Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress - The Hollies
Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" was a song by the rock and roll group, The Hollies, and released on February 1, 1972 as a single on the Parlophone Records label. It was released soon after Allan Clarke, who was featured on lead guitar as well as lead vocal had left the group, from their album "Distant Light" (1970). As the group had just left EMI/Parlophone and signed with Polydor, they did not promote the song. However it became a No. 2 hit in the United States, their greatest ever singles success there. It was inspired and in the style of the rock and roll group Creedence Clearwater Revival, and on being reactivated by EMI in Britain a few months later, it reached No. 32. The song is notable in that it features Clarke playing rhythm guitar, something he rarely did (Clarke came up with the song's signature guitar rhythm that opens the song).

THE HOLLIES-"LONG COOL WOMAN (IN A BLACK DRESS) W/LYRICS
PEAKED AT #2 IN 1972. LYRICS: Saturday night I was downtown Working for the FBI Sitting in a nest of bad men Whiskey bottles piling high Bootlegging boozer on the west side Full of people who are doing wrong Just about to call up the DA man When I heard this woman singing a song A pair of 45's made me open my eyes My temperature started to rise She was a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5-9 beautiful tall With just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all - (musical interlude)- I saw her heading to the table Well a tall walking big black cat When Charlie said I hope that you're able, boy Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at Well then suddenly we heard the sirens And everybody started to run Jumping under doors and tables Well I heard somebody shooting a gun Well the DA was pumping my left hand And she was holding my right Well I told her, "Don't get scared 'Cause you're gonna be spared" Well I'm gonna be forgivin' If I wanna spend my living With a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5-9 beautiful tall With just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all Had it all, had it all, had it all...

THE HOLLIES - BUS STOP (1966-live) - Legendado
Bus stop, wet day, she's there I say Please share my umbrella Bus stop, bus go, she stays love grows Under my umbrella All that summer we enjoyed it Wind and rain and shine That umbrella we employed it By August she was mine Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop Sometimes she'd shop and she would show me what she bought All the people stared as if we were both quite insane Someday my name and hers are going to be the same That's the way the whole thing started Silly, but it's true Thinking of a sweet romance Beginning in a queue Came the sun, the ice was melting No more sheltering, now Nice to think that that umbrella Led me to a vow Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop Sometimes she'd shop and she would show me what she bought All the people stared as if we were both quite insane Someday my name and hers are going to be the same Bus stop, wet day She's there I say Please share my umbrella Bus stop, bus go, she stays, love grows Under my umbrella All that summer we enjoyed it Wind and rain and shine That umbrella we employed it By August she was mine

The Hollies - Sorry Suzanne
By "Poopaloo" demand! From the Tom Jones Show. Horrendous quality (it's hard to make Tony's lovely schnozz look weird, yet this vid succeeds in that)...but it's in color and has a live vocal. If anyone has a better version please upload it!
The Air That I Breathe By The Hollies
If I could make a wish I think I'd pass Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound Nothing to eat no books to read Making love with you, has left me peaceful warm inside What more could I ask There's nothing left to be desired Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you Just to have you now All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want Peace came upon me and it breathes in me Don't sleep silent angel don't you sleep Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you just to have you now All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you All I need is the air that I breathe you're all I want Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you All I need is the air that I breathe
The Hollies - King Midas In Reverse (1967)
If you could only see me, I know exactly where I am You wouldn't want to be me Oh, I can assure you of that I'm not the guy to run with, 'cause I'll throw you off the line I'll break you and destroy you, Given time He's King Midas with a curse, He's King Midas in reverse He's King Midas with a curse, He's King Midas in reverse It's plain to see it's hopeless Going on the way we are So even though I'd lose you You'd be better off by far He's not the man to hold your trust, Everything he touches turns to dust In his hands, Nothing he can do is right He'd even like to sleep at night But he can't All he touches turns to dust, All he touches turns to dust All he touches turns to dust, All he touches turns to dust I wish someone would find me, And help me gain control Before I lose my reason, And my soul He's King Midas with a curse He's King Midas in reverse He's King Midas with a curse, He's King Midas in reverse
