Imaginary Man - Ray Davies

Is this really it?

Is this the final station

It’s really been quite a trip

You know it’s been great to watch the sights

Playing the edited highlights

And all the outtakes you did not see

Were only my unreality

I am, I am imaginary

I am, I am imaginary

I’m the imaginary man

Imaginary man, yes I am

Imaginary, imaginary

I was always in your head

To raise your expectations

And always let it be said

I offered my very best to you

Gave you my dreams to aspire to

Involved you in all my crazy schemes

And took you to places you’d never seen

Walked down to Preservation Hall

Looking for the old trad band

It was just a momentary glance

I saw my reflection in the glass

Watched as the world went flashing past

I knew the face but could not tell

Why I couldn’t recognise myself

I am, I am imaginary

I am, I am imaginary

I’m the imaginary man

Imaginary man, yes I am

Imaginary, imaginary

I’m the imaginary man, imaginary man

Imaginary man, yes I am

Imaginary, imaginary

Imaginary man, imaginary man
