Lost Girl (The Troggs)

27 FEBRUARY 1966

The Troggs released their debut single ‘Lost Girl’ in February 1966. This one had many of the ingredients that would later make them a success, but it was a pretty weak song and the record failed to chart.

'Lost Girl' is heavy, pounding garage rock, with a rather muddy production mix and a rare Troggs guitar solo. This one might have flopped, but their next single was to be 'Wild Thing' and their career was about to take off big time.

'I've lost my girl,

I can't express

My grieve,

My sorrow,

My emptiness

I hope someday

That she'll hear my plea

And with opened arms

She will run to me

Yes, she will,

Ah, yes, she will now

Ah, yeh, babe

I thought I knew

Her every sound

Her smile,

Her tear,

Her ups and down

But I was wrong

As a fellow can be

Cos she's just turned round

And walked out on me

Yes, she has -

Ah, yes, she has been

Ah, yeah

(break)

The times we had,

The times we spent

The day we met

By accident

Was easy come,

Was easy go

It seems a pity

'cos I loved you so

Yes, I did,

Ah, yes, I did now

Ah, baby

I think someday

I'd take a chance

Go out and find

A new romance

Some other tune,

Some other gal

Someone who'll love me

Like I hope she will

Yes, she will,

I hope she will now

Ah, come here, baby'
