Did You See His Name? Lyrics - Kinks

Did you see his name in the local paper? 

Stole a tin of beans 

From a cut-priced grocery store 

The judge said he must pay 

So he put him on probation 

And the paper gave his name 

Did you see his name in the criminal section? 

And the center page 

Gave his name and his address 

They stopped him doing it again 

So they put him to dishonour 

And put the man to shame

He lost his little job 

His employer was absolved of blame 

His world just crumbled down 

And incidentally, did you see his name in the obituary column? 

Letters edged in black 

Life was much too hard to live 

So he brought it to an end 

In his gas-filled maisonette 

Because he couldn't stand the strain 

Photos 

La-la-la la-la la-la-la la-la-la 

La-la-la la-la 

Life was much too hard to live 

So he brought it to an end 

In his gas-filled maisonette 

Because he couldn't stand the strain 

Did you see his name? 

Did you see his name? 

Did you see his name?
