The Hollies - Another Night (2008) by The Hollies (보컬) on maniadb.com

(Sylvester / Clarke / Hicks)
Out on the town kicking around feeling bluesy
It's getting late I can't afford to be choosy
Should be home and dry by now
tried every trick in the book but

Another night Saturday night and I'm losing
Another night Saturday night and I'm losing

The DJ plays a song from the past I remember
I hold her tight in my arms she surrenders
It's the same old record playing
but it's a different girl that's swaying

chorus

As we move around the room
whispering things with my eyes closed
I feels that you're here
Then the music stops I open my eyes
My fantasy ends We're not even friends

So leave me to catch my ride pay my fare on my way home
The same thing every week on my own
Next time around you might be there
my luck might change but until then

chorus

(Sylvester / Clarke)
Heading out on my way to nowhere
just a traveling man
Hitching rides along the highway
from whoever I can

Gotta stop someplace somewhere
and put some leather on my shoes
They're the only pair that get me there
any horizon that I choose

I know when the cold wind blows
my coat will keep me warm
I've got no woman's love
to call my own

I saw you lying there
a cast-off from another man
So I picked you up took you home
and home is on my back

Lonely hobo lullaby is my song
Lonely hobo lullaby gets me along
My shoes my coat my jeans
and anything else I own
We're a family without a tree
no roots to hold us down

verse 1

verse 2

(Sylvester / Clarke / Hicks)
Time machine jive Time machine jive
Time machine jive Time machine jive

You better look out
look out your window tonight
There'll be a hot cat on your tin roof
layin' it loose

There'll be a full band
to give me a hand
The moon will be a spotlight
for this one-night stand

You better look out
look out your window tonight

chorus

You gotta reach out
and try to grab my glitter suit
Snatch your hand full of stars
take a trip in my seven league boots

Come silver surfin'
you'll know you had a ride
My star-treck music's gonna take me high
You better look out
look out your window tonight

Time machine jive Time machine jive

Dimensional intentional sensual
Immeasurable pleasurable hitch a ride

chorus x2

Don't leave it too late
or you won't get a ticket on my cruise
Don't be the last one
or else you'll have to light the fuse

You can't afford not
to be on board
Come on baby
hear the music that's calling
and look out look out your window tonight (Time machine jive Time machine jive)
You better look out look out your window tonight(Time machine jive Time machine jive)
Look out look out your window tonight(Time machine jive Time machine jive)
You better look out look out your window tonight (Time machine jive Time machine jive)

Shook my head out of dreams
Reality's calling
The early bird's been up all morning
but I've got no notion of moving from where I am

Though my legs won't move
I feel disabled
I'm on a shelf an article labeled
waiting for someone to fetch me from lost and found

I'm down No one to hear me calling
I'm down No one to see me falling
I'm down

Had my ways
with days of sunshine
Life came easy it all fell in line
But then again I didn't realise

When you're used to one thing
it's hard to accept another
Like the woman who brought you up
well she ain't your mother
How do you cope
with a thing like that

chorus

I always thought it was my dad who went to war
Thought it was my sister who fell off the wall
My pseudo-brother Billy emigrated long ago
Someone went through pain to have me
someone I should know

I'm down
I'm down

To the folks who brought me up
I'm not ungrateful
Kept the secret from me
they thought it was shameful
It hurt me so
to be the last one to know

Maybe someone's out there
looking for me
Left on their own
couldn't afford to clothe me
And I I don't even know my real name

chorus

I'm down
I'm down
I'm down

(sylvester / clarke / hicks)
Johnny was a pusher on the east side
Pushing anything to be pushed
Laid something on a guy who didn't get high
Didn't know the guy was a hood

Wheeling-dealing johnny got frightened
Thought the best place was out of town
Packed up his bags and threw them in the back
Packed up his bags and threw them in the back
Of his chevy put his foot flat down

Look out johnny there's a monkey on your back
You better beware there johnny
'cause the monkey's packin' a gat
Drivin' over red lights speeding down the freeway
Johnny johnny get away

You better beware there johnny
There's a monkey on your back

Johnny thought he'd do something clever
Turning south on the old coast road
Pushing 94 swerving leaning on the door
Trying to shake off his heavy load

Crossed the state line feeling safer
Drinking in the corner of a bar
In walked a guy looked the barman in the eye
Said hey is johnny in here

Chorus

You better beware there johnny
There's a monkey on your back
Be good

You better beware there johnny
There's a monkey on your back
Look out johnny 'cos the monkey's packin' a gat
Drivin' over red lights speeding down the freeway
Johnny johnny get away

You better beware there johnny
There's a monkey on your back
Look out johnny there's a monkey on your back

(repeat)

(Sylvester / Clarke)
Back off baby
don't lean too hard
I'll come 'round when I'm ready
I ain't finished my playing 'round
don't want to go steady

You gotta give me time
Give me time give me time
You gotta give me time
Give me time give me time

The feeling in me ain't the same as yours
I'm still first-class flying
You've gotta wait till I reach the ground
No need to be lying

chorus

to think it over

Don't try so hard
Don't spoil your chance
Don't try so hard
Don't spoil your chance

verse 1

chorus
to think it over

Give me time
Give me time give me time
You gotta give time
Give me time give me time

(repeat)

(Sylvester / Clarke / Hicks)
Got a call from the doctor
He said hold on my friend
You've gotta know what I'm knowing
Please come right away

He said Lucy's been seeing me
and things just ain't right
You'll have to hold things together
'cos Lucy ain't much time

Now should I tell her or keep it inside
Making her happy by feeding her lines
How am I gonna tell the children
that Mama's goin' away
I couldn't love another woman
Oh Lucy please stay

If I'm gonna lose you
after all this time
I'm gonna make life more beautiful
I'm gonna make you make you feel fine

If we make tomorrow
we'll make it better every way
We'll keep on building
'cause we're living day to day

chorus

I couldn't love another woman
Lucy please stay

Baby baby
baby Lucy please oh won't you stay

I need you I need you
Please don't go please don't go
Lucy please please won't you stay

I want you to know that I love you
I love you
I'm gonna miss your sweet love
Lucy won't you stay

I need you, I need you.
Please don't go, please don't go.
Lucy, please, please, won't you stay?

I want you to know that I love you.
I love you.
I'm gonna miss your sweet love.
Lucy, won't you stay?

Bright light city's high
Maybe we're gonna fly
Get on the scene
King and Queen
Layin' To the music if you know what I mean

Downtown get around
Searchin' for a mean sound
Itchy feet
wanna dance to the beat
Layin' To the music if you know what I mean

Comin' on strong
won't be long
Reachin' out to where I belong


I'm in my stride
Good music to ride by
Horse riders in the sky

(repeat)

Drinkin' wine from a slipper shoe
Baby can we boogaloo
Move to the right
Slip in tight
Layin' to the music all night
Layin' to the music it's all right
Layin' to the music all night

I woke up in the morning
Heard a mockingbird sing
Was he laughing at me
I went to the basin washed the sleep out my eyes
So I could see

A note on the bed close to where my lover should be
She slipped away in the night
The writing was shaky and with tears on the sheets
I'm sorry we had a fight

So farewell sweet lover farewell
I'm sorry we never said goodbye
So farewell sweet lover farewell
Left with a tear in your eye

Must've been brewing for a very long time
In the wardrobe the hangers are bare
Don't know how you did it it must've been planned
You even took your favourite chair

So goodbye my lady goodbye
You won't find no tear in my eye
So goodbye my lady goodbye
Going out tonight to get high


Found myself at Charlies scene
Drinking all fashions
sticky painted movie queen
Winked her eye at me
That's how it happened
Diamond shoes satin dress
flashin' flashin' flashin' flashin'

Woke up in the morning heard my mockingbird sing
And it was singin' for me
The lady I met last night's here by my side
She's good company

Well hello sweet lady hello
Good morning with a smile
Well hello sweet lady hello
This lady's gonna make it alright
This lady's gonna make it alright
This lady's gonna make it alright

Lady lady
This lady's gonna make it alright x4
