i have never read so much rubbish. firstly, there are a numbe rof mistakes in the lyrics not just the glad, that problem. secondly whoever suggested it was soho in new york, wot r u on, the kinks were banned from america for several reasons and so it is very unlikely they would sing about the country that stopped them from being bigger than the beatles (or even jesus lol), they were the original brit pop. the worst mistake of all though is all these theories tht lola was a woman etc. any real fan would know hat it is actually a true story, it happened to ray davies in soho in LONDON, he has said this in his autobiography and in various other places, lola was a transvesdite, and yes he did fall for her, to find out what happened after listen to destroyer by the kinks, htis is a revisit to lola and tells the nxt chapter of ray davies night. the suggestion that ray and dave davies were gay/bisexual is a misconception, thye did dabble and experiment, but that is what the times were like, they are both predominantly attracted to women.
@middo88 It was Ray's commentary on what he saw around Soho and it caused a storm of controversy in those days. Hee, hee he knew it would. I was 12 when it came out and I heard it although it was banned in New Zealand.
