Permanent Waves

Please call a doctor,

I've been so depressed


That I think that I'm finally breakin'


I can't quite explain,

I can't feel any pain


But I know that this time I'm not fakin'


Oh, what can it be, oh, inside of me



I saw my doctor he said man you look sick


He said I think you better do something quick


He checked me over and he said I was fit


What you need is a change, have a shave, find a chick

Your body functions but your hair's a disgrace


You shouldn't let it hang all over your face


Change your image 'cos you look out of place


Comb your hair, put on weight, try to look up to date


Why don't you put in some permanent waves


You'll look smooth, you'll look cool, you'll be laughing


You'll get lots of dates, you'll be made, you'll get laid


You'll get out and about, you'll be laughing


Oh, you'll be O.K. once you get those permanent waves



I was really up but now I'm down once again


I went out walking and it started to rain


My perm washed out it just got flushed down the drain


My neurosis returned, I'm a wreck once again


But wait 'til I get back my permanent waves


I'll be cool, I'll be smooth, I'll be laughing


I'll be all the rage in my permanent waves


And I'll start a new craze, I'll be laughing


Oh, I'll be O.K. once I get my permanent waves

Kinks were a very underrated, excellent band. also a heck of a sense of humor.

This is just a brilliant song. I hate it when people say that The Kinks never did anything decent after 1972.

Only Ray Davies could write lines like this: I was really up but now I'm down once again I went out walking and it started to rain My perm washed out it just got flushed down the drain My neurosis returned, I'm a wreck once again It's so ridiculous, but it's hilarious and yet somehow I feel his pain. He writes a whole song satirizing rock stars who get perms. Who does that?

Yeah! - Played this in a band back in 79 - no one knew what the hell this tune was... but it was cooler than shit, esp. since our bass player had permanent waves,,, lol

One of my favourite Kink songs - but such a unknown gem. Thanks for posting!
