"OVER POPULATION, INFLATION, STARVATION AND THE CRAZY POLITICIANS"
"I WANA SAIL AWAY TO A DISTANT SHORE, AND LIVE LIKE AN APE MAN"
This was one of those songs I wanted to hear Vic sing. In 1982, the movie Club Paradise with Robin Williams came out, and introduced me to this song. About the same time as I was listening to the kinks. Thankfully my friend Sean gave a cassette of the Kinks.
