Riding along on a carousel
Trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel
Will I catch up to you
Horses chasing 'cause they're racing
So near yet so far
On a carousel, on a carousel
Nearer, nearer by changing horses
Still so far away
People fighting for their places
Just get in the way
Soon you'll leave and then I'll lose you
Still we're going round
On a carousel, on a carousel
Round and round and round and round and round
And round and round and round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down too
As she leaves she drops the presents
That she won before
Pulling ducks out of the water
Got the highest score
Now's my chance and I must take it
A case of do-or-die
On a carousel, on a carousel
Round and round and round and round and round
And round and round and round with you
Up, down, up, down, up, down too
Riding along on a carousel
Trying to catch up to you
Riding along on a carousel
Will I catch up to you
Now we take our ride together
No more chasing her
On a carousel, on a carousel

STOP STOP STOP
The Hollies
See the girl with cymbals on her fingers entering through the door
Rubies glistening from her navel shimmering around the floor
Bells on feet go ting a ling a ling ing going through my head
Sweat is falling just like a tear drop running from her head
Now she's dancing, going through the movements, swaying to and fro
Body moving, bringing back a memory, thoughts of long ago
Blood is rushing, temperature is rising, sweating from my brow
Like a snake her body fascinates me, I can't look away now
CHORUS:
Stop stop stop all the dancing, give me time to breathe
Stop stop stop all the dancing or I'll have to leave
Now she's moving all around the tables luring all in sight
But I know that she cannot see me hidden by the light
Closer closer she is getting nearer, soon she'll be in reach
As I enter into her spotlight, she stands lost for speech.
Repeat chorus
Now I hold her, people are staring, don't know what to think
And we struggle. knocking over tables, spilling all the drinks
Can't they understand that I want her, happens every week
Heavy hand upon my collar throws me in the street
Repeat chorus.

Stop! In The Name Of Love
The Supremes
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Baby, baby
I'm aware of where you go
Each time you leave my door
I watch you walk down the street
Knowing your other love you'll meet
But this time before you run to her
Leaving me alone and hurt
(Think it over) After I've been good to you ?
(Think it over) After I've been sweet to you ?
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over
I've known of your
Your secluded nights
I've even seen her
Maybe once or twice
But is her sweet expression
Worth more than my love and affection ?
But this time before you leave my arms
And rush of to her charms
(Think it over) Haven't I been good to you ?
(Think it over) Haven't I been sweet to you ?
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over
I've tried so hard, hard to be patient
Hoping you'd stop this infatuation
But each time you are together
I'm so afraid I'll be losing you forever
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Baby, think it over
Think it over, baby
Ooh, think it over baby...

Pay You Back With Interest
The Hollies
(A. Clarke - T. Hicks - G. Nash)
Too many people need me
I've got so much
So much to do
But when my travelling is over
I'll pay you back with interest
I'll pay you back with interest
It seems unfair to leave you
And sell myself the way I do.
But when my wandering is over
I'll pay you back with interest
I'll pay you back with interest
Most of my life I've been moving
And when I tire out I'll come home to you.
But until then I'll be waiting
I'll pay you back with interest
I'll pay you back with interest
How cold is my room, (How cold is my room)
Without your love beside me?
We look at the same old moon (Looking at the moon)
But you're not here beside me
I'll pay you back with interest
I'll pay you back with interest
Verse 1

On A Carousel
The Hollies
(A. Clarke - T. Hicks - G. Nash)
Riding along on a carousel, trying to catch up to you.
Riding along on a carousel, will I catch up to you?
Horses chasing 'cause they're racing.
So they ain't so far.
On a carousel, on a carousel.
Nearer and nearer by changing horses, still so far away.
People fighting for their places just get in my way.
Soon you'll leave and then I'll lose you
Still we're going round.
On a carousel, on a carousel,
round and round and round and round
round and round and round and round with you.
Up, down, up, down, up, down, too.
As she leaves, she drops the presents that she won before.
Pulling ducks out of the water, got the highest score.
Now's my chance and I must take it, a case of do-or-die.
On a carousel, on a carousel,
round and round and round and round
round and round and round and round with you.
Up, down, up, down, up, down, too
Riding along on a carousel, trying to catch up to you.
Riding along on a carousel, will I catch up to you?
Now we take our ride together
No more chasing her.
On a carousel, on a carousel ...

THE AIR THAT I BREATHE
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 and tired
what more could I ask
there's nothing left, to be desired
peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
so sleep, silent angel
go to sleep........
Sometimes
all I need is the air that I breathe
and to love you
all I need is the air that I breathe
just to love you
all I need is the air that I breathe.......

LONG COOL WOMAN
The Hollies
(from the lyric sheet included with the UK pressing
of the "Distant Light" Album)
Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the F.B.I.
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 sing a song
A pair of 45s 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
I saw her heading to the table
Like a tall walking big black cat
When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy
'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at
Then suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
A-jumping out of doors and tables
When I heard somebody shooting a gun
Well the DA was pumping my left hand
And a-she was a-holding my right
Well I told her don't get scared
'Cause you're gonna be spared
I've gotta be forgiving if I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9 beautiful tall
Yeah, with just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
Had it all.....

Jennifer Eccles
The Hollies
(A. Clarke - T. Hicks - G. Nash)
White chalk, written on red brick.
Our love, told in a heart.
It's there, drawn in the playground.
Love, kiss, hate or adore.
I love Jennifer Eccles.
I know that she loves me.
I love Jennifer Eccles.
I know that she loves me.
La la la la la la la
la la la la la la.
La la la la la la la
la la la la la la.
I used to carry her satchels.
She used to walk by my side.
But when we got to her doorstep,
her dad wouldn't let me inside.
One Monday morning, found out I'd made the grade.
Started me thinking, had she done the same?
verse 2
verse 4
I hope Jennifer Eccles
is going to follow me there.
Our love is bound to continue.
Love, kiss, hate or adore. Singing,

verse 2

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother
-Written by B. Scott and B. Russell
-Peaked at #7 in 1970 as performed by the Hollies
-Peaked at #20 in 1970 as performed by Neil Diamond
-Peaked at #30 as the B-side to "Let It Shine"
in 1976 as performed by Olivia Newton-John
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows when
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother...
From: "David Hayman"

Carrie-Anne
The Hollies
(T. Hicks - A. Clarke - G. Nash)
Hey, Carrie-Anne.
Hey, Carrie-Anne.
When we were at school, our games were simple.
I played a janitor, you played a monitor.
Then you played with older boys and prefects.
What's the attraction in what they're doing?
Hey, Carrie-Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
Hey, Carrie-Anne, what's your game now?
Can anybody play?
You were always something special to me -
quite independent, never caring.
You lost your charm as you were aging.
Where is your magic disappearing?
chorus
You're so, so like a woman to me. (so lke a woman to me)
So, so like a woman to me. (like a woman to me)
chorus
People live and learn but you're still learning
You use my mind and I'll be your teacher.
When the lesson's over, you'll be with me.
Then I'll hear the other people saying.
chorus
Carrie-Anne, Carrie-Anne, Carrie-Anne.

BUS STOP
The Hollies
Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, 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 shopped and she would show me what she bought
Other 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
Thinkin' 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 shopped and she would show me what she bought
Other 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 goes, 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

Long Dark Road
The Hollies
(Tony Hicks - Kenny Lynch)
It's over, well over
In my mind and in my heart
It's over, well over
But then again, it didn't have a good start
You'd tell me, try to sell me
It could have been all I asked
It's over, well over
Yes, there it flows away a distant past
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
And you know I loved you
Yes, you know I loved you
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
And you know I loved you
Yes, you know I loved you
It's over, well over
And we can't revive what's passed
It's gone now, moved on now,
But then again, it didn't have a chance to last
(No, no, no, a chance to last)
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
