Shangri-La - The Kinks

Now that you've found your paradise

This is your Kingdom to command

You can go outside
and polish your car
Or sit by the fire in your Shangri-la

Here is your reward
for working so hard

Gone are the lavatories
in the back yard

Gone are the days
when you dreamed of that car
You just want to sit in your Shangri-la

Put on your slippers and sit by the fire
You've reached your top and
you just can't get any higher

You're in your place
and you know where you are

In your Shangri-la

Sit back in your old rocking chair
You need not worry,
you need not care

You can't go anywhere

Shangri-la, Shangri-la, Shangri-la

The little man who gets the train
Got a mortgage hanging over his head

But he's too scared to complain

'Cos he's conditioned that way

Time goes by
and he pays off his debts

Got a TV set and a radio

For seven shillings a week

Shangri-la, Shangri-la, Shangri-la,

Shangri-la, Shangri-la, Shangri-la

And all the houses
in the street have got a name

'Cos all the houses
in the street they look the same

Same chimney pots, same little cars,
same window panes

The neighbors call to tell you things
that you should know

They say their lines,
they drink their tea,
and then they go

They tell your business
in another Shangri-la

The gas bills and the water rates,
and payments on the car

Too scared to think about
how insecure you are

Life ain't so happy
in your little Shangri-la
Shangri-la,
Shangri-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Put on your slippers
and sit by the fire

You've reached your top and
you just can't get any higher

You're in your place
and you know where you are

In your Shangri-la

Sit back in your old rocking chair

You need not worry,
you need not care

You can't go anywhere

Shangri-la,

Shangri-la,

Shangri-la,

Shangri-la,
Shangri-la,
Shangri-la
