I THINK ROCK music is just as important as painting.

A Little Bit Of Abuse - The Kinks
A Little Bit Of Abuse - The Kinks
One on the nose, one on the chin,
You bruise so easy, so why stay with him?
He uses you just like a human punching bag.
But you don’t complain, you’re too scared to speak.
Anyway, it only really hurts you when you laugh,
And when you eat.
But you can’t break the pattern, week after week.
The bruises show,
But he must be special otherwise you’d just get up and go.
You’ll never let us know
Exactly how you feel.
What’s the use, the cynics say it’s no excuse,
You keep running back just to get a little bit of abuse.
You say it’s okay,
But I say that it’s not right.
You wind him up, but you’re living in fear,
You keep going back but it ends in tears, oh.
That’s quite a cut on the side of your head.
Is it from his fist, or did you really fall out of bed?
Oh, so uncouth,
Excuse me, is this your tooth?
Why do you stay, no one knows.
Do you really love him, or are you too scared to go?
You’re always nervous and on the edge of tears.
You cry alone,
But you never tell us what it’s like when you get back home.
No one will ever know
Because you never show.
What’s the use,
Everyone says you’ve got no excuse,
You keep running back just to get a little bit of abuse.
You say it’s okay,
But I say that it’s not right.
Oh, it’s your secret, it’s your life, who am I to criticize?
It takes two sides to know it’s true,
And maybe, he’ll stay in love with you.
No one will ever know,
Because you never show.
What are we living for?” he asked on “Dead End Street”; “If life’s for livin’, what’s livin’ for

History
As far back as the British Invasion, Ray Davies wasn’t your typical rock ‘n’ roll star. Unlike his English counterparts who based their appeal on cockiness or terminal cuteness, Davies never seemed totally comfortable in the role. It was strange to hear his shy, insecure voice projecting anthems of unrequited love over what was the wildest, rawest music anyone had ever heard in 1964. “You Really Got Me” and the tunes that followed planted a seed that would eventually spawn heavy metal, as well as four-chord punk rock, making the Kinks a major influence on the popular music of our time.
Unfortunately, the Kinks were banned from America over a union dispute during the years 1965 through ‘69. As a result, America forgot the band, totally missing what might be called the Kinks “golden era,” when Ray Davies created some of the most beautiful rock songs ever put on vinyl. The British press and several enlightened American critics began applying the term “genius” to the Kinks with the release of albums like Face To Face, Something Else and The Village Green Preservation Society.
