Lyrics Ray Davies – Muswell Kills
Text:
Cause’ I’m a Muswell hillbilly boy
But my heart lies in old west Virginia
Wooo!
How’re you doin’ my blue eyed beauty?
Come on Honky hand it over
Let me spread your money ’round
Don’t look at me like a wide eyed stranger
Don’t shout out or make a sound
I got the gun and you got the dough
That’s what makes the money go ’round
They call it payback, country style
Cause I’m a Muswell hillbilly boy
Muswell hillbilly boy
Billy boy, Billy boy
Wooo!
You can make this cockney move away from London
Learn a new dance, sing a different song
Make him do-si-do with a different partner
But you can’t make him forget where he comes from
Well I’ve travelled far and wide in this great nation
I’ve been around the block and paid my dues
Had my ass kicked in on many an occasion
But didn’t come all this way to get shot by you
Cause’ I’m a Muswell hillbilly boy
But my heart lies in old west Virginia
Though my hills, they’re not green, I have seen them in my dreams
Take me back to the black hills that I ain’t never seen
Wooo!
Let’s have a knees up mother brown
Kick him in the goolies grab that gun
Give it large, come on my son
Take out vengeance ain’t that sweet
Let’s have a rumble in the street
Sophistication dies
When you unleash the animal inside, yeah
Vengeance, London style — ya know what’a mean?
Muswell hillbilly boy
Muswell hillbilly boy
Billy boy, Billy boy
Wooo!
And you can tell every swingin’ dick
You can’t teach an old dog new tricks
No way, no fucking way
So behave, don’t do it again
