Delaware Taggett and the Outlaw Boys

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 »

Young girls and porches are filling out 
Tempers and torches are burning 
Brown is the color of town 
Living in thunder 

Hair on my top lip now I'm a man 
I so often hear and feel it 
Nice paying the price for being kept under 

Mama says don't hang around that front gate too long 
Boys like you who stay too late are surely gonna go so wrong 
But Mama there's safety in numbers 
It's the first time I've ever felt strong 
Delaware Taggett and the Outlaw Boys 
Adding a laugh to the Broadway noise 
Slipping your mind where your mind don't want to go 

Off-duty porters lay sleeping wives 
On-duty daughters are finding 
Why just touching a boy gives a thrill like a shiver 

Whispers and shadows are moving fast 
No prizes given to people 
Last drowned in the past down on the river
