Two Sisters

Album: Something Else By The Kinks (1967)

  • Sylvilla looked into her mirror
    Percilla looked into the washing machine
    And the drudgery of being wed
    She was so jealous of her sister
    And her liberty, and her smart young friends
    She was so jealous of her sister

    Sylvilla looked into the wardrobe
    Percilla looked into the frying pan
    And the bacon and eggs
    And the breakfast is served
    She was so jealous of her sister
    And her way of life, and her luxury flat
    She was so jealous of her sister

    She threw away her dirty dishes just to be free again
    Her women's weekly magazines just to be free again
    And put the children in the nursery just to be free again
    Percilla saw her little children
    And then decided she was better off
    Than the wayward lass that her sister had been
    No longer jealous of her sister
    So she ran 'round the house with her curlers on
    No longer jealous of her sister Writer/s: RAYMOND DOUGLAS DAVIES
