Kill Me Quick
Hollies · Clarke Hicks & Nash Years [2011]
Beautiful looking through the eyes of love
But you know, I'm telling you, girl
Life ain't all the same
Take a look, take a look around you now
You'll find that though it seems great
Life is just a crazy scene
You and me seem to see right through a haze
People laugh but we both know that it pays
But you know, I'm telling you, girl
Life ain't all the same
Take a look, take a look around you now
You'll find that though it seems great
Life is just a crazy scene
I want you to know how I feel
When you go, the world ain't real
I want you to know how I feel
When you go, the world ain't real
It's all balanced on the keen edge of a knife
Let's all laugh at the craziness of life
But you know, I'm telling you, girl
Life ain't all the same
Take a look, take a look around you now
You'll find that though it seems great
Life is just a crazy scene
Kill Me Quick - Hollies
Hollies' 'Kill Me Quick' stands as a potent example of their mid-1960s pop-rock output, characterized by driving rhythms and emotive vocals typical of the era. Recorded during the Clarke Hicks & Nash period, the track exemplifies the band's ability to blend catchy melodies with the raw energy that defined British Invasion music. While often associated with their more famous ballads, this song showcases their versatility in delivering high-energy performances that resonated with audiences of the time. The recording captures the essence of the mid-sixties sound, featuring the group's signature harmonies and a production style that prioritized live feel and immediacy. It remains a notable song in their discography, reflecting the musical direction they pursued alongside hits like 'A Taste of Honey' and 'Baby Don't Cry'.
