The wrong song

[lovecraft68]

She is the same woman he wrote "Layla" for.

As long as she's not the woman the kinks wrote about in Lola he'll be okay.

Are you sayin' this song is about a dude with a case of the beer-goggles?

Not likely, since it starts out with her getting ready to go the party and she asks him how she looks.

Considering Lola wasn't a woman, I doubt it's the same person.

But in the beginning of the song, the guy thought she was. I think anyway. Who knows? I'm not one of those people who read meaning into every lyric, if I like the beat I listen.

I can tell.

George Harrison's (then) wife.
