Hollies, The - Listen To Me Lyrics






Listen to me I'll sing a song to change your mind

Have you ever wondered why
Whenever thing goes wrong
Nobody stops to lend a hand
Nobody seems to care
When she looks you in the eye
And suddenly you're strong
And very soon you realise
That you didn't care about love

Listen to me I'll sing a song to change your mind
Your ears are deaf, your mouth is dumb, your eyes are blind
Listen to me and very soon I think you'll find
Somebody wants to help you, somebody seems to care
And very soon you've forgotten that you didn't care about love

Does it hurt to realise
You've been acting very strange
Refusing to take the love she gives
Pretending you don't care
Did it take you by surprise
To discover how you'd changed
How you forgot to remember
That you didn't care about love

Listen to me I'll sing a song to change your mind
Your ears are deaf, your mouth is dumb, your eyes are blind
Listen to me and very soon I think you'll find
Somebody wants to help you, somebody seems to care
And very soon you've forgotten
That you didn't care about love

Listen to me I'll sing a song to change your mind
Your ears are deaf, your mouth is dumb, your eyes are blind
Listen to me and very soon I think you'll find
Somebody wants to help you, somebody seems to care
And very soon you've forgotten
That you didn't care about love
You didn't care about love
You didn't care about
You didn't care about
You didn't care about love

    Written by great songwriter Tony Hazzard !!

  2. R.... B....

    Such a great band. Love this song.

  3. M.... A....

    Love the song - can't understand the words.

  4. s.... ....

    There wasn't many better pop bands than the Hollies. If I think hard I might come up with half a dozen. Who thumbed this minor masterpiece down?

  5. j.... o....

    I'm listening. Love it

  6. w.... j....

    great song!

  7. S.... S....

    Good hollies song, good lineup , Alan Clarke , graham Nash , Bernie Calvert, Bobby Elliot

  8. S.... H....

    I love the Graham Nash harmony. It's beautiful.

  9. A.... P....

    Graham Nash's swan song with the Hollies, but a pure pop masterpiece.

  10. m.... M....

    Bright lads bright song!!!!

  11. R.... T....

    16 people who's ears are deaf and brains are dumb 28/03/2019 see how they grow

  12. j.... m....

    Tão de fantásticos como de inesquecíveis, estes The Hollies. Na minha opinião, a melhor banda a nível de vozes em dueto, ou terceto. Sempre presentes nas minhas audições

  13. p.... d....

    The hollies pecking order

  14. K.... ....

    This is when Graham Nash was on his way out. It's 1968 and the management has you in bow ties.

  15. b.... b....

    just brilliant .. luv luv luv.. you don't care about, you don't care about, you don't care about luuuuuuuuv.. mwahh

  16. J.... G....

    I swear that there was some weird connection between the Hollies & The Who because of the coincidences I've spotted the last couple of days. Firstly I noticed how similar the Hollies 'I Can't Let Go' and 'I Can See For Miles' by The Who are to each other in their structure & sound.
    Now I just heard this Hollies song for the first time and I noticed plenty of references of being deaf, dumb, and blind - (even the words are in the same order) at the time of this songs release, Pete Townshend & The Who would've been completing the Tommy album, so it's odd that the words 'deaf, dumb, & blind' are in both recordings.

    Regarding 'I Can't Let Go' and 'I Can See For Miles', the Hollies released 'I Can't Let Go' in 1965 I think, and The Who's 'I Can See For Miles' was released in 1967. Although according to Townshend, he wrote 'I Can See For Miles' a couple of years earlier but wanted to save it as an 'ace in the hole' song, in case The Who should struggle for singles to release.....which means that those 2 songs were probably written around the same time.
    Was there some kind of espionage going on between these 2 bands at the time? Or something else?

  17. T.... ....

    14 lunatics with no taste.

  18. K.... M....

    Where was Tony?

  19. D.... A....

    I always thought John Lennon sing this song.

  20. P.... C....

    This is from a Dutch TV show called 'Twien', broadcast 1st November 1968. Great clip!

  21. D.... R....

    This could so easily be the Bee Gees it's not funny!

    D.... R....

    Bee Gees are actually the "next2go" Hollies' musical style ~ evolved pure 70s legacy.

  22. R.... M....

    My favourite!

  23. P.... V....

    the Hollies the best group I ever heard

  24. P.... V....

    a nice song I remember me this song when I was in New Sealand

  25. p.... e....

    typical HOLLIES great harmony

  26. e.... r....

    sweet tune, the second verse sends shivers

  27. P.... R....

    The Hollies.....Simply perfect and wonderful.

  28. P.... V....

    a very nice song

  29. P.... V....

    The Hollies listen to me a very famous song!!!!

  30. a.... w....

    Ik was een echte Hollies fan

  31. p.... e....

    one of my fav tracks by the HOLLIES

    p.... e....

    yes agreed this really is a brill song the harmonies are just stunning, an tonys hidden bits in it too, ??

  32. L.... R....

    Brings back memories of moving up to senior school!

  33. r.... a....

    The Hollies é uma banda que não teve o valor merecido pelas mídias da época! Preferiam os Beatles que uma banda unida como eles!

  34. D.... �....

    Nash hating his life by this point.

  35. h.... ....

    diese Stimme ist einmalig...der beste song von den Hollies...ssssuuuppppiiiii......

  36. H.... ....

    I think the video needs a bit of re-syncing, but what a great track this is! I remember loving it around the end of 1968 just as I started work, a period where it was all too easy for a great number to drop between the cracks because there was just so much fantastic stuff in the charts, so competition was tremendous. But it stands the test of time. The writer, Tony Hazzard, seemed to be all over the scene at that time—I understand he's in his early seventies and still in the business.

  37. U.... A....

    Amazing song. Probably the most underrated pop song of all time. …sigh...

    U.... A....

    Totally agree x

  38. �.... �....

    Велика група!

  39. M.... S....

    Fantastic quality video on the iPhone. Obviously has been remastered, Great song used to whistle this when I was a paperboy

  47. J.... W....

    the hollies are amazzzzzing Alan Clarke's voice is to me next best to John  Lennon and Bob  Dylan, full of feeling, Gasoline Alley Bred is very under estimated, one of the very best. The band did better music after G. Nash left, Alan Clarke is one of the very best, record again Alan people will love to hear you, you are missed very much.

    J.... W....

    +blackmore4 Thanks. It's good to know that someone is making sense!

    J.... W....

    Yeah, that 3 album run was AMAZING. And they did it WITH Graham, of course. Graham was really inspired and full of power in those years. I love the Hollies, by the way. My favorite album is Evolution. I can't describe its magic...

    J.... W....

    And a gorgeous looking guy as well.

    J.... W....

    @slimshine918 one accolade about the post Nash years is with Terry Sylvester the Hollies had three top ten hits in the US: He Ain't Heavy......, Long Cool Woman....,The Air That I Breathe.

    J.... W....

    @chrisbacos ~ Oh I agree, and those are fine songs, some of the group's best work. Terry Sylvester was indeed an asset, good singer, and an excellent choice to fill the vacancy after Nash departed.

  48. f.... a....

    their vokals not in the world of competition

    f.... a....

    their songs and melodies have become a new classic.

  49. M.... ....

    Raro ver a Graham Nash con "el uniforme blanco" de los Hollies :P

  50. K.... R....

    Clark and Nash harmonies are great.. CSN were better !

    K.... R....

    I know which i prefer and that's why i'm here.

    K.... R....

    Cod Zilla ...Count me in as well Cod.

  51. D.... S....

    one piece of my life

    D.... S....

    Mine too. Much happier days too.

  52. H.... J....

    Det er den bedste The Hollies sang fra 1966-1970. Jeg er stor The Holliesfan jeg har 42 albums på CD 

  53. S.... ....

    quality

  54. B.... S....

    Hollies great band Allan Clarke superb singer

  55. U.... A....

    Incredible song. Missed by almost everyone. Amazing harmonies especially on the middle 8 bit. "Does it hurt to realise..."
    Such brilliant songwriting deserved more recognition.

    U.... A....

    Totally agree .How can you not love the Hollies- they defined then sixties for me

  56. A.... ....

    One of the songs, that brings back a lot of childhood memories. This is one of the first records I ever got. I was only 5 or 6 years old when I got a bunch of old 45 records from my mother along with my first record player. Well, I'm 35 now and I still have this record today and play it on my Jukebox regularly.
