Notes

Lola is a rock and roll coming of age anthem. What a great story that every young man has gone through.

Well I left home just a week before, and I never ever kissed a woman before ...

Well I'm not the world's most masculine man but I know what I am and I am a man and so is Lola ..
Lola showed him the way. But huh? Lola is a man too??? The song leaves you with all kinds of ambiguities.

Ray Davies used to toy with the crowd when the Kinks played the first few bars of Lola in concert. Oh no, we're not going to do that one tonight. Oh ok, if you say so -
