    There's a reprise on the Genesis album 'Selling England By The Pound'. '...easy now, there's a SAFE WAY home. Thankful for her FINE FAIR discount, TESS CO-OPerates'.

    Another track on the album has the words 'Knights of the GREEN SHIELD STAMP and shout'

    They don't make 'em like that any more,

    Or not. It would've been had the Coca Cola company not stopped them from using it. That's why Ray sings "Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry cola, c-o-l-a, cola"

    But it was Coca-cola early on.

    And was it Coke or the BBC who made them change it? Can't remember anymore.

    I'll have take your word for it Henry...before my time :-) Good point though, might have been the Beeb not Coke.

    From wapedia:

    In his autobiography, Dave Davies mentions that he came up with the music for what would become Lola. After Dave had shown his brother the music, Ray came up with the lyrics. Dave goes on to claim his brother took all the credit for the song. The original lyrics had the word "Coca-Cola" but because of BBC Radio's policy against product placement, those words were changed to the generic "cherry cola" for the single release.

    From Wiki

    "Gosling debuted with The Kinks on "Lola" (1970), a clever account of a confused romantic encounter with a transvestite that became both a U.K. and U.S. hit. The song originally contained a reference to "Coca-Cola", but the BBC refused to play it as this was considered a violation of their advertising policy. The single then had to be hastily re-recorded with the offending line changed to "cherry cola"."
