Lyrics Hollies - I Wanna Shout

Lyrics Hollies - I Wanna Shout

Do you find it hard to tell me
To tell that you really love me
'cause I find it hard to tell you
To tell you that I really love you

And I know what's in your heart
In your mind, in your body, and your soul
But it's easy when we whisper
Not letting people know.

We want to shout it out loud
But we can't let people know
We want to shout it out loud
But our love is not for show

[Chorus:]
I've got something you've got nothing
A child, a home of my own
It's so hard for me to break it
I can't break it, I can't make it on my own

[Chorus:] x2

Lyrics Hollies - Mad Professor Blyth

Lyrics Hollies - Mad Professor Blyth

Mad Professor Blyth is working on his pet invention
To dematerialise himself into the fourth dimension
He's got his mind set on illusion
To find the secrets of diffusion
Conclusion: he disappeared

Tried it on his cat one grey night when it was foggy
Never got it back Oh what happened to his Moggy
He's got his mind set on illusion
To find the secrets of diffusion
Conclusion: he's disappeared

All the kids around about his neighbourhood
Used to laugh at him and call him names
Silly old bat freaky four-eyes
Sort of things they used to shout
He can't hear them now

He's disappeared
Colleagues at the lab
They all thought that he was crazy
Don't know where he's at
His formulas to them are hazy

He had his mind set on illusion
He found the secrets of diffusion
Conclusion: he's disappeared

Lyrics Hollies - Memphis

Lyrics Hollies - Memphis

Long distance information give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find a party tried to get in touch with me
She did not leave her number but I know who placed the call
My uncle took the message and he wrote on the wall

Help me information get in touch with my Marie
She's the only who'd call me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the south side high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge

Help me information more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the times we had
But we were torn apart because her ma did not agree
She tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Help me information more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the times we had
But we were torn apart because her ma did not agree
She tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Last time I saw Marie she was waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Marie is only six years old, oh information please
Try and put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee

Lyrics Hollies - Carrie Anne

Lyrics Hollies - Carrie Anne

Hey, Carrie-Anne.
Hey, Carrie-Anne.
When we were at school, our games were simple.
I played a janitor, you played a monitor.
Then you played with older boys and prefects.
What's the attraction in what they're doing?
Hey, Carrie-Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
Hey, Carrie-Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
You were always something special to me
quite independent, never caring.
You lost your charm as you were aging.
Where is your magic disappearing?

[Chorus]
You're so, so like a woman to me. (so lke a woman to me)
So, so like a woman to me. (like a woman to me)

People live and learn but you're still learning
You use my mind and I'll be your teacher.
When the lesson's over, you'll be with me.
Then I'll hear the other people saying.

[Chorus]

Carrie-Anne, Carrie-Anne, Carrie-Anne.

Lyrics Hollies - Lady Of The Night

Lyrics Hollies - Lady Of The Night

Chilled to the bone I see a lady
stalking like a black cat in the night
Shivers down my spine my mind's racin'
wondering why the lady's taken flight

[Chorus]
Oh oh lady of the night
Oh oh lady of the night

Can't be a dream, reality's no liar
it's not my imagination running wild
but to suddenly appear when I'm no high flier
It's got me so confused but tantalized

Don't be confused if you don't know what I'm saying
I'm letting you in to what's happening my friend
One of these nights she's gonna get you
You'll experience just what I'm going through, yeah

[Chorus]

Lyrics Hollies - Draggin' My Heels

Lyrics Hollies - Draggin' My Heels

First at the gate post but the last one through
I hung around far too long for you
Left out the game left out the deal
Stupid of me to be draggin' my heels
Oh oh oh draggin' my heels
Oh oh oh draggin' my heels, heels
Time waits for no one and I wasted my time
Got to the crossroads but took the wrong sign
I'd go too far didn't know how she'd feel
Stupid of me to be draggin my heels
Oh oh oh draggin' my heels
Oh oh oh draggin' my heels, heels
If I had the chance to go back again,
I wouldn't do the same
I learned by mistakes
I'd be on my knees I'd be there to please
I'd be anything you want me to be
You want to be
verse 1
heels, heels

Lyrics Hollies - I Want You

Lyrics Hollies - I Want You

The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonely organ grinder cries
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn
But it's not that way
I wasn't born to lose you
I want you, I want you
Oh so bad
Baby, I want you

Once a politician leaves
Upon the street where mothers weep
The saviours who are fast asleep
They wait for you
And I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin from my broken cup
And askin me to open up the gate for you

Woh baby I want you
I want you
I want you
Oh, so bad
Baby I want you

Now all my fathers, they've gone down
True love they've been without it
But all their daughters put me down
'Cause I don't think about it

Baby I want you
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit
He spoke to me, I took his flute
No, I wasn't very cute to him now was I

I did it because he lied
Because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side
And because I want you, baby I want you

I want you

Lyrics Hollies - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

Lyrics Hollies - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there

For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another

It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share

And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy he's my brother

He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

Lyrics Hollies - Romany

Lyrics Hollies - Romany

Take me home
Sailing on with Romany
To and fro on a icy morning
Feeling calm to have an old friend 'round
Feeling warm to see the wind blow down

Take me home
Where saints and children laughing
Tell the Dutchman ships are passing
Feeling safe to reach the harbor sound

Feeling warm to see the wind blow down
Take me home
Leave the galley sailors talking
Leave the bridge and captain's walking
Feeling naked on the covered ground
Feeling warm to see the wind blow down

The wind blowed
Down in the moonless light
The sea was dark
The breeze was light
Everyone's thoughts were their own
Caught by the ocean thief
The bow hit on a coral reef
Romany sank like a stone

chorus
verse 1

Lyrics Hollies - Another Night

Lyrics Hollies - Another Night

Out on the town kicking around feeling bluesy
It's getting late I can't afford to be choosy
Should be home and dry by now
Tried every trick in the book but

Another night Saturday night and I'm losing
Another night Saturday night and I'm losing

The DJ plays a song from the past I remember
I hold her tight in my arms she surrenders
It's the same old record playing
But it's a different girl that's swaying

[Chorus:]
As we move around the room
Whispering things with my eyes closed
I feels that you're here
Then the music stops I open my eyes
My fantasy ends we're not even friends

So leave me to catch my ride pay my fare on my way home
The same thing every week on my own
Next time around you might be there
My luck might change but until then

[Chorus:]

Lyrics Hollies - A Taste Of Honey

Lyrics Hollies - A Taste Of Honey

A taste of honey

Tastin' much sweeter than wine



Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart

And lingers still, though we're far apart

A taste of honey (honey, honey)

Tastin' much sweeter



I dream of your first kiss, and then

I feel upon your lips and then

A taste of honey (honey, honey)

Tastin' much sweeter



I will return, yes I will return

I'll come back for the honey



break



Well I will return, yes I will return

I'll come back

For the honey

And you

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa you

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa you

Whoa, whao, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa you

Lyrics Hollies - I've Got A Way Of My Own

Lyrics Hollies - I've Got A Way Of My Own

Everything 'round them is spinning and turning
But they can't understand
People around me just never stop learning
About the things that I've planned

[Chorus]
I've got a way, way of my own
Just look around them they better start thinking
People will lend a hand
They better watch it or else they'll start sinking
With their heads in the sand

I've got a way, way of my own
Come back, when you've time for the world
You must think they'd don't need anyone, no no
Come back, when you've time for the world
They might find what they're looking for
They might find what they're looking for

I can't believe that the reason they're giving
Will entice me to go
Why they deny me the right to start living
I'll just never know

I've got a way, way of my own

[Chorus]

Lyrics Hollies - Hard, Hard Year

Lyrics Hollies - Hard, Hard Year

Bad times, something's wrong
Money's gone, I'm on my own
Can't stay, there's nothing here
It's been a hard, hard year

First month, snows came
Put me in bed, couldn't work the same
Job's gone, bills are here
Been a hard, hard year

I look on the bad side of life
I lose heart then I want to die
So I've got to get back on my feet
And prove to myself I'm a man

I hope that the bad times are gone
It's been work, but I think that I've won
Now I'm happy
And I'll never be that way again
No, I'll never be that way again

Snow's gone, spring's here
Won't happen twice, I've seen my way clear
Everyone's paid, got no one to fear
Been a hard, hard year

Lyrics Hollies - Gasoline Alley Bred (R. Cook - A. Greenaway - T. Macaulay)

Lyrics Hollies - Gasoline Alley Bred (R. Cook - A. Greenaway - T. Macaulay)

Woman get your hair out of curlers
Time to get your butt out of bed
Get down your hats and your baggage my child
Goin' back home, gettin' back to the homestead

I'm a-gonna heat me some water
Put a shine upon my shoes
Telephone my ma, keep the room above Joe's
'Cause we're coming back coming back to the homestead
Everything is packed, gettin' back to the homestead
This time, this time we'll stay, baby

I know that we could have made it
We had ideas in our heads
And I wish somehow we could have saved it
But we're Gasoline Alley bred
Yet the years haven't really been wasted
And I know it in my head
We did good for the life that we've tasted
'Cause we're Gasoline Alley, Gasoline Alley bred

Woman you can really believe it
I did everything a man could do
Breaking my back just to make us a dime
That won't mean a damn when no one wants to know you

Woman I know how you feel it
I've seen the hurt upon your face
How many time do you think that I've cried
Knowing every day that your heart was getting broken
Holding back your pride till you were nearly choking
Oh, let's get away, baby

I know that we could have made it
We had ideas in our heads
And I wish somehow we could have saved it
But we're Gasoline Alley bred
Yet the years haven't really been wasted
And I know it in my head
We did good for the life that we've tasted
'Cause we're Gasoline Alley, Gasoline Alley bred

(Gasoline Alley) Gasoline Alley Bred
(Gasoline Alley) Gasoline Alley Bred
(Gasoline Alley) Gasoline Alley Bred
(Gasoline Alley) Gasoline Alley Bred

Lyrics Hollies - Lizzy And The Rainman

Lyrics Hollies - Lizzy And The Rainman

He came riding in on a sunrise
A hot west Texas day
A fancy man in a painted wagon
Some fancy things to say
Looks like you folks'll need some water
Well water is my game
For the small price of a hundred dollars
I bet you I can make it rain
So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come
Someone start a fire burning, somebody beat the drum
Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before the day is over your folks'll see some rain
They all just stood a staring trying to believe
But there was one named Lizzy Cooper said he was a lying cheat
She said you call yourself a rainman, well you oughta be ashamed
For starting all these people dreaming thinking you can make it rain
So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come
Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum
Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before the day is over your folks'll see some rain
Oh Lizzy, a man's gotta have a dream
And if you can walk on the inside with me
I'll meet you in between
Come with me Lizzy
And the stars'll write your name
And if you still think I'm lying to you
Look yonder here comes the rain
So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come
Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum
Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before the day is over your folks'll see some rain
So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come
Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum
Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before the day is over your folks'll see some rain

Lyrics Hollies - Amnesty

Lyrics Hollies - Amnesty

Love is the sweetest amnesty
Floats like a cloud between the sky and sea
I'll give it to you
Could you please give it to me

Love is the sweetest amnesty
Given by the powers
Then let us be
I'll give it to you
Could you please give it to me
'Cause I need you

[Chorus:]
We can talk
We can see
If we disagree we do it honestly
Let our lovin' be
The sweetest amnesty

Between you and me
There's bound to be
Some conscientious objection
Our spirits dressed in mystery
Speak solely through affection

Love is the sweetest amnesty
Floats like a cloud between the sky and sea
I'll give it to you
Could you please give it to me

"Cause I need you (need you)

[Chorus]
Let our lovin' be
The sweetest amnesty

Lyrics Hollies - I'm Alive

Lyrics Hollies - I'm Alive

Did you ever see a man with no heart
Baby, that was me
Just a lonely, lonely man with no heart
Til you set me free

Now I can breathe
I can see
I can touch
I can feel

I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the things I've ever missed
I've never felt like this
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

I used to think I was living
Baby, I was wrong
No I never knew a thing about living
Til you came along

Now I can breathe
I can see
I can touch
I can feel

I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the things I've ever missed
I've never felt like this
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

Now I can breathe
I can see
I can touch
I can feel

I can taste all the sugar sweetness in your kiss
You give me all the love I've ever missed
I've never felt like this
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

Lyrics Hollies - Nobody

Lyrics Hollies - Nobody

I don't have nobody
I don't need nobody
I don't want nobody
To fall in love with me
To fall in love with me

And I'm telling you
I'm here on my own-some
Everyday I get more lonesome
But I don't want nobody
To fall in love with me
To fall in love with me

I'm just telling you girl
I don't want you hanging round
I'm just telling you girl
You gotta stop at putting me down

[Verse 1 ]
To fall in love with me
To fall in love with me

Lyrics Hollies - Find Me A Family

Lyrics Hollies - Find Me A Family

I take my life one day at a time
So many dreams that come and go in my mind
Is this a new beginning a time when fools are winning
Everybody needs something to believe
The world we see is changing so fast
No guarantees how long does a feeling last
One look can tell a story
My future's waiting for me
Let it be with you make it all come true
And find me a family
Somewhere to go where I can belong
That special place that I can call my home
You know I'm gonna find it someday
Please let me stay
Find me a family
I gotta know that somebody cares
I need a chance I got so much to give
If you can find me a family
Find me a family
I live and hope and whisper a prayer
When I come home that you will be waiting there
It's just a breath away and all you have to say
Is stay with me tonight
You know it sounds so right
chorus
Find me a family x6
