Lush - Olympia Lyrics
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
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 today?
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 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
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?

It may be just retro-reading but if you look at the photos, Chris' sadness is always apparent - even when looking serious, the other's have a glimmer in their eyes, but not poor Chris - that sadness looks deep, authentic, insoluble...
This amazing band made school for next generation bands up to today! Don't be surprised to see surprised youngsters talking about some novelty sounds that we know we should treat like our own...Olympia!
Thanks L U S H ❤
Sounds like a requiem for the whole late 80s / 90s Shoegazing and Britpop eras.
RMS MUSIC SOCIETY TOP 100 SONGS OF ALL-TIME
wow, gorgeus melody. I listen this song in 2017.
so much good stuff from them
For some reason, this beautiful song is making me cry. WTF?!
Fun song to play on guitar.
And for singing as well. Try it, and you will already float.
I hear some VU with Nico in there
Amazing group. I'm really looking forward to the reunion EP in a couple months!!!!
THAT VOICE(voices) THAT MELODY i get chills everytime i hear it ........
The song is actually about a horse......
hermosa!
i used to go to school in olympia
Great song, Emma & Miki have very heavenly voices...
so emotion
Emma so reminds me of a few hot teachers and one hot librarian when I was growing up in school. Only then, I was too stooped to realize how hot those teachers were....I did go to prom with my 26 year old chemistry teacher though. I was a weird kid to say the least. Damn, Miss Suris was hot!
@MPetrozzaIsGod I don't get it. Did you have bad posture, or did you mean stupid? I'm hoping for bad posture.
Yes, what is "stooped"?
But if you do mean stupid, I can't relate. I presumed that, like me, everyone was distracted by any hint of sex about their teachers. For me, aged 4, Miss Geraldine's boobs frazzled my brain.
tremendo!!!!!
wow!!!!
Love this song.
Sweet crap, a Lush song where I can actually understand the lyrics! Why do I find that profoundly disturbing?! Lovely melody, though; very enjoyable, though a departure for them.
I miss Lush so much!! I listened to them all the time in my late teens/early 20s...
"And now time to switch off". Last line, last song, last album. Bittersweet ending for a great band.
i cant make out wat it is..! ; (
Me three...Emma is HOT! :o)
RMS MUSIC SOCIETY TOP 100 SONGS OF ALL TIME!!!!
one of there best songs is de luxe hands down
Thanks for posting. Never got into Lush that much, but knew who they were. Now I'll seek out more of their stuff.
I , and am sure im not the only one . Could sure go for a new awesome , brilliant Bereni / Anderson album . How about it friends ? Im sure the folks at 4AD could also agree on the absolute wonder of that .......
I hope Emma , Miki , and Phil K are doing great. Greetings from Chile .......
You have no idea how good your music is aging. I wish Chris were around to see that . Good , potent music ( and art } are essential elements of anyone's lives
The Bereni/Anderson songwriting duo should consider getting together and Recording an album again
Their improvement with each album . Made us the fans of Lush ; want now after so long that they re unite and write some new stuff . Myki and Emma, along with Phil K and Chris A were absolutely brilliant, and always will be remembered, but would be GREAT if they would unite and record some new songs , considering the obvious difficulty of that ... For us the fans, how about it ? Cheers !!!
Could I? I often wonder....
Amazing song!
