Not an edit. This is a 1966 BBC performance of the Hollies, all dubbed & mono, so I put an interesting, real bright & clear remaster stereo version of the song in it, from the album "20 Greatest Hits". It is interesting for it is a different mix, with voices spread over both channels and the banjo at the left. The banjo solo is nine seconds longer than the BBC version and some other stereo version on YouTube. I therefore had to extend the video's solo by adding some banjo, bass and drums parts. Enjoy!
Stop³ was a top ten hit in eight countries: #1 in Canada & New Zealand, #2 in the UK, #4 in Germany, Norway & Sweden, #5 in Holland, #7 in the US. #11 in retarded Australia and #12 in even more backward Belgium...
STOP STOP STOP
(Allan Clarke, Tony Hicks, Graham Nash)
see the girl with cymbals on her fingers entering through the door
ruby glistening from her navel, shimmering around the floor
bells on feet go ting-a-ling-a-lingin', going through my head
sweat is falling just 'a like 'a teardrops running from her head
now she's dancing, going through the movements, swaying to and fro
body moving, bringing back a memory, thoughts of long ago
blood is rushing, temperature is rising, sweating from my brow
like a snake, her body fascinates me, I can't look away now
stop, stop, stop all the dancing, give me time to breathe
stop, stop, stop all the dancing or I'll have to leave
now she's moving all around the tables luring all in sight
but I know that she cannot see me hidden by the light
closer, closer, she is getting nearer; soon she'll be in reach
as I enter into her spotlight, she stands lost for speech
stop, stop, stop all the dancing, give me time to breathe
stop, stop, stop all the dancing or I'll have to leave
stop, stop, stop all the dancing, give me time to breathe
stop, stop, stop all the dancing or I'll have to leave
now I hold her, people are staring, don't know what to think
and we struggle, knocking over tables, spilling all the drinks
can't they understand that I want her? Happens every week
heavy hand upon my collar throws me in the street
stop, stop, stop all the dancing, give me time to breathe
stop, stop, stop all the dancing or I'll have to leaeeeeeeeeeeeve
