"Poetry" is the 1st ear listening sighting of his new coming album, "Americana". The first new Ray Davies album in nearly a decade. Where he was once so fascinated by the Kentucky black hills, this song looks at America's staggering obsession with materialism. Lyrics ringing out like:
"I kneel down and say grace for the comforts the world bestows on me / And the great corporations providing our every need / And those big neon signs telling us what to eat / And every shop window goods are designed to please / Oh but I ask / Where is the poetry?"
The album goes deep with getting inspiration from Americana the memoir. It included written passages on The Kinks ban from America in the 1960's and Mr. Ray Davies residing in the U.S.A. as he got older. The album also goes on incorporating a number of spoken-word routes from Ray Davies autobiography,
