I am the Imaginary Man...

The Imaginary Man in my head is maybe not so imaginary after all. Ray Davies and The kinks music and career is like the checks and balances of a world gone wrong and a civilization that has gone out of control and that is in a tail spin.

" This world is big and wild and half insane Take me where real animals are playing "

" We are the Village Green Preservation SocietyGod save Donald Duck, Vaudeville and VarietyWe are the Desperate Dan Appreciation SocietyGod save strawberry jam and all the different varietiesPreserving the old ways from being abusedProtecting the new ways for me and for youWhat more can we doWe are the Draught Beer Preservation SocietyGod save Mrs. Mopp and good Old Mother RileyWe are the Custard Pie Appreciation ConsortiumGod save the George Cross and all those who were awarded themWe are the Sherlock Holmes English Speaking VernacularHelp save Fu Manchu, Moriarty and DraculaWe are the Office Block Persecution AffinityGod save little shops, china cups and virginityWe are the Skyscraper Condemnation AffiliateGod save tudor houses, antique tables and billiardsPreserving the old ways from being abusedProtecting the new ways for me and for youWhat more can we doGod save the Village Green."
