Hollies - Hard, Hard Year LYRICS

The Hollies
Hard, Hard Year
(L. Ransford = Allan Clarke, Tony Hicks & Graham Nash)
Track 2 on album 'Would You Believe' June 1966

{acoustic guitar intro}

Bad times, something's wrong
Money's gone, I'm on my own
Can't stay, there's nothing here
It's been a hard, hard year.

First month, snows came
Put me in bed, couldn't work the same
Job's gone, bills are here
Been a hard, hard year.

I look on the bad side of life
I lose heart then I want to die
So I've got to get back on my feet
And prove to myself I'm a man.

{fuzz guitar interlude by Tony Hicks}

I hope that the bad times are gone
It's been work, but I think that I've won
Now I'm happy
And I'll never be that way again
No, I'll never be that way again.

Snow's gone, spring's here
Won't happen twice, I've seen my way clear
Everyone's paid, got no one to fear
Been a hard, hard year.
Been a hard, hard year.
