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 »

Down, down, down town, east side of the river
Bowery boys are living off the street 
There stands a stranger all dressed in black 
He's looking for someone, he's gonna knife 'em in the back 
Hit man, G-man, con man, watch it man, he might be from the CIA 
Sneaky Pete's using his feet, getting off the street 'cause 
He's got something to hide 

Danger, there's a stranger 
Intruding in your own backyard 
But stranger, there's a danger 
Don't come across nobody hard 

So tough mixing it rough down in Harlem 
There's no honky boys for miles around
But there's that stranger all dressed in white 
He's looking for someone 
He's gonna show 'em the light, yeah 
He's gonna show 'em the light, oh yeah 

Don't feel safe using the face of Fifth Avenue 
Pin stripe suits ain't no disguise if you're not a man that's true 
Hit man, G-man, con man, watch it man, he might be from the CIA 
Sneaky Pete's still using his feet, getting off the street 'cause
He's got something to hide 

Danger, there's a stranger 
Intruding in your own backyard 
But stranger, there's a danger 
Don't come across nobody hard
