Kinks - Ducks on The Wall - Текст песни

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. youre

Just a plain ordinary little bloke and

Even if you walked down the street in

A silver suit people still wouldnt

Recognise you. youre dull, ordinary

And uninteresting! youre a drag!

Star rises from his chair and smashes

The dinner plates to the floor.

Star:

I hate this house and I hate you, but

More than anything else I hate those

Ducks!

Wife:

Dont you touch those ducks norman!

They were a present from my mother.

Look, norman, Ive had enough of you

And your ridiculous fantasies. first of

All you wanted to be a painter, then

You wanted to be an astronaut, then

A footballer and now youre playing at

Being a rock singer. if you touch those

Ducks Im leaving!

Ducks on the wall

My babys got the most deplorable taste,

But her biggest mistake

Is 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 fixation

For cheap decorations

Shes 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 wall

And look at a duck that cant quack.

I love you baby but I cant fall

For those ducks on the wall.

I start to snuggle up and squeeze her so tight.

Then out of the corner of my eye

I see those ducks in flight.

I love you baby but I cant ball

When 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 ball

When I see those ducks on the wall.

And when I went to a cocktail party

With 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 mistake

Is 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 her

Ill 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 stay

Then Im going to fly away.

I love you baby but I cant ball

When 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 move

Theyre talking to me

Ive got to get away from those ducks.
