Clichã©s Of The World (b Movie) Lyrics - Kinks

Sunset over the high-rise 

By a motorway 

A little man looks up at the sky 

An uneventful end to a wasted day 

Close-up on the man at the window 

Looking at the street down below 

It's obvious he's got things on his mind 

He shakes his head, pulls down the blind 

He starts writing a letter 

To make it perfectly clear 

He's just a man who's reached the end of his rope 

Expressing his doubts and his fears 

In a world, feels so lonely and afraid 

Disillusioned by the promises they made 

It's a pity that it ended up this way 

Life is just a cliché

I'm gonna do tomorrow 

What I did yesterday 

It's such a dull routine 

Somebody cut this scene 

It's such a boring cliché 

Live life, day to day 

Seems so passé 

Everything you hear and say 

Just another cliché 

Like an actor on a movie screen 

Living out someone else's dream 

Living out a total misconception 

Reality, a false perception 

It's such a wasted life 

Without any conclusion 

Photos 

Days drift into days 

His life just slips away 

People so blasé 

Everything's a cliché 

Yes it is 

Yes it is 

Just an illusion 

Just an illusion 

Moonlight over the high-rise 

At the end of the day 

The little man is asleep in his bed 

Tucked up, safely away 

In his dreams he's taken away by alien beings to another 

Galaxy, deep in space to a planet where a man can live 

Out his fantasies, and experience unimaginable pleasures 

But morning comes and soon the realities of life will 

Shatter his illusions, and the clichés of the world will 

Bring him down. but still he's waiting for a change 

Days drift into days 

His life just slips away 

Everything is passé 

Everything's a cliché 

Yes it is 

Yes it is 

Just an illusion 

Just an illusion 

Yes it is 

Yes it is 

See the sunlight over the motorway 

The little man, with anger in his eyes 

Stands by the window, looks at the sky
