Things Are Gonna Change (The Morning After) - Ray Davies

Things are gonna change

This is the morning after

When reality bites

The morality kicks in

To those damaged limitations

This is the morning after

All that went before

All of the song and laughter

The morning after, gets up from the floor

To do it all again

But things are gonna change

This is the morning after

My turn to get pushed in the face

Feeling right down, resurrecting the clown

Yeah I bloody well will

You look around for which way to go

But where you gonna turn?

And when the morning after

Pleads to take no more

We patch up the last disaster

Slower, faster, crawl out through the door

And do it all again

But things have gotta change

This is the morning after

You feel shite, the air bites

Oh will I ever learn?

Your ear’s deaf, your girl’s left

Never to return

But it’s the morning after

All that went before

And now you paid your debt

Get up you wreck, and crawl out through the door

Oh, love will return

This is the morning after

You will learn

The barrier we cross

Is somewhere between Heaven and Hell

Ah, but the world will never change

So we must dig inside, and crawl outside ourselves

I will, I bloody well will

Things are gonna change

Things are gonna change

This is the morning after

I will, I bloody well will

Things are gonna change
