The Hollies - Bus Stop
Bus Stop
wet day
she's there
I say:
Please share my umbrella.
Bus comes
bus goes
she stays
love grows
Under my umbrella.
AII that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine.
That umbrella we employed it
By August she was mine.
E'very morning I would see her
Waiting at the stop.
Sometimes she'd shop
And she would show me what she'd bought.
Other people stared
As if we were both quite insane.
Some day my name
And hers are going to be the same.
That's the way the whole thing started.
Silly
but it's true
Thinking of a sweet romance
Beginning in that queue.
Came the sun
the ice was melting
No more shelt'ring now.
Nice to think that that umbrella
Led me to a vow.

The Hollies - Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)
Saturday night I was down town
working for the F.B.I.
sitting in a nest of bad men
iskey bottles piling high
boot legging boozer on the west side
full of people who are doing wrong
just about to call up the D.A. man
when I heard this woman singing a song.
A pair of forty fives made me open my eyes
my temperature started to rise
she was a long cool woman in a black dress
just a five nine
beautiful
tall
with just one look I was a bad mess
'cos that long cool woman had it all.
Saw her heading to the table
well a tall walking big black cat
when Charlie said "I hope that you're able
boy"
well
I'm telling you she knows where it's at
well suddenly we heard a siren
and ev'rybody started to run
a jumping out of doors and tables
well I heard somebody shooting a gun.
Well the D.A. was pumping my left hand
and a she a holding my right
and I told her don't get scared
'cos you're gonna be spared
and I gotta be popular now
if I wanna spend my living with
a long cool woman in a black dress
just a five nine
beautiful
tall
with just one look I was a bad mess
'cos that long cool woman had it all
had it all
had it all
had it all.
