                Russell, 1983 (mono), 1992 
                re-edit (stereo).  Recorded: 06-04-64 | 
      
        | 
        Johnny Kidd (voc) - Mick Green (lead) 
        - Johnny Spence (bass) - 
        Frank Farley (drums) - Vic Cooper (keyboards) | 
      
        |  Originally 
        released on Rarities" 
        in its virginal state.  The ending finishes abruptly as if everyone had 
        forgotten the plan, and Kidd saying something like "Didn't time the ending!"  The 
        original paperwork contains written notes as to how the song should be 
        edited for final mastering, but this wasn't carried out at the time when the projected 
        LP was cancelled.  It was carried out however for inclusion on the 
        "Complete" CD, enabling listeners to 
        evaluate how the completed master would have originally sounded. |

        | Ahh-ahah-ahaaah A little bit of soap will wash away
 Your lipstick from my face
 A little bit of soap will never
 Never never never erase
 The pain in my heart and my eyes
 As I go through the lonely years
 A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears
 
 A little bit of soap will wash away
 Your powder from my chin
 A little bit of soap will never
 Never never never begin
 To take away the hurt that I feel
 As I go through the lonely years
 A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears
 
 Oh have you heard how love begins to die
 Reasons wonder why that they
 Like a bird you look to rob the nest
 Just like all the rest you fly away
 
 Oh a little bit of soap will wash away
 Your perfume reminding you to me
 A little bit of soap will never
 Wash away the memory
 Of your name in the night
 That I call through these lonely years
 A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears
 
 Oh let me tell you baby, tell you of the night
 As I call through the lonely years
 A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears
 
 Oh let me tell you baby, that your name
 I call through the lonely years
 A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears
