Just then the police raid the place (how they found out about it, when our hero never placed his call, and why he gets the credit from the D.A. for the successful bust, is not explained). No matter, our hero winds up with a medal and the girl. Kinda reminds me of that fantastic movie, L.A. Confidential (even if that took place in the 1950's) where Russell Crowe's hardboiled cop character ends up with Kim Bassinger. I got into this song from the Remember the Titans soundtrack.

It's hard NOT to draw the parallel - it sounds very much like a CCR song. Discover and explore song lyrics by The Hollies.
Since I first heard this song in 72 it was my good luck song. Over the years whenever I heard it I would get a jolt of energy and expect good things to occur. 12 years ago I meet a beautiful women in a black dress she was so sexy and cool and thinking of this song I struck up a conversation.

Thanks so much for posting the words to this song. Because I could never figure them out.What can I say people,A "Hollies" Classic! ---She had it allll,Had it all-She had it all'-Don't you know... He was about to pull out his DA and bust the place.
I am now 52 years old and it still is magic to me. I have a "Songs of the 70s" CD that has this song just before "Don't Fear the Reaper." Perhaps just a coincidence, but both have opening guitar riffs that are pretty similar. By the way, my friend suggested "Well a shotgun was pumped in my left hand" for the beginning of the last verse. With careful listening, we knew it was incorrect, but we both thought it was cool.

So...in contention with what everyone says the lyrics are, I am proposing my version of the lyrics. These lyrics are acquired by taking the mp3 file of the song and playing it back in an editing program and slowing the tempo down while maintaining the pitch. I slowed the speed down to 60% which made the lyrics much clearer...then in the parts that were still a little unsure I slowed it down to 50%. I'm 99.99% positive these are the actual words to this song.
Hi Jennifur, I was fortunate enough to meet Allan several times in the mid to late nineties, I worked in music rights management at that time and we became friendly. He was still touring with the Hollies at that time but it was clear that his singing voice was past its best. Very pleasant person, and modest in his achievements. The song "Remember the Name" was performed by Eminem, 50 Cent, and ...

Clarke is credited as co-writer along with veteran UK songsmiths Greenaway and Cooke, who once recorded a cover of The Beatles' "Michelle" as David & Jonathan. When I was young, I remember neighbors in their teens playing the radio while shooting baskets. Of all the songs that were broadcast, this is the one I remember most. The reverb on the guitar and vocals gives it an even more distant, nostalgic place in my long memory. For years, I listened to this song on tiny clock radios with one low-fidelity speaker.
Being, undecipherable, I tried to make out what the lyrical content was. These are the words I attributed to the song. I know THEY ARE WRONG, but I rather like some of them, especially the "beautiful song" variants. There is no question that Credence influenced the guitar riffs and even some of the vocal style on this wonderful song. The correct lyrics are available at leoslyrics.com. "Romany", the superb LP with Rickfors, sold well over time and remained in print into the '80s.
