Ye Olde Toffee Shoppe

The Hollies Ye Olde Toffee Shop (Alan Clarke/Tony Hicks/Graham Nash) Track 9 on album 'Evolution' (June 1967) I press my nose against the pane of the little toffee shop. Day after day I save my pennies to spend at the toffee shop. Come Saturday morn at nine o'clock, I stand on the cold stone street. A penny every day that I have saved to buy myself some sweets. The nice, little lady, old and grey, with gla*ses and shawl. Gives love away to good little boys who do as they are told. She's always telling stories of her childhood days. She couldn't buy the things that I can for families in those days. {interlude} Imagine the sweets that I can buy with six pennies of my own. I always take my time to choose the sweets that I'll be taking home. Gobstoppers in my pockets, brown sugar in my hand, lollies you s*ck that last all day, and sugar that looks like sand.
