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?
