“The Hard Way” by The Kinks
-Lyrics by Ray Davies
Boys like you were born to waste
You never listen to a word I say
And if you think you’re here to mess around
You’re making a big mistake
Cos you’re gonna find out the hard way
You gonna find out the hard way
No matter what I do or say
You’re much too dumb to educate
One day life’s going to turn around and slap you in the face
Then you’re gonna find out the hard way
You’ll take the hard way
Gonna take the hard way
Well, you’ll do it your way and I’ll do it my way
And we’ll see who’s the one to survive
You’ll find that with no foundation
Or qualifications
There’s no way that you can get by
No, there’s no way you can get by
Why don’t you take the easy way?
Why don’t you co-operate?
Don’t just sit there and vegetate
Do you want to end up illiterate?
You think that life’s a vacation
And you’ve no inclination
To dust away the cobwebs of your mind
Now it’s time for confrontation
And I’m tired of being patient
So I’ve got to be cruel to be kind
I’ve got to be cruel to be kind
I’m wasting my vocation teaching you to write neat
When you’re only fit to sweep the streets
Your intellect is such
That it requires a killer’s touch
So I’m going to play it your way
We’ll take the hard way
Going to take the hard way
You can take the hard way
Gonna take the hard way
Gonna take the hard way
You’re very welcome. My husband and I watched, “The Pick of Destiny” the other day, so the soundtrack is stuck in my head. Funny movie for metal heads like us, and they’re actually very talented musicians. They recently released a music video of a cover of The Who, and it’s really good. They paid tribute to the original with surprising accuracy while maintaining a touch of their offbeat humor.
Question - The Moody Blues
Why do we never get an answer
When we’re knocking at the door?
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war.
It’s where we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need.
In a world of persecution
That is burning in it’s greed.
Why do we never get an answer
When we’re knocking at the door?
Because the truth is hard to swallow
That’s what the wall of love is for.
It’s not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me.
It’s more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be.
And when you stop and think about it
You won’t believe it’s true.
That all the love you’ve been giving
Has all been meant for you.
I’m looking for someone to change my life.
I’m looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see what it’s done to me
To lose the the love I knew
Could safely lead me through.
Between the silence of the mountains
And the crashing of the sea
There lies a land I once lived in
And she’s waiting there for me.
But in the grey of the morning
My mind becomes confused
Between the dead and the sleeping
And the road that I must choose.
I’m looking for someone to change my life.
I’m looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see what it’s done to me
To lose the the love I knew
Could safely lead me to
The land that I once knew.
To learn as we grow old
The secrets of our souls.
It’s not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me.
It’s more the way you really mean it
When you tell me what will be.
Why do we never get an answer
When we’re knocking at the door?
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war.
It’s where we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need.
In a world of persecution
That is burning in it’s greed.
Why do we never get an answer
When we’re knocking at the door?
Thanks Kathy that was awesome
Andy Williams - “Softly As I Leave You”.
The Seldom Scene-Last Train From Poor Valley
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv16ZBPf_V0
“Now the soft new snows of December
Lightly fall my cabin ‘round
Saw the last train from poor valley
Takin’ brown haired Becky Richmond-bound”
Dedicated to Joe Biden’s war on coal.
His version is good as well.
As long as we are back in my era, I really like John Gary’s rendition of Softly As..
However, my favorite John Gary ballad is his absolutely unequaled version of Unchained Melody. If you haven’t heard that be sure and look it up.
