Kinks, The - The Poseur Lyrics
The Poseur's in town
The Poseur's around
Hey, it don't bother me,
But there's a guy eyein' you
He got his eye on you
But don't act like you're surprised
Because that smooth-looking guy's undressing you with his eyes
Look at him look you over
He thinks he can win you over
He'll flirt for a while, make passes and smile at you
But he'll never come over
'Cause he's just a poseur
Who thinks he's a Cassonova
That dude standing over there
He thinks he really looks cool
The ladies think he looks smooth
But he's rehearsed every move
He stands in front of the mirror all day
Now he's on display and he's so well routined
We've all come here to dance but he's just here to be seen
Look at him bossa nova
Look at him move and sway
But he's been practicing days to make his hair fall a certain way
But he'll never come over
'Cause he's just a poseur
Who thinks he's a Casanova
Look at him bossa nova, yeah
The Poseur's in town
Yeah

Kinks, The The Poseur Comments
The riff and bridge reminds me of Superman, so this is why it stayed in the vaults for so long
Nice unreleased track from the era...Not as good as the tracks that were included on Sleepwalker.
very mid- seventies like, Saturday night fever, studio 54, and the disco image. Think SNL'S skit "two wild and crazy guys"
like American pop stars tryin to look "punk diy"
