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 »

Oh woman get your head out of curlers ! 
Time to get your butt out of bed ! 
Get down your hats and your baggage my child 

Going back home getting back to the homestead. 
I'm gonna heat me some water 

Put a shine upon my shoes. 
Telephone my mac keep the room above Joe's 
Cause we're coming back 
Coming back to the homestead. 
Ev'rything is packed gettin' back to the homestead this time. 
This time we'll stay 
Baby. 

I know that we could have made it. 
We had ideas in our heads. 
And I wish somehow we could have saved it 

But we're gasoline alley bred. 
Yet the years haven't really been wasted 

And I know it in my head. 
We did good for the life that we tasted 
Cause we're gasoline alley 
Gasoline alley bred. 

Woman did you really believe it 

I did ev'rything a man could do. 
Breakin' my back just to make us a dime. 
That don't mean a thing when no one wants to know you. 
I've seen the hurt upon your face. 
How many times do you think that I've cried 

Knowin' ev'ry day your heart was gettin' broken 

Holdin' back your pride 'till you were nearly chocking 
Oh 
Let's get away 
Baby
