A Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy (US Single Edit)
The Kinks

Hello you, hello me, hello people we used to be

Isn't it strange, we never changed

We've been through it all yet we're still the same

And I know it's a miracle we still go

Before you go, there's something you ought to know


There's a guy in my block, he lives for rock

He plays records day and night

And when he feels down, he puts some rock 'n' roll on

And it makes him feel alright

And when he feels the world is closing in

He turns his stereo way up high


He just spends his life livin' in a rock 'n' roll fantasy

He just spends his life livin' on the edge of reality

He just spends his life in a rock 'n' roll fantasy

He just spends his life livin' in a rock 'n' roll fantasy

He just spends his life livin' in a rock 'n' roll fantasy


Look at me, look at you, you say you've got nothing left to prove


The King is dead, rock is done

You might be through but I've just begun

I don't know, I feel free and I won't let go

Before you go, there's something you ought to know


Dan is a fan and he lives for our music

It's the only thing that gets him by

He's watched us grow and he's seen all our shows

He's seen us low and he's seen us high

Oh, but you and me keep thinking

That the world's just passing us by


Don't want to spend my life livin' in a rock 'n' roll fantasy

Don't want to spend my life livin' on the edge of reality

Don't want to waste my life hidin' away anymore

Don't want to spend my life livin' in a rock 'n' roll fantasy
