Confessions of the Mind by The Hollies - Album Lyrics & Tracks

2 ContributorsSurvival of the Fittest LyricsGive her a hand 'cos she gave a good show

Her makeup was right for the occasion

She did what she had to do, she said what she had to say

She played her part to perfection

 

She's so empty inside, lies to herself and the public

She's so empty inside, lies to herself and the public

Acclaim's not the same

Such a shame

 

The star of the show, she was true to herself

And everything went as reported

Rumours about herself came along

That's when it all got distorted

 

She's so empty inside, lies to herself and the public

She's so empty inside, lies to herself and the public

Acclaim's not the same

Such a shame

 

What a good show she gave

Happy to go on the stage

Was she to know it would change

Can she go on feeling strange

 

She's so empty inside, lies to herself and the public

She's so empty inside, lies to herself and the public

Acclaim's not the same

Such a shame

2 ContributorsLady Please LyricsWell there's them that do and them that don't

Them that will and them that won't

I've been trying to get you for a long time

For a long time

 

When our eyes meet at each different place

How I got to know your face

Think that I have loved you for a long time

For a long time

 

Lady please I'm not a man of many words you see

If you lie with me, you won't sleep

Lady please if in the future there's some other man

I will understand and I won't weep

 

As our bodies fill my lonely room

A room that once was filled with gloom

Know that I will love you for a long time

For a long time

For a long time

 

Lady please I'm not a man of many words you see

If you lie with me, you won't sleep

Lady please if in the future there's some other man

I will understand and I won't weep

 

 

As the morning sun lights up our bed

You are there to stroke my head

Know I'm going to love you for a long time

For a long time

 

Lady please

Lady please

Lady please

2 ContributorsIsn’t It Nice LyricsIsn't it nice to be someone

Someone you've dreamed that you are

Isn't it such a nice feeling

The feeling you've wished upon a star

 

You have slipped down a rainbow

Discovered your own pot of gold

You are living your wildest dream

Use them you'll never grow old

 

Just like Cinderella

But your clock will never strike twelve

You have something to envy

That everyone wants for themselves

 

You have slipped down a rainbow

Discovered your own pot of gold

Chasing moonbeams and catching the wind

And living stories you've been told

 

You have slipped down a rainbow

Discovered your own pot of gold

You are living your wildest dream

Use them you'll never grow old

 

Isn't it nice to be somewhere

In places you've dreamed that you've seen

Isn't it such a nice feeling

Being where you've never been

 

 

Isn't it nice to be someone

Someone you've dreamed that you are

Isn't it such a nice feeling

The feeling you've wished upon a star

2 ContributorsDandelion Wine LyricsStoned all the time on dandelion wine

What else can I do

I've been this way everyday

Now that we're through

 

Do I love you

You can bet your life that I do-do-do

Do I love you

I would drink my wine from your sh-sh-shoe

 

Stoned all the time on dandelion wine

It's all down to on you

I've been this way everyday

Thinking of you

 

Do I love you

You can bet your life that I do-do-do

Do I love you

I would drink my wine from your sh-sh-shoe

 

Do I love you

You can bet your life that I do-do-do

Do I love you

I would drink my wine from your sh-sh-shoe

 

Stoned all the time on dandelion wine

What else can I do

I've been this way everyday

Now that we're through

 

 

Stoned all the time on dandelion wine

What else can I do

I've been this way everyday

Now that we're through

2 ContributorsMad Professor Blyth LyricsMad Professor Blyth is working on his pet invention

To dematerialise himself into the fourth dimension

He's got his mind set on illusion

To find the secrets of diffusion

Conclusion: he disappeared

 

Tried it on his cat one grey night when it was foggy

Never got it back Oh what happened to his Moggy

He's got his mind set on illusion

To find the secrets of diffusion

Conclusion: he's disappeared

 

All the kids around about his neighbourhood

Used to laugh at him and call him names

Silly old bat freaky four-eyes

 

Sort of things they used to shout

He can't hear them now

 

He's disappeared

 

Colleagues at the lab

They all thought that he was crazy

Don't know where he's at

His formulas to them are hazy

 

 

He had his mind set on illusion

He found the secrets of diffusion

Conclusion: he's disappeared
