts have a wolf as an avatar. Beautiful creature, don't get me wrong, but is it some sort of autistic secret sign?

I think the Britishness was too subtle.

I’m here in 2019 ayeeee

Millennials need to listen to this because the world they want and are trying to inflict on everyone else really is the same world that Russia had under Stalin evil rule . There just the fools of evil for and about evil.

Get with the times, Stalinism is hip.

Lucifer Sam , NO NO NO stalinism it’s truly for uninformed losers that love the death , torture ,starvation and destruction of human beings, What is truly hip is Jesus The Christ .

Great album.This should have been all over the radio but of course it got respect and tiny sales. What a Joke

Crusty Jugglers

"why can't we say accident"
"'Because accident implies there is nobody to blame"

Great lyrics. I never tire of this song

The kinks what a band - there singles run of hits are amazing xx

Fuck it. A. Great. Group. The kinks. Were. Great

How can I listen to the STEREO version? complete album?

awesome drumming

Morning Sargent

Ray is the greatest song writer of all time. The Poet Laureate of music.

What's his deal with Donald Duck - Oooh, I just remembered my ex: What's your deal with Donald Duck? She answers, Stop it! You're being so abrasive! I am still left in a kingdom of Not Being Very Good At Parading Around In The Flesh. I feel nothing for the Donald, or for her sorry apologists.

Village green 2019 rise

This is the song of ageing, rich, pop stars sneering at the sort of common people who once trotted along to buy their records at the shop on the green. Vote For Britain Movement and preserve the village green.

Piss off.

No luck catching them killers then....

Hot Fuzz....

This song means more now than ever...

The best record from the 60's i have ever heard..I do however, prefer the Mono version..

'God save the George Cross and all those awarded them.' I always find that line very touching and agree with it wholeheartedly.

Fuck Hot Fuzz. This is a great Kinks song from 1968. Enough of reciting the dumb ass movie.

Though I wasn't born in their country, I adore George Orwell and I feel The Kinks and Orwell are in the same line.

1984 hasn't happened yet. It's only 1968 (A leap Year). Incidentally did you know 1984 was also a leap year.

Hot fuzz

If you wanna be a big cop in a small town.

Fuck off up the model village!

Criminal how the Kinks didnt acheive the success of the Stones or the Who. Equally as good if not better in terms of songwriting.
Ray was a genious. Totally cutting edge. Fucking brilliant 😎.

Brexit attitude anthem 😁

Wonderful in every way

GOD SAVE THE KINKS!

We should just focus on preserving antique tables and billiards..and what that means to each of us.

Life changer.

One of the best songs of the 60s, easily

This song just makes me happy :)

Why is he singing about Donald Duck tho? I've never understood what he was talking about.

Hot fuzz lol. Haven’t yet taken a shortcut before.

Hell yeah this is my favorite album from my favorite band

This album was finally made Platinum just recently. The Kinks were way ahead of their time and their wasn't simple so they didn't get a lot of airplay. I still say they are best British band ever. They never sold out to commercialism.

They sort of did during their arena rock phase.

God Save strowberry jam!
