Maximum Consumption — текст песни (Kinks)

Ill have some clam chowder, followed by beef steak on rye

Pumpkin pie, whipped cream and coffee,

I wanna green salad on the side,

Dont forget the french fries,

Pizza pie, garlic and anchovie.

I keep burning up calories as fast as I keep putting them down,

Eat food, put it in my mouth,

Chew it up, swallow it down,

Ill have two eggs, over light, home made apple pie

Cole slaw as a side order.

I gotta stay fit, stay alive, eat food to sustain a non-stop high-grade performer.

The pace is continual, sure keeps running me down

Dont you know that you gotta eat food,

Dont you know that you gotta refuel.

Im a maximum consumption, super-grade performer.

High powered machine,

Go steady on my clutch, go easy on the hills

And youll get a lot of mileage out of me.

Im so easy to drive, and Im an excellent ride,

Excessive living sure keeps running me down

Youve got to learn to use the maximum juice

Thats how you get the maximum use.

Life keeps using me, keeps on abusing me, mentally and physically.

I gotta stay fit, stay alive, need fuel inside, eat food to survive

Maximum consumption sure keeps running me down

Dont you know that you gotta eat food

Dont you know that its good for you.

Im a maximum consumption,

Non-stop machine

Total automation perpetual motion.
