Hollies - Peculiar Situation LYRICS

The Hollies
Peculiar Situation
(Alan Clarke/Tony Hicks/Graham Nash)
Track 8 on album 'For Certain Because' (December 1966)

We take walks in storms on rainy nights
When it's cold I hold you close to me
When we dine, you help me choose the wine
It's these things that mean so much to me.

{Chorus:}
Ain't this a peculiar situation? (...ation)
We're lovers, but we don't make love
But when these things mean so much to us,
well, now that's all ri-ight.

I don't think your father is too rich
And I know your mother has good taste
Rnd it's not because you're beautiful
When you're busy you find time for me.

{chorus}
{interlude, hummed}

But when these things mean so much to us
Well, now that's all ri-ight.

You do well at things that interest you
When there's doubt you never turn away
If you're wrong you don't mind saying so
Not too proud to phone me when you're down.

{chorus}

Ri-ight

Ain't this a peculiar situation? (ain't this a peculiar situation)
Ain't this a peculiar situation? (ain't this a peculiar situation)
{fadeout}
Ain't this a peculiar situation?
