Walk along a pond past evidence of people lazing on a sunny afternoon.
The tax man's taken all my dough
And left me in this stately home
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
And I can't sail my yacht
He's taken everything I got
All I've got's this sunny afternoon
Lazing on a Sunny Afternoon was a hit song by The Kinks. While the casual listener might hear the catchy title and think it's a pleasant song, the lyrics reveal a protest song against Britain's rising taxes on the upper class.
