Kinks - Ducks On The Wall Lyrics
After dinner norman becomes depressed.Star:Normans office got on my nerves to-day.Wife:What do you mean? you are norman!Star:(shouts) I am a star!Wife:Youre not a star norman. youreJust a plain ordinary little bloke andEven if you walked down the street inA silver suit people still wouldntRecognise you. youre dull, ordinaryAnd uninteresting! youre a drag!Star rises from his chair and smashesThe dinner plates to the floor.Star:I hate this house and I hate you, butMore than anything else I hate thoseDucks!Wife:Dont you touch those ducks norman!They were a present from my mother.Look, norman, Ive had enough of youAnd your ridiculous fantasies. first ofAll you wanted to be a painter, thenYou wanted to be an astronaut, thenA footballer and now youre playing atBeing a rock singer. if you touch thoseDucks Im leaving!Ducks on the wallMy babys got the most deplorable taste,But her biggest mistakeIs hanging over the fireplace.Shes got ducks, ducks on the wall,Ducks, ducks, hanging on the wall.My ladys got a sort of strange fascination,An obsessive fixationFor cheap decorationsShes got ducks, ducks on the wall.Ducks, ducks, hanging on the wall.Wo-wo-wo I love her so but if she doesnt move the ducks,I think my mind is gonna go.Ducks ducks on the wall.Ducks ducks, hanging on the wall.I leave the office and I want to relax.Dont want to stare at a wallAnd look at a duck that cant quack.I love you baby but I cant fallFor those ducks on the wall.I start to snuggle up and squeeze her so tight.Then out of the corner of my eyeI see those ducks in flight.I love you baby but I cant ballWhen I see those ducks on the wall.Wo-wo-wo I can sit through your gossip and your soap opera shows,But those ducks have got to go.I love you baby but I cant ballWhen I see those ducks on the wall.And when I went to a *****tail partyWith the bores next door,What was the first thing that I saw?Ducks, ducks on the wall.Ducks, ducks hanging on the wall.My babys got the most deplorable taste,But her biggest mistakeIs hanging over the fireplace.Shes got ducks, ducks on the wall,Ducks, ducks hanging on the wall.Ill sit and look at all the soap operas with herIll play all the panel games and watch all the quiz shows,But those ducks theyve got to go,Those ducks are getting up my nose.If those ducks can fly, well so can i.And if those ducks have got to stayThen Im going to fly away.I love you baby but I cant ballWhen I see those ducks on the wall.Ducks, ducks, ducks on the wall.Ducks, ducks, ducks on the wall.Oh those ducks on the wall are beginning to moveTheyre talking to meIve got to get away from those ducks.
