Flash's Confession - The Kinks

I’ve just had a dream that I never will forget

And I wish I could erase

I was standing on the street with a whole crowd of people

And no one knew my name

And I was just another face

No one looked at me or touched me

Spoke to or acknowledged me

I had no identity or individuality

No thoughts of my own, no mind or personality

I was just a no one, a total nonentity

I’m just a number waiting to be called

It is time for confessing it all

I’m just another face

Yes, it’s time for confessing it all

Been a cheat, been a crook

Never gave I always took

Crushed people to acquire

Anything that I desired

Been deceitful and a liar

Now I’m facing Hell Fire

I can’t believe that my time has come

For confessing all the evil

And the wrong that I’ve done

The reckoning’s come

And now I’m just a no one

I confess to the timid and the meek

To the cripples and the beggars

And the tramps in the street

I confess my cruelty, my ego and conceit

I’ve opened up my body and looked inside

And I’m everything that I once despised

I confess for the thieves

The affected and deranged

I confess for the muggers and incurably insane

I confess to the ugly for being so vain

I confess to those I hurt for causing them pain

I’m just a number

Waiting to be called

And it’s time for confessing it all

And I’m just another face

And it is time for confessing It all

Yes, it’s time for confessing it all

Yes, it’s time for confessing it all
