Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
So tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I was a lonely soul
I had nobody
'Til I met you
But you keep-a me waiting
All of the time
What can I do?
It's your life
And you can do what you want
Do what you like
But please don't keep-a me waiting
Please don't keep-a me waiting
'Cause I'm so tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
So tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I was a lonely soul
I had nobody
'Til I met you
But you keep-a me waiting
All of the time
What can I do?
It's your life
And you can do what you want
Do what you like
But please don't keep-a me waiting
Please don't keep-a me waiting
'Cause I'm so tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
So tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
For you
For you
I suggest you watch The Sopranos. I didn't until it was a few years old, as I've never been into the mobster genre and tend to avoid watching violence. But someone told me it was really about family dynamics and that caught my interest.
Like all people, the Sopranos characters are like everyone in their culture and at the same time, completely unique. It's the richness of character & character development that makes the show brilliant. The way music is used is far better than average.
still zesty ! seen em twice both great shows I'm partial to the show in the old seattle center center colesium ray comes out takes a bow and splits his trousers stem to stern
I'm with you on that. RP helps make it happen.
I sing Any Day Now. Or Any Time At All.
......... most definitely 10
Great...one of my favorite earworms...
......... most definitely 10
sounds like you need a nappie.
Agreed. I never stop singing it. Morning when I wake, it's there floating and I sing it. All day long...last thing before sleep. I am beginning to think I'm in love with Ray...sighhhh...every little song he does is magic. (and I live in Los Angeles)
The group released three albums and several EPs in the next two years. They also performed and toured relentlessly, headlining package tours with the likes of The Yardbirds and Mickey Finn, which caused tension within the band. Some legendary on-stage fights erupted during this time as well. The most notorious incident was at The Capitol Theatre, Cardiff, Wales in May 1965, involving drummer Mick Avory and Dave Davies. The fight broke out during the second number of the set, "Beautiful Delilah". It culminated with Davies insulting Avory and kicking over his drum set after finishing the first song, "You Really Got Me". Avory responded by knocking down Davies with his Hi-Hat stand, rendering him unconscious. He then fled from the scene, and Davies was taken to Cardiff Royal Infirmary, where he received 16 stitches to the head. Avory later claimed that it was part of a new act in which the band members would hurl their instruments at each other.
Following the summer 1965 American tour, the American Federation of Musicians refused permits for the group to appear in concerts in America for the next four years, cutting the Kinks off from the main market for rock music at the height of the British Invasion. Although neither the Kinks nor the union gave a specific reason for the ban, at the time it was widely attributed to their rowdy on-stage behaviour.
Sounds like they were, at least partially, the author of their own misfortune. Also sounds familiar ....does Oasis ring a bell? I like the group and this song.
In the U.S., their records were released by Reprise Records, a label essentially started by Frank Sinatra, after 1964. The other part, with the union issues, is interesting.
The Kinks attempted to use non-union employees for setup and lighting at a time in the 60's when that was a dangerous practice. They also got into arguments with promoters over money on a trip to America. Subsequently, promoters and the union de-listed them which meant no one would work their shows. Since the shows needed to be worked out in advance of receiving travel visas to perform in the US, this effectively blocked them from performing in the US for 4 years.
" 'ello Cleveland!" *lost under the stage*

Interesting. I first saw the Kinks on Ed Sullivan. Shortly thereafter I dashed out and got their greatest hits LP. For this I was not disappointed.
EDIT: One also wonders if Hendrix and the Who read about this in the paper and

Hmmm, a couple of months later, and it's still striking a chord.
I, too, was there when it was new. Love it more now as it takes me back to good places from then.
yeah, it really is a 10. I had it at 8.

The power of rock 'n' roll as a mindset is embedded here.
Ain't it the truth...
