The Hollies

The Hollies are an English pop group formed in Manchester in the early 1960s, although the majority of the band members came from towns in East Lancashire. Known for their distinctive vocal harmony style, they became one of the leading British groups of the 1960s and early 1970s. They enjoyed considerable popularity in many countries, although they did not achieve major US chart success until 1966. They had 30 charting singles on the UK Singles Chart, and 21 on the Billboard Hot 100, with songs including, "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", "Carrie Anne", "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" and "The Air That I Breathe". more »

Some kids grow up with lots of toys
Some grow up knowing other boys
And I was born in the land of the free
But these things never happened to me

'Cos I was born a man
Don't remember being a child
I was born a man
Don't remember running wild

As soon as I was old enough to get my pay
I was working sixteen hours out of every day

Some kids grow up with a mothers love
And some with even more
But me I just turned up one day
On someone else's door

'Cos I was born a man
Don't remember being a child
I was born a man
Don't remember running wild

As soon as I was old enough to get my pay
I was working sixteen hours out of every day

But I won't cry
No I won't bore you
It has been good but it could have been better

Life's like a woman
Go out and take her
She'll treat you good if you are good back to her

I was born a man
Don't remember being a child
I was born a man
Don't remember running wild

As soon as I was old enough to get my pay
I was working sixteen hours out of every day
