The Hollies

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop Sometimes she'd shop and she would show me what she bought All the people stared as if we were both quite insane Someday my name and hers are going to be the same Ill try to be definitive in this post, I love The Hollies (As if there's an alternative adjective). A total rip-off of the ' The Beatles '? I think one must live a 100 years to be able to give a justifiable answer to that. If you didn't, really and who cares? +/- The Hollies is one of the bands I grew up listening to (and yes, The Beatles also) where a child can just receive and receive music without questions attached.
