The Zombies - Girl Help Me
The Zombies are a rock band from the end of the 60’s. If you haven’t heard of them, you’re probably quite familiar with their song Time of the Season which is synonymous with the free-spirited era and is often used in flashback sequences to the 60’s in sitcoms and movies. Their album Odessey and Oracle is an amazing piece of work and was recognized by Rolling Stone as the 80th best album on their list of the 500 Best Albums of All Time. The Zombies are an interesting story in that they disbanded before they saw any success with the release of Time of the Season as a single. As a result, Odessey and Oracle has been released at multiple times in various countries with different cuts and bonus tracks. Girl Help Me is one such bonus track and there is another version entitled Call of the Night. Both versions are great and worth finding along with the rest of the Zombies’ music if you’re a fan of the era.
Lyrics:
Last night I walked out to a darkening sky
I heard a sad song, and the song made me cry
Girl help me, I
I can’t think of nothing but you
Help me, I
I can’t think of nothing but you
For when I was young with the fever of life
Your love cut my soul like a blade of a knife
Girl help me, I
I can’t think of nothing but you
Help me, I
I can’t think of nothing but you
And when I take a look around to see what’s done
To see the sum of all that I’ve become
Then I see it’s true girl
There’s nothing there but you
(Oh girl)
Help me, I
I can’t think of nothing but you
Help me, I
I can’t think of nothing but you
And when I get to the dark at the end of the hall
I shout out you name but you don’t hear me call
Girl help me, I
I can’t think of nothing but you
Help me, I
I can’t think of nothing but you
Help me, I
I can’t think of nothing but you
Help me, I
I can’t think of nothing but you
