David Russell Gordon "Dave" Davies (born 3 February 1947) is an English singer, songwriter and guitarist. He is best known as the lead guitarist and occasional lead vocalist for the English rock band The Kinks, which also featured his brother Ray Davies.
In 2003, Davies was ranked 91st in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".
Davies was born at 6 Denmark Terrace, Muswell Hill, North London. He was born the last of eight children, including six older sisters and an older brother, later bandmate Ray. As children, the Davies brothers were immersed in a world of different musical styles, from the music hall of their parents' generation, to the jazz and early rock n' roll that their older sisters listened to. The siblings developed a rivalry early on, with both brothers competing for their parents' and sisters' attention.
Davies grew up playing skiffle, but soon bought an electric guitar and started experimenting with rock. The Davies brothers and friend Pete Quaife jammed together in the front room of their house. Activities in the Davies household centred around this front room, culminating in large parties, where Davies' parents would sing and play piano together. The front room and these parties were musically nurturing to the Davies brothers, later influencing the Kinks' interpretations of the traditional British music hall style. Dave and his brother worked out the famous two-chord riff of their 1964 hit, "You Really Got Me", on the piano in the front room.

The song features a series of car horns during the instrumental bridge, starting with a Volkswagen Beetle horn, and ends up with a jackhammer sound, in order to give the impression of the sounds of the summer in the city.

Standing here in the cold, cold rain
Waiting on for hours
But my love for you still remains
I see you as more than a friend
I know I still got a lot to learn
But I'm glad I found you
In your eyes there is something real
I see you as more than a man
For history was born in Egypt
Suffered by man's vanity
The mysteries, the rock of ages
Made a fool out of you and me
No more mystery, no more fear or sorrow
All their lies won't satisfy me
No more mysteries, no more fear or sorrow
Only love gonna set us free
Many times you've come and gone
To lend us a helping hand
Every light[?] upon your face
Reminds me you're more than a man
Give me strength to carry on
From a path that lingers dark
Break the sword and give us light
The future is out of command
For history was born in Egypt
Suffered by man's power and greed
The mysteries, the rock of ages
Made a fool out of you and me
No more mystery, no more fear and sorrow
All the lies won't satisfy me
No more mystery, no more fear or sorrow
Only love gonna set us free
Is this all we ever wanted?
A planet of fear
Is this all we got to live for?
Look on a clear night
Far to the north star
Open your heart
Mystery, no more sorrow
All their lies won't satisfy me
No more mystery, the rock of ages
Made a fool out of you and me
No more mystery, no more fear and sorrow
All the lies won't satisfy me
No more mystery, the rock of ages
Made a fool out of you and me
No more mysteries
No more mysteries
No more mysteries
