The Hollies son una banda de pop británica formada a inicios de 1960. Están comúnmente asociados a la ciudad de Manchester en donde tuvieron sus orígenes.
El quinteto fue influenciado fuertemente por The Everly Brothers y es bien sabido que la tercera parte de sus armonías rivalizan con aquellas de The Beach Boys, las guitarras melodiosas, las melodías contagiosas, el ritmo un tanto jazzístico, y una imagen limpia-escandalosa. Fueron llamados los "Everly Brothers Britanicos".

Chorus: BbD#BbD#Bb I know that we could have made it; we had ideas in our heads. D#BbD#Bb And I wish somehow we could have saved it but we're Gasoline Alley bred.

Woman, you can really believe it, I did everything a man could do. Breaking my back just to make us a dime. That won't mean a damn when no one wants to know you.
Woman, I know how you're feeling. I've seen the hurt upon your face. How many time do you think that I've cried? Knowing every day that your heart was getting broken, Holdin' back your pride til you were nearly chokin' Oh, let's get away, baby.
Chorus
G#Bb Gasoline Alley, Gasoline Alley Bred (repeat to fade)
