HERMANS'S HERMITS lyrics
DANDY (Ray Davies) Dandy, Dandy Where you gonna go now? Who you gonna run to? All your little life You're chasin' all the girls They can't resist your smile Uh-hmm, they long for Dandy, Dandy Chattin' up the ladies Ticklin' their fancy Pourin' out your charms To meet your own demands And you turn it off at will Huh-oh, they long for Dandy, Dandy Knockin' on the back door Climbin' through the window Hubby's gone away And while the cat's away The mice are gonna play Uh-hmm, you low-down Dandy, Dandy, Dandy Dandy, you know you're moving much too fast And Dandy, you know you can't escape the past Look around you and see the people settle down And when you're old and grey You will remember what they said That two girls are too many, Three's a crowd and four you're dead Oh Dandy, Dandy When you gonna give up? Are you feelin' old now? You always will be free And you need no sympathy A bachelor you will stay And Dandy you're all right You're all right You're all right EAST WEST (Graham Gouldman) East West over the ocean Perpetual motion, travelling around No rest, singing and playing Night out and day in, doing the rounds What a great life it must seem (what a great life it must seem) Swell joints, everything classy Nothing that's passé, only the best Lush girls ogling and eyeing Crying and sighing, this is success What a great life it must seem (what a great life it must seem) But when I hear young voices singing out The bells at home come ringing out When I think all alone When I think of my home Mom, Dad all round the fire In festive attire, keeping the day Aunts, kids, all the relations Congratulations, this is success What a great life it must seem (what a great life it must seem) But when I hear young voices singin' out The bells at home come ringing out When I feel all alone Then I long for my home END OF THE WORLD (Kent/Dee) Why does the sun go on shining Why does the sea rush to shore Don't they know it's the end of the world When you don't love me anymore Why does my heart go on beating Why do these eyes of mine cry Don't they know it's the end of the world It ended when you said goodbye I wake up in the morning and I wonder Why everything's the same as it was And I can't understand, no I can't understand Why life goes on the way it does Why do the birds go on singing Why do the stars shine above Don't they know it's the end of the world It ended when I lost your love ------ lead guitar ------ Don't they know it's the end of the world It ended when you said goodbye I'M HENRY THE VIII, I AM (Murray/Weston) I'm Henry the eighth I am Henry the eighth I am, I am I got married to the widow next door She's been married seven times before And every one was an Henry (Henry) She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam (no Sam) I'm her eighth old man, I'm Henry Henry the eighth I am Second verse same as the first I'm Henry the eighth I am Henry the eighth I am, I am I got married to the widow next door She's been married seven times before And every one was an Henry (Henry) She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam (no Sam) I'm her eighth old man, I'm Henry ------ lead guitar ------ I'm Henry the eighth I am Henry the eighth I am, I am I got married to the widow next door She's been married seven times before And every one was an Henry (Henry) She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam (no Sam) I'm her eighth old man, I'm Henry Henry the eighth I am H-E-N-R-Y Henry (Henry) Henry (Henry) Henry the eighth I am, I am Henry the eighth I am Yeah!

BROWN YOU'VE GOT A LOVELY DAUGHTER (Trevor Peacock) Mrs. Brown you've got a lovely daughter Girls as sharp as her are somethin' 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) 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 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) 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 Mrs. Brown you've got a lovely daughter (lovely daughter) Mrs. Brown you've got a lovely daughter (lovely daughter) Mrs. Brown you've got a lovely daughter (lovely daughter) Mrs. Brown you've got a lovely daughter (lovely daughter) A MUST TO AVOID (Sloan/Barri) 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 But take my advice, 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 There's no way to see 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 But lots of other guys have 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 NO MILK TODAY (Graham Gouldman) 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 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, 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 a 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 Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house in a mean street back of town Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely A terraced house in a mean street back of town SILHOUETTES (Slay/Crewe) Took a walk and passed your house late last night All the shades were pulled and drawn way down tight From within, the dim light cast two silhouettes on the shade Oh what a lovely couple they made Put his arms around your waist, held you tight Kisses I could almost taste in the night Wondered why I'm not the guy who's silhouette's on the shade I couldn't hide the tears in my eyes Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah... Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah... ------ lead guitar ------ Lost control and rang your bell, I was sore Let me in or else I'll beat down your door When two strangers who have been two silhouettes on the shade Said to myself "you're on the wrong block" Rushed out to your house with wings on my feet Loved you like I'd never loved you my sweet Vowed that you and I would be two silhouettes on the shade All of our days, two silhouettes on the shade Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah... Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah... I'M INTO SOMETHING GOOD (Gerry Goffin / Carole King) Woke up this mornin' feelin' fine There's somethin' special on my mind Last night I met a new girl in the neighbourhood, whoa yeah Somethin' tells me I'm into something good (Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin') 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) Somethin' tells me I'm into something good (Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin') 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 everthing I've been dreamin' of She's everthing 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) Somethin' tells me I'm into something good (Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin') (Somethin' tells me I'm into somethin', 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) Somethin' tells me I'm into something good (somethin' tells me I'm into somethin') Somethin' tells me I'm into something good (somethin' tells me I'm into somethin') To something good, oh yeah, something good (somethin' tells me I'm into somethin') To something good, something good, something good THIS DOOR SWINGS BOTH WAYS (Thomas/Levitt) Everyones life is bittersweet It's a door that opens wide And no man can call himself complete Till he's seen it from both sides This door swings both ways It's marked 'In' and 'Out' Some days you'll want to cry And some days you will shout This door swings both ways It goes back and forth In comes a southern breeze Or a cold wind from the north This door swings both ways Lets in joy and pain In comes the morning sun And then the evening rain This door swings both ways Lets in dark and light Every day you make the choice To let in wrong or right When shadows fall You must prepare yourself for sunshine For everything there is an end And so my friend you must be brave This door swings both ways Which one will it be Will we live in happiness Or dwell in misery This door swings both ways Lets in earth and sky Make the most of livin' If you're not prepared to die Make the most of livin' If you're not prepared to die WHAT IS WRONG WHAT IS RIGHT (Leckenby-Lisberg-Hopwood) She's stroking her cat with her silken fingers A would-be charmer whose life's incomplete I'm working so hard to try and get to know her Her parents say who she sees and who she meets Always on her own Walking through the city Doesn't want to know If anyone should try to pick her up She'll put them down She only drinks at the dining table She's not allowed to stay up late at night Her only joy is the riding stable Her parents say what is wrong and what is right Always on her own Walking through the city Doesn't want to know If anyone should try to pick her up She'll put them down The day will come when she'll see the time she's wasted She's twenty-one and without their guiding light There's so many things that she's never tasted Who'll be there to say what is wrong and what is right (WHAT A) WONDERFUL WORLD (Cooke/Alpert/Adler) Don't know much about history Don't know much biology Don't know much about science books Don't know much about the french I took But I do know that I love you And I know that if you loved me too What a wonderful world this would be Don't know much about geography Don't know much trigonometry Don't know much about algebra Don't know what a slide rule is for But I know that one and one is two And if this one could be with you What a wonderful world this would be Now I don't claim to be an A student But I'm tryin' to be Oh maybe by being an A student, baby I can win your love for me Don't know much about history Don't know much biology Don't know much about science books Don't know much about the french I took But I do know that I love you And I know that if you loved me too What a wonderful world this would be ------ lead guitar ------ But I do know that I love you And I know that if you loved me too What a wonderful world this would be I'LL NEVER DANCE AGAIN (Mann/Anthony) My

SLEEPLY JOE (Carter / Alquist) Sleepy Joe Sleepy Joe Rise and shine, sleepy Joe Now´s the time, don´t you know To get into a new kind of dream You´ve been living alone With no Bell telephone And you don´t have a shirt that is clean You can rest your head On the corner of your bed You can watch the world go by But you never gonna see What the other people see If you´re always gonna be a sleepy joe. Rise and shine, sleepy Joe There are places to go There are windows to clean on the way You´ve got nothing to loose, But the shine on your shoes Do the best things you can every day.

Stephens / J.Carter) On the floor, the people dancing round Moving close together But there over low 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. And if the time is right Maybe I´ll held 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 for ever 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 The love we had was just beyond compare. And if the time is right Maybe I´ll held her tight My sentimental friend over there. Oh 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. And if the time is right Maybe I´ll held her tight My sentimental friend over there. So won´t you please play a song A sentimental song For my sentimental friend over there... HERE COMES THE STAR (Young) 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 Here comes the star, What he´d give is 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 Here comes the star, What he´d give is that girl would come And share his loneliness. Now the stage is back But you´re not there I give it all the way Just to hear you say I love you He 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.. YEARS MAY COME, YEARS MAY GO (Popp/Fishman) Let´s take a look behind And see what we can find Last year has gone for everyone Past with time.

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 power ring 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

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 Watched by 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 OH YOU PRETTY THINGS Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Let me make it plain You gotta make way for the Homo Superior Wake up you sleepy heads Put on some clothes shake up your beds Put another log on the fire for me I need some breakfast and coffee I look out my window and what do I see A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me All the strangers came today And it looks as though they're here to stay What are we coming to There's no room for me no fun for you I think about a world to come Where the books were found by the golden one Written in pain, written in awe By the puzzled man who questioned what we were here for All the strangers came today And it looks as though they're here to stay Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Let me make it plain You gotta make way for the Homo Superior Look at your children Their faces in golden rays Don't kid yourself they belong to you They're the start of the coming race The earth is a beast we've finished our news Homo sapiens have outgrown their use All the strangers came today And it looks as though they're here to stay Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Let me make it plain You gotta make way for the Homo Superior Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane Oh you pretty things Don't you know you're

there A little girl who must have lost her way The night was clear and I could see the tears Welled up in her eyes She didn't say a word She just kept starin' at the sky I asked her why she was so sad And did my best to make her laugh And when she finally spoke Her words took me by surprise She said The angels are cryin' in heaven tonight Their hearts are so heavy They've got tears in their eyes The angels are cryin' in heaven tonight Cuz they can't understand why We can't find the light She said they cry for all the lies We live with every day And for all the children Sleepin' in the rain For the noble dreams that somehow seem To always be in vain And for the gentle hearts who still believe In the miracle of faith It seems so strange that a little girl Could know so much about a troubled world But now I see she had to be An angel in disguise And The angels are cryin' in heaven tonight Their hearts are so heavy They've got tears in their eyes The angels are cryin' in heaven tonight Cuz they can't understand why We can't find the light And The angels are cryin' in heaven tonight Their hearts are so heavy They've got tears in their eyes The angels are cryin' in heaven tonight Cuz they can't understand why We can't find the light (I GOTTA) DREAM ON (Gordon) Your pretty face came into view And then what could I do?
