Olympia

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 out 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 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?
