  • I won't take all that they hand me down,
    And make out a smile, though I wear a frown,
    And I'm not gonna take it all lying down,
    'Cause once I get started I go to town.
    'Cause I'm not like everybody else,
    Oh no...
    I'm not like everybody else,
    I'm not like everybody else, no..
    I'm not like everybody eeelse.
    And I don't want to live my life like everybody else,
    And I don't want to be destroyed like everybody else,
    And I don't wanna get a job, like everybody else,
    'Cause I'm not like everybody else,
    I'm not like everybody else.
    You see...
    Darling, you know that I love you true,
    And i'll do anything that you want me to,
    I'll even,
    Confess all my sins like you want me to,
    But there's one thing that I can't do for you,
    'Cause I'm not like everybody else,
    (What did i say ?...)
    I'm not like everybody else.
    (How did i say it ?...)
    I'm not like everybody else,
    (One more time..)
    I'm not like everybody else.
    Like everybody else..
    And I don't want to live my life like everybody else,
    And I won't wanna be destroyed like everybody else,
    And I don't wanna get a job, like everybody else,
    'Cause I'm not like everybody else,
    What did i say ?..
    I'm not like everybody else.
    Like everybody else.
    Everybody else,
    Everybody else,
    Like everybody else.
    Everybody...
    Everybody else...

      They have a vast catalog. Some albums are better than others but The Kinks have remained relevant more than any other band. I highly recommend their last album, as a group, "Down to the Bone". It is all live with either a studio audience or music venues. This sounds like the version from "Down to the Bone", which was also used on an episode of "The Sopranos". The Kinks were featured a few times on that series.

      +wouter038 That's the way I took it, too. He's always resisting help and in a constant battle with himself over every little thing and I think in a way at that moment he was jealous of Janice, or maybe he just didn't believe her. So he hit "below the belt" (which he's accused her of doing before) and brought her own child and her own hypocrisy to test just to prove if only to himself that anger management is bullshit. But it is absolutely self-serving on his own part. He has to believe that other people are just as bad as he is, otherwise his own crisis of conscience is actually winning the battle. He HAS to believe people cannot improve and that they are just the way they are.

When I first heard this on The Sopranos I thought it was a cover as too heavy and modern to be The Kinks but I was wrong and Ray Davies does a great job with the vocal.

First time I heard him able to play like this was the intro to Celluloid Heroes at the concert in Providence RI around 1979 or 1980.

    This song was used absolutely perfectly in The Sopranos, with all killing,extortion,etc. it was Soprano at his most malcontent evilest moment in the entire series,IMHO.

      This song was the reason that scene was as powerful as it was. I started reading your comment thinking it was my own lol. The Sopranos music /scene selection was epic. Will never be replicated. This, season 4 episode 1 opening scene and ending scene Timezones world descruction, gives me chills to this day, Annie lennox Little Bird, I could go and on...

      Tony beats up the bartender at the Bing for like the third time but goes so far he does permanent damage and the guy quits. Then he provokes Janice into a fit of rage by making fun of her lost son, ruining the progress she's made in anger management class.

    "I won't take all that they hand me down..." LOVE THAT LINE. What a masterpiece that song, so far ahead of its time. It is fine now to say we are neurodivergent or different, many of us now feel that kind of odd pride at being well, who we are, because everyone else is taken. Of not being overly conformist at least. But in 1966 it was visionary and brave. Kinks > Beatles if you ask me, criminally underrated.

      Dave singing and writing this isn't it ? Probably why it is structured with more guitar soloing and is longer than the recorded version, Dave was a bit more the guitar man wasn't he? Encapsulates perhaps the differences between the two of them.
