The Other Side Of The Hollies

The Hollies The Other Side Of The Hollies Lyrics
1.'Cos You Like To Love Me

Lyrics:Hicks
Music:Hicks

I feel that's something's right
You don't like holding me tight
What's wrong with me
I don't know
Maybe it's time I should go

But just as I get to the door
You look at me and say no
Come and be good to me
come and make love to me
Stay Stay

'Cos you like to love me
And just me and nobody else
And I like to love you
And just you and nobody else

We should get out more I know
But we're just too lazy to go
What's outside that's not in here
Nothing's so good that's so near

2.Everything Is Sunshine

Lyrics:Clarke/Hicks/Nash
Music:Clarke/Hicks/Nash

I keep on thinkin about the things that make me cry
I keep on thinkin about the things that make me die
but everythin is sunshine when you hold my hand

If everybody knew you the way I do
people wouldn't wear frowns the way they do
'Cos everything is sunshine when you hold my hand

Oh no how could it be
You effect me
Just by holding my hand
by holding my hand

(repeat)

verse 2

If everybody knew you the way I do
people wouldn't wear frowns the way they do
'Cos everything is sunshine
Everything is sunshine
Everything is sunshine


3.Signs That Will Never Change

Lyrics:Clarke/Hicks/Nash
Music:Clarke/Hicks/Nash

Leaves come falling on a winter's day
Robins weep and watch them sail away
Floating on the water is autumns last farewell
These are signs that will never change
Signs that will never change

Rivers once were frozen now they're free
Showing winter's going rapidly
Tadpoles turning into frogs in winter's last farewell
These are signs that will never change
Signs that will never change

The changing faces of the seasons
Are those that cannot be compared
Except in love it sometimes happens
Love grows but all too soon it dies

Tadpoles turning into frogs in winter's last farewell
These are signs that will never change
Signs that will never change
Signs that will never change


4.Not That Way At All

Lyrics:Clarke
Music:Clarke

When I was a kid I had a rocking horse
Rocking to and fro, high and low
Where we'd go no one'd know

Thousands of tin soldiers were at my command
Dressed in red dressed in blue
Each command always followed through

But now it's not that way at all
No it's not that way at all

Now I've changed and I have aged
Left here with just memories
How I wish to be young again

But it's not that way at all
No it's not that way at all

No it's not that way at all
No it's not that way at all
No it's not that way at all
No it's not that way at all

When I was a kid I had a rocking horse
Rocking to and fro, high and low
Where we'd go no one'd know

But it's not that way at all
No it's not that way at all


5.You Know He Did


6.Do The Best You Can

Lyrics:Clarke/Hicks/Nash
Music:Clarke/Hicks/Nash

When you come across
the guy who thinks he's boss
yet never knows the reason why
He won't let you pass
won't answer things you ask
He's got his orders do or die

Someone said to me
if you tip the doorman heavily
his doors will open wide for you
Goes to show what money can do
Win again lose again
Don't feel sad when things go bad
you just do the best you can
do the best you can

Please be kind to those
who fail to comprehend
And in time who knows
you'll maybe make a friend

If you leave your car
and you're not going far
remember what time to be back
If it slips your mind
I'm sure in time you'll find
a Rita waiting in a mac

chorus

Win again lose again
Don't feel sad when things go bad
you just do the best you can
do the best you can
do the best you can


7.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


8.I've Got A Way Of My Own

Lyrics:Ransford
Music:Ransford

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

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


9.Don't Run And Hide


10.Come On Back

Lyrics:Ransford
Music:Ransford

Been so long since I last saw you
Come on back Come on back
I'm just feeling lost without you
Come on back Come on back
Because you never you never you never held me tight
You didn't you didn't treat me right

Why don't you admit you love me
and come on back come on back
Say you're always thinking of me
Come on back Come on back
Because you never you never you never held me tight
You didn't you didn't treat me right

It's not so very hard (It's not so very hard)
to make me feel this way (to make me feel this way)
It's not so very hard (I just can't)
Can't find the words the words to say
Can't find the words the words to say

repeat

verse 1

Come on back!


11.All The World Is Love

Lyrics:Clarke/Hicks/Nash
Music:Clarke/Hicks/Nash

In my secluded state my mind
Valued things are hard to find
My mind's gone I know not where
left without a care

When my thoughts are taking flight
pen them down on sheets of white
Building castles in the air
left without a care

In a crowded room alone that's where you'll find me
I have left my mind somewhere floating behind me

Blue skies white clouds to be seen
wish my mind could be as clean
As the clouds that swim above
all the world is love

chorus

Bubbles forming all around
Left my body on the ground
Unattached too hard to move
All the world is love
All the world is love
All the world is love


12.Whole World Over

Lyrics:Nash/Clarke
Music:Nash/Clarke

Gonna search the whole world over
gonna find the one I love
even though takes a hundred years

Gonna take the one the I love
underneath the stars above
making sure that she really cares

Happiness will be mine
underneath the stars that shine
Here's hoping she will be
always standing here by me

Gonna tell the whole world over
now I found the one I love
Gonna praise and thank the Lord above

verse 3

verse 4


13.Row The Boat Together

Lyrics:Clarke
Music:Clarke

Standing by a riverside
A river so deep and so wide
Current's too strong for only one man
I know because I tried

I got eight oars -
four on either side
Is there anybody with me
Eight hands four willing hearts
Won't someone answer my plea

Well I got in the boat
I stayed afloat
Some way across I was tiring
Well I need someone to help me
to get to the other side

Along came son of Alabama south
He said 'I heard you calling
If you don't mind the colour of my skin
I'll help you not to fall in'

Then suddenly Joe from out of Tokyo
'If my eyes don't make you nervous
I used to handle a junk back home'
Said 'Can I be of service'

Well we got in the boat
we stayed afloat
Halfway across we were tiring
We got to row this boat together
to get to the other side

Two more oars
only one seat left
One more person to lean on
A brotherhood boat to a land called home
with our share of freedom

Got in the boat
stayed afloat
There's no need to be tiring
We rowed this boat together
Happiness meets the other side
We rowed this boat together
Happiness meets the other side
We rowed this boat together
Happiness meets the other side


14.Mad Professor Blyth

Lyrics:Clarke
Music:Clarke

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


15.Dandelion Wine

Lyrics:Hicks
Music:Hicks

Stoned all the time on dandelion wine
What else can I do
I've been this way everyday
now that we're through

Do I love you
You can bet your life that I do-do-do
Do I love you
I would drink my wine from your sh-sh-shoe

Stoned all the time on dandelion wine
It's all down to on you
I've been this way everyday
thinking of you

chorus x2

Stoned all the time on dandelion wine
What else can I do
I've been this way everyday
now that we're through

repeat


16.Baby That's All


17.Nobody

Lyrics:Ransford
Music:Ransford

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:Nash/Clarke
Music:Nash/Clarke

Hey just what's with me
You've been looking far too good to me
I know our love could never be now

My heart it keeps on beating
I know that you've been cheating
I know our love could never be now

I tried how I tried
to keep you satisfied
by me Oh gee
you go from me and how I cried
