This Is Where I BelongThe Kinks

"This Is Where I Belong" — from Kink Kontroversy (1965). Place and belonging.

I can't think of a place I'd rather be.
The whole wide world doesn't mean so much to me,
For this is where I belong,
This is where I belong.
Tell me now if you want me to stay.
It don't matter, 'cause I'd stay here anyway.
For this is where I belong,
This is where I belong.
Well, I ain't gonna wander,
Like the boy I used to know.
He's a real unluckly fella,
And he's got no place to go.
I won't search for a house upon a hill.
Why should I when I'd only miss you still,
For this is where I belong,
This is where I belong.
This is where I belong.

  • From The Kink Kontroversy (1965). The belonging statement — this place, this person, this is where I fit — is an early Ray Davies assertion of location as identity.
