Just found this site. Have listened and listened to The Hollies' "Long Cool Woman" and still can't make out many of the lyrics. I hear "Saturday night, I was downtown, working for the FBI..." and, at the end, "...a machine was a-hold of my left hand, a machine was a-hold of my right....and I'll never be forgiven...something-something-something." Any help? Thanks.

The Hollies---Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress
Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles piling high
Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman singing a song
A pair of s made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5-9 beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
I saw her heading to the table
Well a tall walking big black cat
When Charlie said I hope that you're able, boy
Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at
Well then suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
Jumping under doors and tables
Well I heard somebody shooting a gun
Well the DA was pumping my left hand
And she was holding my right
Well I told her, "Don't get scared
'Cause you're gonna be spared"
Well I'm gonna be forgiven
If I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5-9 beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
Had it all, had it all, had it all...

ha ha, I remember my parody to that, "Mumblin' native in a head dress!" Nothing more than a filler...but it was pretty funny..."Saturday I was in Sudan, following up my tourguide..." hillarious...
