- "Here Come the Nice" is a song by English rock band Small Faces. Written by guitarist Steve Marriott and bass guitarist Ronnie Lane, it was released as a single on 2 June 1967, through Immediate Records. The song, which was the band's debut on Immediate, was their first promoted release of 1967, following feuds with Decca Records. It marked a distinct turning point for Small Faces' career, being their first single to deliberately venture into psychedelia, though they'd previously done that on a few album tracks for Decca. The song's subject regarding a drug dealer somehow bypassed the BBC censors, who did not ban it, which resulted in the song managing to chart at number 12 on the UK Singles Chart during the summer of 1967. The song received mostly good reviews from music critics, with many positively noting the change of genres. The song is also known for its distinct outro, which was done through electro-mechanical studio processes, similar to how the band would experiment with flanging on their follow-up single "Itchycoo Park", which was released shortly after. Nonetheless, "Here Come the Nice" became one of Small Faces' best known recordings and, although it failed to chart within the top 10 in the United Kingdom, the song ultimately led the band to continue producing psychedelic songs for the rest of their career. Despite not charting on either the Billboard Hot 100 or the Cashbox Top 100, the song was eventually included on the United States-only album There Are But Four Small Faces, released approximately ten months afterward, and was also included on the soundtrack of Peter Whitehead's Tonite Let's All Make Love in London in 1968.

- "Here Come the Nice" is een liedje van de Britse rockgroep The Small Faces. Het was hun eerste single op het label , waarvoor ze Decca Records hadden verlaten. Zowel deze single als de Amerikaanse versie van hun tweede studioalbum, getiteld There Are But Four Small Faces, werd in juni 1967 uitgegeven. Op de b-kant stond het liedje "Talk to You". Beide liedjes werden geschreven door Steve Marriott en Ronnie Lane, die tevens de muzikale productie verzorgden. "Here Come the Nice" is psychedelische beatmuziek met expliciete verwijzingen naar drugs. Marriott bezingt met zijn kopstem een dealer die hem "nice" (een benaming die de band gaf aan speed en marihuana) zal brengen: "He makes me feel like no-one else could, he knows what I want, he's got what I need, he's always there, if I need some speed".
