Lush - Olympia lyrics

rate me

(Anderson)

Will I ever be Olympia?

Will I ever be a girl like her?

Will I ever have to say the word

And instantly I'll be adored?

Could I ever deign to have the look

Instead of have to read a book?

Will I ever be Olympia?

Will I ever be a girl like her?

And if ever there's a will

There's a place in Notting Hill

You can go and visit still

And if ever there's a way

To find a hopeful ray

Will I find it all today?

Will I ever be Olympia?

Could I ever have a cat like her?

Could I ever lie around all day eating chocolate and marmalade?

Now it's time to find the perfect world

Dress myself up like the perfect girl

Could I ever be Olympia?

Could I ever be in love like her?

In chaos of our lives

Can we ever find the time

To cherish feeling fine

And in the aftermath of pain

Can the balance be regained?

Can we ever be the same?

And now, time to switch off

Sit down, turn the lights off

Lie back, treat this sofa like your own

Look out, here comes trouble

Look out, we're in a muddle

Keep running 'til you find you've reached your home

Could I ever be Olympia?

In the chaos of our lives

Can we ever find the time

To cherish feeling fine

And in the aftermath of pain

Can the balance be regained?

Can we ever be the same?

And now, time to switch off.
