Not The Hits Again

The Hollies Not The Hits Again Lyrics
1.Wings

Lyrics:Clarke/Nash
Music:Clarke/Nash

Love comes but once in a while
Now that you're here I'm beginning to smile
Why do they want us to walk when we can fly

Our love is burning inside
Why is it something that we have to hide
Why do they want us to walk when we can fly

We'll always feel the same
If they break us up we'll only have ourselves to blame
But we know they're playing games
What affairs to show we can make it go

If they only had wings
then they'd be sharing in all of our things
Why do they want to walk when they can fly

What affairs to show we can make it go

chorus

Fly fly fly fly


2.It's In Her Kiss

Lyrics:Clark R
Music:Clark R

Does she love me I wanna know
How can I tell if she loves me so

Is it in her eyes (No no you'll be deceived)
Is it in her sighs (No no she'll make believe)
If you wanna know if she loves you so
it's in her kiss (That's where it is)

Is it in her face (No no that's just her charms)
In her warm embrace (No no that's just her arms)
If you wanna know if she loves you so
it's in her kiss (That's where it is)
Oh yeah it's in her kiss (That's where it is)

So hold her and squeeze tight
Tell her what you wanna know
If it's love if it really is
it's there in her kiss

How 'bout the way she acts (No no that's just her way)
You're not listening to the words that I say
If you wanna know if she loves you so
it's in her kiss (That's where it is)
Oh yeah it's in her kiss (That's where it is)

verse 4

verse 5

Oh yeah it's in her kiss (That's where it is)


3.You'll Be Mine

Lyrics:Ransford
Music:Ransford

It's been too long since I kissed you
much too long since I held you tight
Tonight yes tonight
you'll be mine

I've been told about your kisses
and I've thought about you every night
Tonight yes tonight
you'll be mine

I've made up my mind
not to be left on the shelf
Now I'm sure to find you
and keep you to myself
I just think about you every day
when you're near and when you're far away
Tonight yes tonight
you'll be mine

(repeat)


4.Take Your Time

Lyrics:Holly/Petty
Music:Holly/Petty

Take your time, I can wait.
For all of the love I know will be mine
if you take your time.

Take your time, though it's late.
Heart strings will sing like a string of twine
if you take your time.

Take your time and take mine too.
I have time to spend.
Take your time, go with me through
times 'til all times end.

Time, time, time, ...


5.I Am a Rock

Lyrics:Simon/Garfunkel
Music:Simon/Garfunkel

A winter's day in a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the street below
On a freshly fallen , silent shroud of snow

I am a rock I am an island

Don't talk of love
Well, I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
Don't disturb the slumber
Of feelings that have died
If I never loved, I never would have cried

chorus

I build walls
A fortress deep and might
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship
Friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain

chorus

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me

chorus

And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries

chorus x 2


6.Honey And Wine

Lyrics:Goffin/King
Music:Goffin/King

My daddy used to tell me
when I was under his wing
if you want to live a good life
just remember one thing
Though the world that we live in
can be so unkind
if you love a good woman
it's all honey and wine

I thought my daddy was wrong
Girl I was so lonely
until you came along
You began with the holding
Yeah the kissing was fine
All that was ready for the tasting
was the honey and wine

It's all honey and wine now
It's all honey and wine
If you love a good woman
it's all honey and wine

chorus

It's all honey and wine now
It's all honey and wine
It's all honey and wine

It's all honey and wine now
It's all honey and wine
If you love a good woman it's all honey and wine


7.Very Last Day

Lyrics:Stokey/Yarrow
Music:Stokey/Yarrow

Everybody's gonna pray
On the very last day
When they hear that bell
Ring the world away
Everybody's gonna pray to the heavens on the Judgment Day

Well you can sing about the great King David
And you can preach about the wisdom of Saul
But the Judgment falls on all mankind
When the trumpet sounds the call

All equal and the same
When the Lord, He calls your name
Get ready brothers for that day

Everybody's gonna pray
On the very last day
When they hear that bell
Ring the world away
Everybody's gonna pray to the heavens on the Judgment Day

Well one day soon all men will stand
His words will be heeded in all the land
Men shall know and men shall see
We all are brothers and we all are free

Mankind was made of clay
Each of us in the very same way
Get ready brothers for that day

Everybody's gonna pray
On the very last day
When they hear that bell
Ring the world away
Everybody's gonna pray to the heavens on the Judgment Day

Break

Well the law is given and the law is known
The tale is told and the seed is sown
From dust we came and dust we'll go
You know the Lord once told us so

Each brother take His hand
Heed the meaning of the Lord's command
Get ready brother for that day

Everybody's gonna pray
On the very last day
When they hear that bell
Ring the world away
Everybody's gonna pray to the heavens on the Judgment Day

Judgment Day

Judgment Day

Judgment Day


8.It's Only Make Believe

Lyrics:Twitty/Nance
Music:Twitty/Nance

My one and only prayer is that some day you'll care
My hopes, my dreams come true, my one and only you
No one will ever know how much I love you so
My only prayer will be some day you'll care for me
But it's only make believe

My hopes, my dreams come true, my life I give for you
My heart, a wedding ring, my all, my everything
My heart I can't control, you ruin my very soul
My hopes, my prayers, my schemes
You are my everything, but it's only make believe

Break

My one and only prayer is that some day you'll care
My hopes, my dreams come true, my one and only you
No one will ever know how much I love you so
My only prayer will be some day you'll care for me
But it's only make believe


9.That's My Desire

Lyrics:Loveday/Kresa
Music:Loveday/Kresa

To spend one night with you
In our rendezvous
And reminisce with you
That's my desire
Oh woa woa woa

To go where gypsies play
Down in some dim cafe
And dance till break of day
That's my desire
Oh woa woa woa

To sip a little glass of wine
And gaze into your eyes divine
To feel the touch of your lips
Pressing on mine

To hear you whisper low
Just when it's time to go
Cheri, I love you so
That's my desire
Oh woa woa woa
That's my desire
Oh woa woa woa
That's my desire


10.So Lonely

Lyrics:Ransford
Music:Ransford

Every time I see you walking down
The street with my girl
I get a funny feeling
When I see you out with my girl

I get so lonely
I get so lonely without you
I get so lonely for you

See you everyday
And now I realize you're not mine
I know I just can't think
Of anything to do with my time

'Cos I'm so lonely
I get so lonely without you

Waiting (Oh I'm waiting oh I'm waiting)
Oh I'm waiting (Oh I'm waiting yes I'm waiting)
Waiting (Oh I'm waiting yes I'm waiting)
For your loving
To keep me satisfied forever
To keep me satisfied forever

If you get tired of her
Just her right on back to my arms
And then we'll start anew
And know that we never will part

I get so lonely
I get so lonely without you
I get so lonely for you


11.Now's The Time

Lyrics:Clarke/Nash
Music:Clarke/Nash

Now's the time to say that we're through
Now's the time because I'm through with you
You treated me so bad
What a time I had
With you oh yeah times are bad times are bad

I recall the times that used to be
We went out together happily
Then he came along
I knew that it was wrong
to treat me so oh yeah times are bad times are bad

I miss the times
I feel so blue Without you my heart
it's just runaway

verse 1

chorus


12.Hard, Hard Year

Lyrics:Ransford
Music:Ransford

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


13.Put Yourself In My Place

Lyrics:Ransford
Music:Ransford

So you gotta put yourself in my place
I don't want to lose face

People talking 'round town
Telling me that you've been putting it round
That your love for me
So they say
It's hard to realize
That I love you this way
So you gotta put yourself in my place
Don't want to lose face

Coz you're telling these lies
Everyone will think it's no surprise
That you're leaving me today
I never thought that I'd see you walking away
So you gotta put yourself in my place
Don't want to lose face

So your friends turn their backs
And laugh at me
Well you just tell them
That our love could never be
And so you gotta now
Put yourself in my place

Break

So you gotta now
Put yourself in my place
Don't want to lose face

Why don't we both take a chance
I'm sure that if we tried we could save our romance
I'll never understand what you did to me
Why don't you realize that I'll never be free
And so you gotta
Put yourself in my place
Don't want to lose face

No no no no no no (lose face)
Listen to me baby (lose face)
Come on Come on
You gotta try
Lose face


14.Please Don't Feel Too Bad

Lyrics:Ransford
Music:Ransford

Please don't feel too bad because I'm leaving
I'm coming home again to you
And when I go away I know you're grieving
Although you know that I'll be true

I'm wondering what to do to make you know you're mine
I'll take you in my arms and then all will be fine

And when I'm away from you you know I'll miss you
I want to feel your tender touch
And when I'm feeling blue I want to kiss you
I stay away from you too much

chorus

Whoa whoa yeah too much

16.You Better Move On

Lyrics:Alexander Jr
Music:Alexander Jr

You ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love
You tell me I'm not the man she's worthy of
But who are you to tell her who to love
That's up to her, yes and the Lord above
You better move on

Well I know you can buy her fancy clothes and a diamond rings
I believe she'd be happy with me without those things
Still you beg me to set her free
But my friend that will never be
You better move on

I can't blame you for loving her
But can't you understand man, she's my girl
And I, I, I, I'm never gonna let her go
'Cause I, I, I, I love her so

Well let me tell you how

I think you better go now, I'm getting mighty mad
You ask me to give up the only love that I've ever had
Maybe I would, oh but I love her so
I'm never gonna let her go

You better move on

You better move on

You better move on

Lyrics:Ransford

Walking down the street
standing looking at me
If you don't wanna know me

Don't cross over the street to me
If you don't want my love
set me free

I see you walking by
love light in your eye
I just remember all those lies
So don't cross over the street to me
If you don't want my love set me free

Baby can't you leave me alone
Baby why don't you go on home
Baby don't you know that we are through
I don't need your love so set me free

Why don't you realise
that you and I are through
Every day I see you make me blue
So don't cross over the street to me
If you don't want my love set me free
If you don't want my love set me free
If you don't want my love set me free

22.Sweet Little Sixteen

Lyrics:Chuck Berry
Music:Chuck Berry

They're really rockin' in Boston
Pittsburgh, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas
Way down in 'Frisco Bay
All over St Louie
Down in New Orleans
All the cats going dancing
Sweet Little Sixteen

Sweet little sixteen
Just gotta have
Tight dresses and lipstick
Framed autographs
By tomorrow morning
She'll have to change the trend
Being sweet little sixteen
Back in class again
