ELEANOR'S CASTLE
(Allan Clarke)
The Hollies


Eleanor`s Castle, boy, what a hassle
Why did you have to build yorr walls so high?
I`d put my arm around you, but a moat surrounds you
The only way`s to let your drawbridge down

Nights without number, I`m without slumber
Thinking of ways to breach your turrets tall
You`re an iron lady and someday maybe
You`ll forget to bar the iron door

Man was made to conquer, so the story goes
I wish I knew who said it he could help me `cause he knows
This situation`s gettin` way out of line
I can`t win if you won`t let me in
Ain`t it a sin? (it`s a sin she won`t let him in)

break

Shielded from my advances, there`s very few chances
I`m a one man crusade fightin` in vain
Rack my brains for ideas but it appears
Compared to you dragons are easily slain

Eleanor`s Castle boy, what a hassle
Why did you have to build your walls so high?
Nights without number, I`m without slumber
Thinking of ways to breach your turrets tall
Shielded from my advances, there`s very few chances
I`m a one man crusade fight` in vain
