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 »

I press my nose against the pane 
Of the little toffee shop 
Day after day I save my pennies 
To spend at the toffee shop 

Come Saturday morn at nine o`clock 
I stand on the cold stone street 
A penny every day that I have saved 
To buy myself some sweets 

The nice little lady old and grey 
With glasses and shawl 
Gives love away to good little boys 
Who do as they are told 

She`s always telling stories 
Of her childhood days 
She couldn't buy the things that I can 
For families in those days 

Imagine the sweets that I can buy 
With six pennies of my own 
I always take my time to choose 
The sweets that I`ll be taking home 

Gobstoppers in my pockets 
Brown sugar in my hand 
Lollies you suck that last all day 
And sugar that looks like sand
