Ray and Dave Davies are both genius songwriters. No why wonder The Kinks had so many top 10 hits in the 1960s and the 1970s. Much better than music of today, music is not composed like this anymore.

The Kinks caused some controversy, because in the line "...the air pollution is a-foggin' up my eyes...", the word "a-foggin'" sounds too much like "a-fuckin'". Like the band's previous single "Lola" where Ray Davies had to change "Coca-cola" to "cherry cola", he again had to fly back to London to re-record this line, dubbing over with a more clear "a-foggin'" prior to its single release. The original lyric remains intact on the album, and is heard at 2:20. On their Top of the Pops performance filmed later in November, the changed lyric can be heard on the backing tape.[1] (from Wikipedia)

Ray will sometime deliberately articulate "a-fuckin" in live performance and it will get a rise out of the audience. He still performs quite regularly. I've never heard about the re-recording of "a-foggin"--it's probably just a rumor. OTOH, the need for Ray to fly back to Change the lyrics in Lola is a well known fact

According to the English Collins Dictionary, 'lyric' means having the manner of a song, whereas 'lyrics' means the words of a popular song. So in this case, I think 'lyrics' is the correct term to use. I'm English, therefore I used English grammar, however if you're American you may say different.

Fantastic song on a GREAT album, where fantastic is actually the third BEST song on this "circular and pyschodelic" endeavor. #3 is ahead of #4 Lola, itself very likely an all-time top 50 rock tune. For me, the lead in INTRODUCTION, coupled to the ending Got To Be Free is the perfect circular argument.
