“I am a dull and simple lad
Cannot tell water from champagne
And I have never met the queen …”
Kinks:
Jam:
(I loved the Jam more than life itself, back in my days of imaginary Mod utopia.)
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
I am a dull and simple lad
Cannot tell water from champagne
And I have never met the queen
And I wish I could have all that he has got
I wish I could be like David Watts
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
And when I lie on my pillow at night
I dream I could fight like David Watts
Lead the school team to victory
And take my exams and pass the lot
(Wish I could be)
Wish I could be like David Watts
(Wish I could be)
Wish I could be like David Watts
(Wish I could be)
Conduct my life like David Watts
(Wish I could be)
I wish I could be like David Watts
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
He is the head boy at the school
He is the captain of the team
He is so gay and fancy free
And I wish all his money belonged to me
I wish I could be like David Watts
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
And all the girls in the neighborhood
Try to go out with David Watts
They try their best but can’t succeed
For he is of pure and noble breed
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Wish I could be like
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
(repeat)
Enjoyed. And, yes, class envy is as always something to be mocked. And, of course, everyone knows the Kinks are the most covered band ever.

“Because the Only Good Progressive is a Failed Progressive”
The Jam. Wow. Take me back to the best time of my life(until I met my wife).
“Its funny how you never knew what my name was.
Our only contact was a form for the election.
Now you got yourself in trouble.
Now you want me to help you out.”
–Little Boy Soldiers.
Thanks for the clip.
