Now I'm a union man
Amazed at what I am
I say what I think, that the company stinks
Yes I'm a union man
When we meet in the local hall
I'll be voting with them all
With a hell of a shout, it's "Out brothers, out!"
And the rise of the factory's fall
Oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union
You don't get me, I'm part of the union
You don't get me, I'm part of the union
Til the day I die
Til the day I die
Us union men are wise
To the lies of the company spies
And I don't get fooled by the factory rules
'Cause I always read between the lines
And I always get my way
If I strike for higher pay
When I show my card to the Scotland Yard
And this is what I say:
Oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union
You don't get me, I'm part of the union
You don't get me, I'm part of the union
Til the day I die
Til the day I die
Before the union did appear
My life was half as clear
Now I've got the power to the working hour
And every other day of the year
So though I'm a working man
I can ruin the government's plan
And though I'm not hard, the sight of my card
Makes me some kind of superman
Oh, oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union
You don't get me, I'm part of the union
You don't get me, I'm part of the union
Til the day I die
Til the day I die
You don't get me, I'm part of the union
You don't get me, I'm part of the union
You don't get me, I'm part of the union
Til the day I die
Til the day I die

She’s got a smile that it seems to me, reminds me of childhood memories
silver horses, run down moonbeams, in her dark eyes
She told me come but I was already there
I’ve seen a million faces, and I’ve rocked them all
But I gotta get out, I gotta break out now, before the final crack of dawn
She was more like a beauty queen, from a movie scene
Rebel souls, deserters we are called
Like a fool, I fell in love with you, turned my whole world upside down
And as we wind in down the road, our shadows taller than our soul
is this the real life, is this just fantasy
we're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl

On the National Express there's a jolly hostess
Selling crisps and tea
She'll provide you with drinks and theatrical winks
For a sky-high fee
Mini-skirts were in style when she danced down the aisle
Back in '63 (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But it's hard to get by when your arse is the size
Of a small country

Wouldn't it be nice, to get on with me neighbours

I may not always love you,so long as there are skies above you. You never need to doubt it ...
I see seas of green, red roses too
What becomes of all the little boys, who never comb their hair.

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's Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Is Lola glad that 'she' (Lola) is a man or is Lola glad that the singer (Ray Davies) is a man? Or both?

“I was 21 years when I wrote this song,
I’m 22 now but I won’t be for long”
If he wrote it at 21, why does it say he’s 22?

He's saying he wrote the song when he was at least a year younger - he's singing it right now while fast approaching his next birthday.
Well, that's how I read it.

Can't see the confusion unless you're thinking he's taken 21 years to write the song?

"I wrote the song two hours before we met
I didn't know your name or what you looked like yet"
Nice... but confusing

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowing on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang
The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang
Alone here in the kitchen
I feel there's something missing
I'd beg for some forgiveness
But begging's not my business
And she won't write a letter
Although I always tell her
And so it's my assumption...Last edited by Killiehibbie; 04-05-2018 at 01:32 PM.

Just what is it that you want to do?
Well, we wanna be free, we wanna be free to do what we wanna do
And we wanna get loaded and we wanna have a good time
And that's what we're gonna do (away baby, let's go)
We're gonna have a good time, we're gonna have a party

He is either 21 and has said he is 22 or he is 22 and said he is 21.
Anyway, probably not worth all this discussion and thanks for the info about S&G - I didn’t know that, just love New England as a song.
