Percy [original Soundtrack]

I met her in a club down in old soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola [lp version:
Coca-cola]
C-o-l-a 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 lo-lo-lo-lo 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 lo-lo-lo-lo 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 lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo 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
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo 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
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo 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
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Come on love
Let's forget about all the things that we've done wrong
Just remember all of the things that we've done right
I'm in no mood to argue and i'm in no mood to fight
So let the tears pass you by
Don't you cry, don't you cry, don't you cry
And i ain't gonna let this big world get me down
I gotta learn to keep a hold of my head and keep my feet on the ground
Moments of ecstatic happiness
And the moments of stress that we had better forget
But love, i gotta feeling that i've said it all before
I said it before
I say i'll never do you wrong but then i go and do the same again
I don't know why, don't know why
Don't know why, don't know why, don't know why
We gotta learn to share these moments in our lives
And never let it get us down, we gotta put up a fight
Moments to remember all our lives
From the first brief hello to the last good-bye

I say i'll never do you wrong but then i go and do the same again
I don't know why, don't know why
Don't know why, don't know why, don't know why
We gotta learn to share these moments in our lives
And never let it get us down, we gotta put up a fight
Moments to remember all our lives
From the first brief hello to the last good-bye

Well i tried to settle down fulham broadway
And i tried to make my home in golders green
But i gotta get that train
And go back home again
Oh how i miss the folks back home in willesden green

You know, i tried, i really tried to settle in this big city
And i always thought i could make it all on my very own
But there's one thing that keeps calling me
To that little, that little semi-detached
That's the folks, yeah, the folks back home
In willesden green

You're just an animal in the zoo
Sittin' round feeling persecuted and abused
You're locked up and i'm on the loose
But i can't quite tell who's looking at who
'cause i'm an animal, too
But you're locked up in a zoo
And you look at me and i look at you

God made the heaven and the deep blue sea
But man picked the flowers and he pulled up the trees
God mad the moon and the rain and the sun
But man made the money and the bombs and the guns
So we're all animals, too
But you're locked up in a zoo
And you look at me and i look at you

I'm a prisoner but i got no cage
I'm locked up but i got no chain
But the good guys lose and the bad guys win
That's why you're looking out and i'm looking in
But we're all animals, too
But you're locked up in a zoo
'cause you look at me and i look at you
