Kinks - Flash's Dream (The Final Elbow) Lyrics
Scene: Mr. Black's army is closing in on Flash & The Spivs.After a long day's campaigning Flash, having overindulgedthe alcohol, has fallen asleep in his den.Voice: Cooee. Cooee. Flash. FlashFlash: Who is this?Voice: Wake up Flash. Can you hear me Flash?Flash: Who is this? Who dares to wake me from my slumber?Voice: Need I announce myself? Am I such a stranger to you?Flash: Say your name. Speak!Voice: I am your soul.Flash: My soul?Voice: I have come to show you who you are.Flash: Show me who I am? I know who I am you upstart! Howdare you intrude.Voice: You lied and schemed and took over a simple village andturned it into a vulgar playground for your own money-making ends. Before you came people lived simple lives.This was a happy place. Then you ploughed up the fields,sold off the land and lined your own pockets with the profits.Flash: Lies! Lies! I did it to help the nationVoice: You did it for your own preservation!Flash: No! No!Voice: Prepare yourself Flash, there are many who suffered at yourhands. They are craving for vengeance. Time is running out.Flash: Can this be the end? Can this be the swan song? The finalelbow? I will not go. The people need me.Voice: Men like you will always come and go, but the people will goon forever. Take one final look at the past Flash. Enjoy it,because you have no future.Flash: No! No! No! I can't stand this.Trumpets herald the final confrontation between Flash and himself.
