Lola / The Kinks

 

 

Lola      - The Kinks -

 

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry cola
See oh el aye cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
El oh el aye Lola la la la la Lola

Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola la la la la Lola
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my Lola la la la la Lola la la la la Lola

Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy won't you come home with me
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola
La la la la Lola la la la la Lola
Lola la la la la Lola la la la la Lola

I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me
Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
La la la la Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
La la la la Lola

Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man
Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola
La la la la Lola la la la la Lola
Lola la la la la Lola la la la la Lola

킹크스는 보다 영국적인 락앤롤 음악을 했지요. 처음엔 그래서 킹크스의 음악이 약간 거북하게 들릴수도 있습니다. 우리에게 익숙치 않은 사운드라서요. 그런데 시간이 지나면서 계속 듣다보면 킹크스의 그 영국적인 아름다움을 가진 락앤롤에 흠뻑빠지게 됩니다
