Louise
Hollies · Russian Roulette [2006]
Coming on strong' can't be too long
Gotta get what my body needs
It needs Louise
Louise
Gonna break my heart, gotta make a start
Gotta get it together with Louise
Ooh Louise
Queen in blue jeans,
boppin' at the hop,
alive with the jive
rollin' with the rock
Louise
Baby gonna move like lightning
Don't blink your eye
The speed I'm gonna do is frightening
Everybody move on over
I'm electrified
The speed's comin' through like a nova
verse 1
verse 2
verse 3
Sparks are gonna fly igniting
Mr Dynamite I'm burnin' up the night
to light ya
Get ready for the big explosion
Call in the reserves there's gonna be a chain reaction
verse 1
verse 2
Louise - Hollies
Hollies' 2006 recording of 'Louise' stands as a poignant song in their extensive catalogue of emotional ballads.

The song features the group's signature harmonies, weaving a narrative of longing and heartbreak that remains central to their musical identity. Released on the album 'Russian Roulette [2006]', the recording captures a matured version of the band's songwriting, focusing on lyrical depth and melodic structure rather than the chart-topping anthems of their earlier years. It serves as a testament to their enduring capacity to deliver moving musical experiences through consistent craftsmanship and emotional honesty.
