Both of my current bands play this song, and it's the lead song on my CD. I think it's high time to have an update of "Lola."
To hear the song for free, you can go to Myspace--you don't even have to register to listen. Just email me, and I'll send you the link.
This is not a neutral song. When we tell stories about CD or TG life, they're bound to have a point-of-view. I would hope that you can enjoy this saga, whether or not you identify with this gal's choices about where she is on the spectrum of gender and attraction.

Leaving the cab, Lea shifted her legs
A queen of the night, and a pawn in the day
The guys at the door, gave a look, and then twice,
Her shoulders were broad, but the bearing was right
-2-
Billy stepped out, from the cave of the lounge,
Tired of loudness, not up for the crowd,
He was resigned, to the road and the night,
He lifted his head, and Lea came into sight.
She came in…and he grinned
Chorus
She’s an ordinary man,
She’s a magical woman
And she roams the borderlands,
of your heart.
-3-
A sudden relief, from the grind of the show,
A stunning attraction, she sets you aglow
She’s pretty tall, but you’re up to that,
You’re moving on in, her fingers run up your back
Chorus
She’s an ordinary man,
She’s a magical woman
And she roams the borderlands,
of your heart.
Bridge
Of your heart
borderlands
far from her home
As a man
-4-
You can keep dancing, ‘till time starts to slow
You’re nobody’s fool, and yet she’s still quite a show,
Let your four walls go, from pressure within,
Wherever you’re going, it was bound to begin
Chorus 2x
She’s an ordinary man,
She’s a magical woman,
And he never planned at all,
to be her!
She’s a man,
and she’s a magical woman,
And she roams the borderlands,
of your heart.

That's great Anita!
As a former rock band member myself, and avid rock music fan, I have always enjoyed finding CD/TG related topics in songs.
I used to have a list of songs that touch on the subject, but I have no idea where that ever went... But there was easily 20+. As expected "Lola" was the first on the list. One of my favorites is Heart's "Strange Night".
Anyway, I would love to check out your myspace page and hear the song!
Hugs,
Jessica

I like it, Anita, and I'd love to hear it.
What instrument(s) do you play? I've been thinking about starting a musician's thread to see how many girls here play. I'm a drummer, primarily, playing rock, blues, jazz and fusion - even a little country from time to time. But I also play some guitar.
How many other musicians do we have?

I'm not that kind of girl.

MUSIC
Definitely want to hear your song.
If I'm not mistaken, there have been a number of music threads started here.
I'd say music is a big part of many of this forum's participants.
I am not a musician or singer, but am involved in a small part of the music business.
I have been writing about music for over thirty years; started back when big round vinyl LP's were the main source of recorded music.
I have contributed to many magazines and newspapers over the years, done booklet notes for CD's, and have entries in several music reference books.
I have received personal messages from a few members of CD FORUM with similar tastes in music.
Some of them might be able to figure out my "real identity" if they've read my work, so I'm a little nervous about posting more details of my music background and tastes.
Peace-- Kendra Lynn ("hippie cheerleader")
