The Video Shop Lyrics - Kinks

The local factory's been pulled down 

By an overseas corporation 

Now all of my brothers are looking around 

For alternative occupation 

I was sitting by the telly with my brother, Kenny 

When suddenly the penny dropped 

While all of my brothers are sitting at home 

I've got a bank loan and I've opened up my very own 

Video shop 

Video shop 

At the video shop 

I can fly, fly you away

Songs You Love If You Love Nerds 

NEW SONG: Taylor Swift - 'You Need To Calm Down' - LYRICS 

NEW SONG: ASHLEY O (Miley Cyrus) - On A Roll​ - LYRICS 

Comedy and tragedy are all sitting on my shelf 

And if you've got a fantasy 

For a small rental fee 

You can set yourself free 

At my video shop 

At my video shop 

At the video shop 

I can fly, fly you away 

At the video shop 

Let me fly, fly you away 

From all of the depression in you head 

Caused by all the living in the red 

I've got a bootleg version of Citizen Kane 

A second hand copy of Psycho 

I've taped them off the telly so you shouldn't complain 

And there's no guarantee you'll get your money back again 

From my video shop 

My video shop 

Photos 

If you want to escape, I can rent you a tape 

To relieve your situation 

If you feel a bit low, I got a good peep show 

'Cos everybody knows almost anything goes 

At my video shop 

At my video shop 

One fifty a day and I'll fly, fly you away 

It's nothing to pay to fly far, far away 

I can help you through that lonely night 

I've got Technicolour, black and white 

I can guide you through those empty days 

Make you smile and take your blues away 

O let me fly you away 

At my video shop 

Fly, fly you away 

Another factory's been knocked down 

But nobody ever complains 

And all of my brothers are customers now 

We all play video games 

I can see it in the eyes of all the lonely wives 

If they're bored and they feel like a change 

I do sales, rentals, even a swop 

And if you feel like a change, well it can all be arranged 

At my video shop 

At my video shop 

At my video shop 

At my video shop 

Let me fly, fly you away 

And everyone who walks in through that door 

Has got something that they're looking for 

At my video shop 

At my video shop 

At the video shop 

I can fly, fly you away 

At the video shop 

Let me fly, fly you away 

Oh, at the video shop 

Oh, at the video shop 

Oh, at the video shop
