PEOPLE TAKE PICTURES OF EACH OTHER- The Kinks
G
People take pictures of the summer
F
Just in case someone thought they had missed it
D
And to prove that it really existed
Fathers take pictures of the mothers
And sisters take pictures of brothers
Just to show that they love one another
CHORUS #1:
C Bb
You can't picture love that you took from me
C
When we were young and the world was free
Bb
Pictures of things as they used to be
Don't show me no more please
People take pictures of each other
Just to prove that they really existed
Just to prove that they really existed
People take pictures of each other
And one moment will last them forever
At the time when they mattered to someone
BRIDGE:
C C
Lie na nie na lie na nie na
D Bb G
Lie na nie na na nie nie nie na
C C
Lie na nie na lie na nie na
D Bb G
Lie na nie na na nie nie nie na
Bb G Bb G
Na na nie na na na nie na
People take pictures of the summer
Just in case someone thought they had missed it
Just to prove that it really existed
People take pictures of each other
And one moment will last them forever
At the time when they mattered to someone
CHORUS #2:
A picture of me when I was just three
Sat with my ma by the old oak tree
How I love things as they used to me
Don't show me no more please
La la la la la...

- From The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society (1968). One of the album's most meta observations — the impulse to photograph what's changing is as futile as the village green preservation itself.
