I KNOW WHERE RAY DAVIES LIVES
intro - B7 / /
E B7
I know where Ray Davies lives
A B7 E
He lives 'round the corner from me, up in Highgate
A B7 E
He's sort of my mate
B7 A B7 E
He comes into the coffee shop, walks up and orders cappuccino
A B7 E
He's a local hero
B7 E
Once in the Duke's Head on a lazy Sunday afternoon
B7 E
I was settling in to watch the football like I often like to
A
The front door opened and in walked Ray
E
He looked around and he looked my way
B7
He said, 'Is anybody sitting there?'
A B7
I swallowed hard, pulled out the chair
E
And Ray sat down
B7
Well I pretended that I was not acutely aware that the mighty Ray Davies was sitting there
A true pioneer of rock and quintessential English pop who stands besides the greats in the
E
Rock and roll hall of fame!
B7 E
I thought that he'd appreciate it if we concentrated on the game
A B7 A B7
So we talked about the referee, the substitute, the penalty
E
It was brilliant!
E B7
I know where Ray Davies lives
A B7 E
N6 6HB that's his postcode
A B7 E
It's right by my road
E B7
I know where Ray's castle is
A B7 E
But I won't disclose house number or the name of the street
A B7 E
That would be indiscreet
B7 E
Once outside his house on a frosty Monday evening
B7 E
I was looking up, a light was on, someone was clearly in
A
The front door opened and out walked Ray
E
He looked around and then he looked my way,
B7
He said, 'What are you doing here?'
A B7 E
I swallowed hard, thought, 'Oh dear, what can I say?'
B7
I pretended that I was not acutely aware that I'd been spending lots of time
E
Hanging out 'round there and feigned casual familiarity
B7
I said, 'Didn't we meet around at the Duke's Head?'
E
Ray sort of frowned and then he said he remembered me
A B7 A B7
'Yeah, we talked about the referee, the substitute, the penalty
E
It was brilliant!'
Brilliant .
Very good
I wonder if Ray saw this...
This is absolutely adorable! You have DEFINITELY got a Ray Davies influence!
I met him when I was 18 (1985)...he was the most amazing gentleman. He escorted me into an after-party; I was slightly toasted & tired. He made sure I was okay. I will never forget his kindness and the incredible show that night.
I bet Ray would love this I hope he’s seen it
yes, he heard me sing it live in Highgate a few years back, he was laughing, although he looked a bit concerned when I sang the post code bit
Lol. Too funny.
Excellent. Just the kind of lyrics Ray writes himself. Light-hearted vaudevillean style like "Have a Cuppa Tea" complete with self-mocking story and obviously reverential admiration. Totally British blend of humour and respect. A perfect tribute. Well done.
Fantastico
Lovely tribute!!!! I have sat in The Archway Tavern in days gone by playing pool and discussing the Arsenal with the same man!!!!! Well privileged!!!
thank you Johnny - live the dream!
Fun clip brings the song to life. ( great acting skills.😄 )
Thank you Annie, we had a laugh making it. Strangely, Ray was filming a TV interview in the next street as we made it, he drove past at one point and looked over, don't suppose he realised we were making a video about him though.
@@MarkNevinMusic Amazing coincidence. You should have asked him to be a stand in ...for himself!
Love it!!
I LOVE this!!!!
thank you Kate
THAT was brilliant! Love it, fun
thank you Stephanie
brilliant! Song about RD in the style and the manner of the kinks.
Ray Davies - what a talent, but let's not get distracted from what a creative genius Mark Nevin is!
I think Ray would appreciate this. It kinda reminds of Sitting in the Midday Sun actually!
Genial!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Excellent song, great lyrics- and the whole album is fantastic. I'm going to totally spook you by writing "I Know Where Mark Nevin Lives"!
Really enjoyed this...lovely tribute to the great man!
Saw Mark perform this at the 'Songs In The Key Of London' gig at Greenwich last night. Brilliant.
As a life long Kinks fan aswell...i just love this....brilliant!!!
Great! Heard this on BBC Radio 2 in the wee small hours on the Alex Lester Show this morning.
love this song! well done Mark!
Great stuff Mark
I really enjoyed and related to your song.
i love the faux (muswell) hillbilly sound .. nice words
Great job. It makes a change to hear original songs on youtube.There are too many covers which do not add anything new to a song. This is great .Well done and good luck with the album.
bless you Peter - I have a new EP called DOLLY SAID NO TO ELVIS coming out on February 2nd - we have nearly completed a great video which I will post in a couple of weeks smarturl.it/MarkNevinDSNTE
Great
This is really a nice, sweet song. Well done!
I love it!
Wow, this is fantastic.
Muy bueno!!!
Fab.
Hi Mark
Guess you and Ray enjoying Arsenals lofty Premier League position
Like the good old days.
This is good but I find it personal as I live i
Yes, but Ray Davies could not have written Halloween!
Thank you for the days regardless
THOUGHT LIKE RAY LIKED TEA NOT COFFEE!
