Ray Davies - Storyteller Lyrics






I'll tell you a story to pass on to the end
As told to me so long ago by my good friend
As we hollowed round the log fire, we laughed the whole night long
As he told me a tale passed on to him by a wanderin' vagabond
My friend told me the story and I'll pass it on to you
It was handed down this century and he swore that it was true

And in the morning I could see him fade
Was it fact or fiction? Who can say?
(Storyteller) I believe ev'ry word you say
(Storyteller) I bet you told a good tale in your day

He tried to tell the people, but the people wouldn't hear
Him spinning yarns and telling tales from yesteryear

Then he smiled and finished his story
He said "Will you pass it on for me?"
(Storyteller) I'll tell that tale for you
(Storyteller) Somehow I'll get your message through

My friend told me the story and I'll pass it on to you
It was handed down this century and I swear that it is true

    Interesting fact , Bobby Graham , the original session drummer the Kinks used on You really got me, was called back all those years later to play on this, to Bobby's delight. I would never had guessed this was a Ray Davies song.. it's really good don't get me wrong.

    It's there.

    i brought this album and i heard the story about Dave Davies shouting fuck off before the solo so i went to a record shop and i brought myself 'you really got me' 1964 single vinyl record and on the other side it had 'its alright' so i put this record into a player and i could not hear Dave Davies shouting fuck off? does anyone else have the rec cord? or heard it before?
