The Hollies Eleanor's Castle lyrics

Eleanor's castle, boy what a hassle
Why did you have to build your walls so high?
I'd put my arms 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 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 getting 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)

Shielded from my advances
There's very few chances
I'm a one-man crusade fighting in vain

Rack my brain 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?
I'd put my arms around you but a moat surrounds you
The only way's to let your drawbridge down

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 getting 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)

Rack my brain for ideas
But it appears, compared to you
Dragons are easily slain
