Low Budget is the seventeenth studio album by the English rock group, The Kinks, released in 1979. Following the minor success of their 1978 album Misfits, the band recorded the majority of the album in New York rather than London. Unlike the more nostalgic themes of many Kinks albums prior to Low Budget, the album contains many songs that appeal to current events of the time.
A Gallon of Gas", like many songs by The Kinks from this period, tells of economic problems of the time, in this case the gas shortage. Author Nick Hasted describes it as "a heavy electric blues. The song was the second single released from "Low Budget", and is one of two singles from the album to be released in America but not in Britain (the other being "Catch Me Now I'm Falling")
gas can't be purchased anywhere For any amount of cash. two extra verses from long version: I love your body-work, but you're really no use How can I drive you when I got no juice? Because it's stuck in neutral and my engine's got no speed And the highways are deserted and the air smells unnaturally clean. The Kinks - Low Budget (Remastered) Album Lyrics. 1. (Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman. 4. Catch Me Now I'm Falling.
gas can't be purchased anywhere For any amount of cash. It's got power-assisted overdrive and carpets on the floor, But it's parked out front just like a dead dinosaur. And I'll be paying off the bank for 45 years or more. It should go 100 miles an hour, But it's never moved away from my door
A Gallon of Gas" is the ninth track from The Kinks' album, Low Budget. It was written by Ray Davies. Contents "A Gallon of Gas" also appears on the greatest hits albums Come Dancing with The Kinks and the live album To the Bone.
Nevertheless, that gives the album a certain charm, since it now plays like a time capsule, a snapshot of what hard rock sounded like at the close of the '70s . A Gallon of Gas. Ray Davies.
