Kinks - Lola 1973

Kinks - Lola 1973 live
Released 1970

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes like
a cherry-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 L.o.l.a. 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 knees
said good 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
well I looked at her and she at me.

That's the way, that I want it to stay
And I always wanted 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, mouled 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's mine and took me by the hand
Said good boy gonna make you a man !"

Well, I'm not the world's most mascular man,
But I know what I am I'm glad I'm a man and so is Lola
la-la la-la Lola,
La-la la-la Lola
la-la la-la Lola

Lola, la-la la-la Lo-la, la-la la-la Lo-la,
Lola, la-la la-la Lo-la.

[jdrw5]

I love this version! Thanks for posting. Anyone know where this footage is from?

[ccmac54]

@jdrw5 the beat club in1972 is where this is

[slippo99]

Great version - a cool open, and the perfect cold close. Hadn't seen this one before.

[lucas07700]

@failman9 he's singing in 1973, but the song was released in 1970.

[failman9]

great song great performance. but how was it live in 1973, but released in 1970?

Już nikt nie podniesie tak poziomu muzyki jak Dave Davies Jimi hendrix Robert Plant Alex Chilton czy Ian Gillan muzyka 60 70 lat upadła pewnie ten komentarz polski mało kto przeczyta ale mam nadzieje że muzyka ta zostanie w sercach nielicznych.Gorąco pozdrawiam i niech serwis YouTube pozostawi ślady po klasyce.Bo "Death Of A Clown" niestety już nie ma :(
