Herman's Hermits

She's a must to avoid
A complete impossibility
She's a must to avoid
Better take it from me

You'll think she's a prize at the start (Prize at the start)
But take my advice, play it smart (Just play it smart)
She's nothin' but trouble
Better cut out on the double
Before she gets into your heart

She's a must to avoid
A complete impossibility
She's a must to avoid
Better take it from me

When you stare into her pretty blue eyes (Into her eyes)
There's no way to see through her disguise (Through her disguise)
But don't try to love her, 'cause you'll quickly discover
You're trapped in the web of her lies

She's a must to avoid
A complete impossibility
She's a must to avoid
Better take it from me

Her lips look inviting, it's true (Oh, yes, that's true)
But lots of other guys have felt like you do (Felt like you do)
She'll build up your hopes, and when you need her the most
That's when she'll say goodbye to you

She's a must to avoid
A complete impossibility
She's a must to avoid
Better take it from me

I leave the house every morning at eight
And I work pretty hard for the money I made
But it's clear to see - You don't appreciate
All the things, that I did for You, baby

Well, You want some of these, or You want some of those
The more money I make, the faster it goes
And You don't say - thanks for those new pretty clothes
And all the things I do for You, baby

Why can't You see
Just what You're doing to me
Baby, it's true -
All what I'm doing
I'm doing for You

Maybe You think 'cos I work with my hands
That I'm not as smart as some of the men
But I pray every night, that You'll understand -
All the things I do for You, baby

Why can't You see
Just what You're doing to me
Baby, it's true -
All what I'm doing
I'm doing for You

When I'm in need of somebody to hold
One caress when I'm feeling cold
You can't afford to tell me no
With all the things I do for You, baby
With all the things I do for You, baby

Graham Gouldman

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stops, bus goes, we stay, 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 shop and she would show me what she bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
One day 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 shop and she would show me what she bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
One day my name and hers are going to be the same

Came the sun the ice was melting
No more sheltering now
Nice to think that that umbrella
Led me to a vow

I hear You say anytime at all
I hear You say any time you call, I'll be there
You made me feel so happy
I'll pick You up, don't let me down

You've been seen with someone else in town
Could this mean You're playing me around all the time
I call You up - no answer
But You're at home - I see the light

I can see, You're slipping away from me
Don't You see, I want You to stay and love me
You're above me

Dial your number - never can get through
Outside phone booth people in a queue in the rain
They're banging on the window
I got to try once more tonight

I can see, You're slipping away from me
Don't You see, I want You to stay and love me
You're above me

Every time I see you lookin' my way
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
In the car or walkin' down the highway
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?

When you move up closer to me
I get a feeling that's ooo-wee

Can't you hear the poundin' of my heartbeat?
'Cause you're the one I love
You're the one I love

When I feel you put your arms around me
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
Then I'm glad, I'm mighty glad I found you
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?

When you asked me to meet your ma
I knew that baby, we'd be going far

Can't you hear the pounding of my heartbeat?
'Cause you're the one I love
You're the one I love

All my friends are cryin' out to meet you
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
Now's the time to go and see the preacher
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?

Wedding bells are gonna chime
Baby, baby, you're gonna be mine

Can't you hear the pounding of my heartbeat?
'Cause you're the one I love
You're the one I love

Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?
Baby, baby, can't you hear my heartbeat?

I’ve been hurt by love
Too many times
Not to know the signs of breaking up
When they have been

Don’t try to hurt me
Don’t try to harm me
Don’t try to hurt me
Or You pay

‘Cos You know I get magic or bad
And when I get mad
You know I do things
I really shouldn’t do

I’ve told You once before
And I’ll tell You once again:
Don’t try to hurt me, or You pay

I’ve told You first time ? easy girl
But that was almost second time
But there won’t be forgive

Don’t try to hurt me
Don’t try to harm me
Don’t try to hurt me
Or You pay

‘Cos You know I get magic or bad
And when I get mad
You know I do things
I really shouldn’t do

I’ve told You once before
And I’ll tell You once again:
Don’t try to hurt me
Don’t try to harm me
Don’t try to hurt me
Or You pay

Deep down inside of night
Therec￡o a basic feeling of appetite for love
The shadows fall, the moon comes out
And night owls crawl the streets no doubt, for love
(x2):
Donc￡? be fooled by her love
You can never win
You can buy her everything
And she will blow it in
Influential people went
Their Swedish cars are just in trend for love
A girl walks by across the street
The headlights flash and then they meet for love
Yeah, they meet for love
They meet for love
Yes, for love

There's a place on the edge of town
Where the kids all hang around
Cobbled streets and terraced houses
Window boxes all around
It's never changed in sixty years
And it's tumbling down
It's never really know by name
It's called Gaslight Street
Gaslight Street

In the evening when the sun goes down
And there ain't nobody else around
The lamp lighter walks down the street
Illumination, indiscreet
It doesn't have much effect it seems
He's wasting his time
The lamp light don't shine so bright
On Gaslight Street
Gaslight Street

Every night at nine
There's children playing around the street
Trying to dodge their parents
When they call them in to go to sleep

Monday morning and as a rule
The place is quiet they're all at school
Lines of washing hang across the street
A weary policeman walks his beat
It's never changed in sixty years
And it's tumbling down
It's never really known by name
It's called Gaslight Street
Gaslight Street

Got a feelin' about you
Got a feelin' that won't quit, baby
Got a feelin' about you
Somethin' sayin' this is it, baby
Just hear my heart double beat
And it scares me too
I walk down the street
Every face is you
Yes, it's you

Got a feelin' I'm fallin'
Got a feelin' I'm too far gone now
Got me reelin' and callin'
Listen baby, we must go on now
I'll stick with you
I'll stick like glue until you
Got a feelin' all about me too

Got a feelin' I'm fallin'
Got a feelin' I'm too far gone now
Got me reelin' and callin'
Listen baby, we must go on now
I'll stick with you
I'll stick like glue until you
Got a feelin' all about me too

Got a feelin' all about me too
Got a feelin' all about me too

I gotta get away, I gotta get away
I want to leave this world behind
To find some peace of mind
I gotta get away.

I can't stand the pace, all the human race
Don't wanna be nobody slave and find an early grave
I gotta get away.

Please, in anybody ………
All I made just isn't half enough.

I gotta make some tracks, no looking back
I gonna found a brand new town and change my name to Brown
I gotta get away.

Please, in anybody ………
All I made just isn't half enough.

I gotta make some tracks, no looking back
I gonna found a brand new town and change my name to Brown
I gotta get away
I gotta get away
Get out of here
I want to disappear

If youc￡?e got a pack of trouble
Waying on your worried mind
If you tend to see things double
And you canc￡? turn wind
Take a trip to green street green
Get yourself a little scene
Everything is kind of groovy
Down at green street green.

Situated north of Nancy
Just a little east of west
People there do what they fancy
Dressed in fancy dress.
So take a trip to green street green
And get yourself a little scene
Everything is kind of groovy
Down at green street green.

Therec￡? a man with a band under the trees
Giving out the greatest sound
While the birds and the bees everywhere
Go buzz- buzz- buzzing around

So on a met to be an evening
Hustled up for one way fare
Organise your time of leaving
A bus will take you there
All the way to green street green
And get yourself a little scene
Everything is kind of groovy
Down at green street green.
Everything is kind of groovy
Down at green street green.

Heartbeat - why do you miss when my baby kisses me
heartbeat - why does a love kiss stay in my memory

Piddle dee pat - I know that new love thrills me
I know that true love will be

Heartbeat - why do you miss when my baby kisses me

Heartbeat - why do you skip when my baby's lips meet mine
heartbeat - why do you flip then give me a skip beat sign

Piddle dee pat - and sing to me love stories
and bring to me love’s glories

Heartbeat - why do you miss when my baby kisses me

Heartbeat - why do you miss when my baby kisses me
heartbeat - why does a love kiss stay in my memory

Piddle dee pat - I know that new love thrills me

heartbeat - why do you flip then give me a skip beat sign

Piddle dee pat - and sing to me love stories

Heartbeat - why do you miss when my baby kisses me

Look at me now
I'm the loneliest guy in the world
People say he's a star
And he's sure to go far
Ain't he pretty?
Look at me now
Do they know for the love of that girl?
I would give all I have
For a moment of love, saying

Here comes a star
He's the idol of all the world, step aside
Here comes the star
What he'd give if that girl would come
And share his loneliness

There was a time
We would wander down love's avenue
Sharing moments together
That should last forever
Then came the time
Saw my neighbour blue ice
And you knew
There'll be no time together
Now you're gone, still they say

Here comes the star
He's the idol of all the world, step aside
Here comes the star
What he'd give if that girl would come
And share his loneliness

Now the stage is back
Knowing you're not there
I give it all the way
Just to hear you say
I love you

Here comes the star
He's the idol of all the world
Here comes the star
What he'd give if that girl would come

Here comes the star
He's the idol of all the world
Here comes the star
What he'd give if that girl would come

Here comes the star
He's the idol of all the world

I don't need her
Don't need her kind of heartache and pain
She's gonna have to see
Things now can never be the same again

I won't miss her
Well, maybe I'll miss her once in a while
She thinks I'm gonna die
Now that she's said goodbye
But she's so wrong
Her eyes just smile

Baby baby, don't you believe it?
When it comes to your lovin', I can take it or leave it
Baby baby, don't you believe it?
When it comes to your lovin', I can take it or leave it
I can take or leave your lovin'
I can take or leave your lovin'

I'm not sorry
I still think we're better apart
She says she's gonna see
A day when there's gonna be a change of heart

Baby baby, don't you believe it?
When it comes to your lovin', I can take it or leave it
Baby baby, don't you believe it?
When it comes to your lovin', I can take it or leave it
I can take or leave your lovin'
I can take or leave your lovin'

I don't need her
Don't need her kind of heartache and pain
She's gonna have to see
Things now can never be the same again

I won't miss her
Well, maybe I'll miss her once in a while

Baby baby, don't you believe it?
When it comes to your lovin', I can take it or leave it
I can take or leave your lovin'

Your pretty face came into view
And then what could I do? My dream began again
So here I go into a world where I can
Dream on, just thinkin' of you
I gotta dream on; that's all I can do

Now that you know how I feel for you
It just goes to show I'll be true to you
So here I go into a world where I can

You gotta hold your hands across the sky
Tread the stairway through the stars
Into your arms, into your arms

Your pretty face came into view...

Holding your hand in mine, whispering your name
I know deep in my heart, I'll always feel the same
You are everything to me, everything you'll always be
That's the way it's gonna be, I know why

I understand just how you feel
Your love for me, why not reveal?
It's over now but it was grand
I understand, I understand

If you ever change your mind
Come back to me and you will find
Me waiting there, at your command
I understand, I understand

I miss you so,
please believe me when I tell you
I just can't stand to see you go
You know

If you ever change your mind
Come back to me and you will find
Me waiting there, at your command
I understand, I understand

"I understand just how you feel.
Let bygones be bygones.
But always remember I love you,
I love you, I love you."

We'll sip a cup of wine, my dear,
for Auld Lang Syne
I understand

Woke up this morning feelin' fine
There's something special on my mind
Last night I met a new girl in the neighborhood, whoa yeah
Something tells me I'm into something good
(Something tells me I'm into something)

She's the kind of girl who's not too shy
And I can tell I'm her kind of guy
She danced close to me like I hoped she would
(She danced with me like I hoped she would)
Something tells me I'm into something good
(Something tells me I'm into something)

We only danced for a minute or two
But then she stuck close to me the whole night through
Can I be fallin' in love?
(She's everything I've been dreamin' of)
She's everything I've been dreamin' of

I walked her home and she held my hand
I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could
(I asked to see her and she told me I could)
Something tells me I'm into something good
(Something tells me I'm into something)
(Something tells me I'm into something, ahhh)

I walked her home and she held my hand
I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see her next week and she told me I could
(I asked to see her and she told me I could)
Something tells me I'm into something good
(Something tells me I'm into something)
Something tells me I'm into something good
(Something tells me I'm into something)
To something good, oh yeah, something good
(Something tells me I'm into something)
To something good, something good, something good

If ever a devil was born
without a pair of horns it was you
Jezebel it was you
if ever a pair of eyes promised paradise
it was you
Jezebel it was you
if ever a devil's plan was made to torment man,
it was you
decieving me, grieving me, leaving me blue
Jezebel it was you
if ever a devil was born
without a pair of horns it was you
Jezebel it was you
if ever a pair of eyes promised paradise
it was you
Jezebel it was you
if ever a devil's plan was made to torment man,
decieving me, grieving me, leaving me blue,
Jezebel it was you
even had I never known a lover such as you
forsaking dreams and goals
for the silent scorn of your charms
Jezebel
if ever a devil's plan was made to torment man
decieving me, grieving me, leaving me blue
Jezebel it was you
night and day
every way
oh Jezebel
Jezebel

Kansas City, Kansas City here I come
Kansas City, Kansas City here I come
Got some pretty little women there
I'm gonna get me one

Standing on the corner
Twelfth Street and Vine
Standing on the corner
Twelfth Street and Vine
With my Kansas City baby
Now buying Kansas City wine

Well I might take a plane
Might take a train
If I have to walk I will
Get there just the same
Oh, Kansas City, Kansas City here I come
Crazy little women there
I'm gonna get me one

Kansas City, Kansas City here I come
Kansas City, Kansas City here I come
Got some pretty little women there
I'm gonna get me one

You've walked out on the in crowd
with a girl that you've just met
for a little late night livin' on your own
and you want to dance till morning with
this piece of fairer sex
and she says it's late and wants to head for home
and it's all part of the last bus home
in a gigantic green house where the late night buses stop
you'll be waiting for another half an hour
with a man dressed in a raincoat
with a piece of string around
and a man whose dressed in mohair claims his car has broken down
and it's all part of the last bust home
for a moment you must swallow your pride
reach in your pocket for the money for your ride
widespread a thousand eyes
this girl you've met tonight won't even steal a kiss
with a rocking, jogging motion you're about to take a ride
on a public corporation's road domain
with the silver rails surrounding
and the smoke that fills the air
and a weary bus conductor climbs the stairs
and it's all part of the last bus
all part of the last bus home

Listen people to what I say
I say everybody's got to have their day

And don't you know that
Everybody's got to love somebody sometime
Everybody's got to win a heart
Everybody's got to love somebody sometime
When you do, I hope you never part

I once found love, found love just like you
But then he came, he might come to you

And don't you know that
Everybody's got to lose somebody sometime
But everybody can part
Everybody's got to lose somebody sometime
So take care that you don't lose your heart

Take my advice and you'll always find
You'll be happy all of the time
Take my advice and you will see
You'll be happy as you can be

Listen people to what I say
I say everybody's got to have their day

And don't you know that
Everybody's got to love somebody sometime
Everybody's got to win a heart
Everybody's got to love somebody sometime
When you do, I hope you never part
You never part
Listen people
Listen people

Little Boy Sad

Sing to me bring to me
Every sweet thing to me sunshine
Run away laugh and play
Talk away hours with me
Toy bells pretty tunes
Sun and moon shine through my window
Magic sound turn around
Spinning down onto me

Oh little miss sorrow
Oh child of tomorrow
Won't you follow me
Oh little miss sorrow
Oh child of tomorrow
Won't you follow me

Red color blue color
You gave a new color to me
Lacquer and purple
And almost a deep shade of blue
Don't you cry breathe a sigh
Look and I'm just round your corner
Wait and then count to ten
Be my friend I'll be yours too

Oh little miss sorrow
Oh child of tomorrow
Won't you follow me
Oh little miss sorrow
Oh child of tomorrow
Won't you follow me
Oh little miss sorrow
Oh child of tomorrow
Won't you follow me

I wanna go, where You go
In the sun in the snow
Make me happy

Let me share, what You share
Every smile, every care
Make me happy

Give me the right
To feel each day and night
With love, that's forever
Love, that will never fade out of sight

Don't make me beg
Make me plead
To be everything You need
Make me happy
Make me happy
Make me happy

Give me the right
To feel each day and night
With love, that's forever
Love, that will never fade out of sight

Don't make me bag
Make me plead
To be everything You need
Make me happy
Make me happy
Make me happy

Marcel lives in Wapping, the ducks are due his tapping
Marcel's got a houseboat on the Thames
There's grotesque decorations, eccentric demonstrations
Let's go down to Marcel's on the Thames

CHORUS:
Knock knock, sesame it's open, it's Alice in Wonderland
Marcel, Marcel
Can we come around, can we see you right away?
Can we come around? It's such a groovy day
Marcel, Marcel

Meet the oddest creatures with unfamiliar features
Greeks & Turks with clerks & lemon tyne
Men with long eyelashes & ladies with mustaches
On Marcel's creaking house, it's on the Thames

(chorus)

Gusters work for giving, the panda men are livin'
(repeat & fade):
Let's go down to Marcel's on the Thames

Moonshine, shadows, homemade wine
sleepy time moon dreams, and blue beams and new skemes

Mrs. Brown, you've got a lovely daughter
Girls as sharp as her are something rare
But it's sad, she doesn't love me now
She's made it clear enough, it ain't no good to pine

She wants to return those things I bought her
Tell her she can keep them just the same
Things have changed, she doesn't love me now
She's made it clear enough, it ain't no good to pine

Walkin' about
Even in a crowd, well
You'll pick her out
Makes a bloke feel so proud

If she finds that I've been 'round to see you ('round to see you)
Tell her that I'm well and feelin' fine (feelin' fine, ooh)
Don't let on, don't say she's broke my heart
I'd go down on my knees but it's no good to pine

I drink sweet wine for breakfast
I slept but an hour or so
I smiled a little in the silence
Deciding on where to go

"Meet me under the whale
At the natural history museum"
I think that's what she said
A little bit sad about having to leave them

Yawning in the sun
It's like a child I run

Don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that
Now don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that

So little do you think of beauty
Isn't it a shame, what-ho
Maybe you should go get your parents
And make all your troubles go

There she stood in drag
Looking cool in astrakhan
She's lookin' a little wiped out
She said I looked like Peter Pan

And yawning in the sun
It's like a child I run

Don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that
Now don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that

Now don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that
Now don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that

I've got a pal, a regular out an' outer.
She's a dear old gal, an' I'll tell you all about 'er;
It's forty years since fust we met,
Her hair was then as black as jet.
It's whiter now, but she don't fret
Not my old gal.

We've been together now for forty years
An' it don't seem a day too much.
There ain't a lady living in the land
As I'd swap for me dear old Dutch.
No, there ain't a lady living in the land
As I'd swap for me dear old Dutch.

(Hopwood/Leckenby/Silverman)

Speed this locomotive on the railroad line
and tell the driver man that I ain't got much time
there's a little lady waitin' down the track
I'm on my way to meet her and I'm not turning back
so hurry on mister, I just learned
my reservation's been confirmed
I ain't go no sleeping car or paid first rate
I'm picking at a chicken in the third class rate
don't misunderstand me 'cause I paid my fair

so hurry on mister, I just learned
my reservation's been confirmed
speed on, speed on, speed on, speed on,
hey, hurry on mister, I just learned
my reservation's been confirmed
don't send back no stations
I don't need no beer
and pass on my instructions to the engineer
no more interruptions till I reach Lucille
just get this engine moving
don't you let it de-rail
so hurry on mister, I just learned
my reservation's been confirmed
speed on, speed on, speed on, speed on
hey, hurry on mister, I just learned
my reservation's been confirmed

On the floor, the people dance around
Moving close together
But there all alone in the corner
There's the girl I once knew
Who broke me in two

So won't you please play a song
A sentimental song
For my sentimental friend over there?
We've been so long apart
Make it go right to the heart
Of my sentimental friend over there

Bring the tears to her eyes
Help to make her realize
The love we had was just beyond compare
Then if the time is right
Maybe I'll hold her tight
My sentimental friend over there

I recall the way she used to feel
When we heard a sad song
The teardrops would fall
And she'd hold me
And tell me
She'd be forever with me

So won't you please play a song
A sentimental song
For my sentimental friend over there?
We've been so long apart
Make it go right to the heart
Of my sentimental friend over there

Bring the tears to her eyes
Help to make her realize

Then if the time is right

My sentimental friend over there

Make it go right to the heart

No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why

How could they know just what this message means?
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know the palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen

No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day

But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up two down

No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
As music played the faster did we dance
We felt it both at once, the start of our romance

How could they know just what this message means?
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen

No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn

A terraced house in a mean street back of town

Oh, all that's left is a place dark and lonely
