Picture Book by the Kinks

From the Kinks' great album The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society, which provides an earnest-and-critical look into bygone genteel English society (an era that arguably never existed in the first place).

"Picture book/Of people with each other/To prove they love each other/A long time ago."

With this indicting lyric, laid over lighthearted "Scooby-doobie-doo" refrains, Picture Book exemplifies the tone of the whole record.
