[RevolutionaryActs]

1. L-O-L-A Lola... hehe

[Kikosexy2]

2. Yes, Lola..

and don't forget "Walk on the Wild Side" Lou Reed.

[7th_Sephiroth]

3. King for a day -Green Day

lol
Started at the age of 4
My mother went to the grocery store
Went sneaking through her bedroom door
To find something in a size 4

Sugar and spice and everything nice
Wasn’t made only for girls
Gi joe in panty hose
Is making room for the one and only

King for a day, princess by dawn
King for a day in a leather thong
King for a day, princess by dawn
Just wait ’til all the guys get a load of me

My daddy threw me in therapy
He thinks I’m not a real man
Who put the drag in the drag queen
Don’t knock it until you tried it

[jpgray]

4. Arnold Layne needs to be in this poll (nt)

[asthmaticeog]

5. Elaborate?

7. Pink Floyd '67 A side--great (controversial!) lyrics

Arnold Layne had a strange hobby
Collecting clothes
Moonshine washing line
They suit him fine

On the wall hung a tall mirror
Distorted view, see through baby blue
He dug it

Oh, Arnold Layne
It's not the same, takes two to know
Two to know, two to know
Why can't you see?

Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne

Now he's caught - a nasty sort of person.
They gave him time
Doors bang - chain gang - he hates it

Oh, Arnold Layne
It's not the same, takes two to know
Two to know, two to know
Why can't you see?

Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne
Don't do it again.

9. a friend of mine sang that in gigs for years

and I had no idea what it was about.

Still I think Lola is the best one.

[johnnie]

6. I second that

It was the first one I thought of when I saw the subject.

[Magrittes Pipe]

8. Candy says:

I've come to hate my body
And all that it requires in this world
Candy says:
I'd like to know completely
What other sould discretely talk about

I'm gonna watch the bluebirds fly
Over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me

Candy says:
I hate the quiet places
That cause the smallest taste of what will be
Candy says:
I hate the big descisions
that cause endless revisions in my mind

I'm gonna watch the bluebirds fly
Over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me

[Aristus]

10. Um. Lady Stardust? Can you add that to your poll?

A beautiful, torchy ballad by David Bowie about a cross-dresser.

It deserves to be up there.

[DBoon]

12. "Queen Bitch" as well

from Hunky Dory

[Cornjob]

11. Lou Reed - Take a Walk on the Wild Side....
