Twas there I met a girl called daisy.
And kissed her by the old oak tree.
Although I loved my daisy, I saw fame.
And so I left the village green.

I miss the village green.
And all the simple people.
I miss the village green.
The church, the clock, the steeple.
I miss the morning dew, fresh air and Sunday school.

Village Green
The Kinks (1968), The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society

You go home but you can’t stay.
Because something’s always pulling you away.
Your fast hellos and quick goodbyes.
You’re just a street boy.
With the streetlights in your eyes.
You better get yourself together.
Look for something better.
Street boy.
You’ve been out too long.
Street boy.
Ain’t you got enough sense to go home.

Street Boy
Rodriquez (1973), Coming from Reality

Nightclubbing we’re nightclubbing.
We’re walking through town.
Nightclubbing we’re nightclubbing.
We walk like a ghost.
We learn dances brand new dances.
Like the nuclear bomb.
When we’re nightclubbing.
Bright white clubbing.
Oh isn’t it wild…

Nightclubbing
Iggy Pop (1977), The Idiot

What a day for a daydream.
What a day for a daydreamin’ boy.
And I’m lost in a daydream.
Dreamin’ ‘bout my bundle of joy.
And even if time ain’t really on my side.
It’s one of those days for takin’ a walk outside.
I’m blowin’ the day to take a walk in the sun.
And fall on my face on somebody’s new mowed lawn.
