Big Sky - The Kinks
Big Sky looks down on all the people looking up at the Big Sky.
Everybody pushing one another around
Big Sky feels sad when he sees the children scream and cry
But the Big Sky is too big to let it get him down.

Big Sky too big to cry
Big Sky too high to see
People like you and me

One day we'll be free, we won't care, just you see
'Til that day can be, don't let it get you down
When I feel that the world is too much for me
I think of the Big Sky, and nothing matters much to me.

Big Sky looks down on all the people who think they got problems
They get depressed and they hold their head in their hands and cry.
People lift up their hands and they look up to the Big Sky
But the Big Sky is too big to sympathize

Big Sky's too occupied
Though he would like to try
And he feels bad inside
Big Sky's too big to cry

One day we'll be free, we won't care, just you wait and see
'Til that day can be, don't let it get you down.

1. I listened to this album incessantly when I was in London a few weeks ago.
The Kinks are the most English of all of the British Invasion bands, IMO.

2. This song always makes me think of a dumb band that covered it in the 90s that I pretended to like
in order to impress the long-haired guy at the indie record store...he recommended the band and I bought the tape. This was the only song on the album I liked.

Anybody feeling the love for Flop and the Fall of the Mopsqueezer?
