Scotland Referendum Results

Duration: 2:18
Updated: 20 Sep 2014

e campaign signs are coming down. Gone are the colorful “yes” and “no” buttons that seemed to grace every lapel in Scotland. The dream of independence is dead, perhaps for a generation or more. But though the status quo prevailed in Scotland's historic referendum, scuttling an effort to break free of ties to Britain, there was a sense in the dazed aftermath Friday that a great deal had changed. In the most immediate example, Scotland's independence leader, First Minister Alex Salmond, announced that he would step down in November. For Scotland to move forward, he said, it needs fresh blood. The brash and very shrewd leader of the Scottish National Party personified the drive for secession, and he ultimately failed. But in the process, he extracted painful promises of reforms granting Scotland greater autonomy, including increased authority to raise taxes and adopt more generous health and welfare benefits. APphoto_Britain Scotland A Saltire and Union Jack flag hang side by side on a building in Edinburgh, Scotland, on Friday. (Scott Heppell / AP) The result is a tectonic shift in power, not just in Scotland, but across all of Britain. British Prime Minister David Cameron, in a landmark speech Friday pledging to honor his promise to Scotland, followed it up with another momentous offer: The same deal will be extended to England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

[Latest News] Scotland vote for scotland independence

Duration: 2:27
Updated: 20 Sep 2014

Scotland chose decisively against independence on Thursday, but it was not a vote for the status quo in Britain. The debate over regional and national autonomy that was set off by the Scots has just begun, and it promises a constitutional shake-up in the United Kingdom, which remains intact but by no means fixed or unchallenged. While the outcome of the vote was met with tremendous relief from Downing Street and Buckingham Palace to Brussels and Washington, Britain was also awakening to the realization on Friday that it had agreed to grant the Scots considerable new powers to run their own affairs. Prime Minister David Cameron now faces a broader debate over the centralization of power in London, uncertainty over Britain’s place in Europe, intense budget pressures, and fissures within his own Conservative Party as he heads toward a general election campaign in the spring.

Responsive Images – Status Quo

Duration: 64:04
Updated: 19 Sep 2014

Das Thema "Bilder" stellt im responsive Design nach wie vor ein großes Problem dar. Zumindest wenn es sich um inhaltlich relevante Grafiken handelt, die im HTML-Code eingebunden werden sollen. Zwar lassen sich mit klassischen HTML- und CSS-Techniken Bilder skalieren und somit kleiner anzeigen, es werden aber immer die gleichen Daten geladen, was entweder Kompromisse bei der Performance oder bei der gestalterischen Qualität bedeutet. In diesem Zusammenhang ist nicht nur die Größe des Displays eine Herausforderung, auch für unterschiedliche Auflösungen sollten im Idealfall verschiedene Grafiken ausgeliefert werden. Und dann wäre da noch das sog. "Art Direction Problem", denn je nach Grafik ergibt eine Skalierung keinen Sinn – besser wäre es, den Bildausschnitt zu verändern. Als mit der Verbreitung von Responsive Design diese Probleme erkannt wurden, existierten in HTML keine Lösungen. Verschiedene Skripte haben sich daher der Problematik angenommen. Mittlerweile ist einige Zeit vergangen. Native HTML-Lösungen wie das Picture-Element, das srcset-Attribut oder das src-n-Attribut sind in der Diskussion – und mehr oder weniger praxistauglich. Jonas Hellwig beleuchtet in diesem Vortrag die Problematik im Zusammenhang mit "Responsive Images", erklärt die verschiedenen Techniken und bewertet die jeweilige Einsatzfähigkeit.

Top Barbra Streisand, Status Quo

Are you ready to hear your lesson for the day?
-Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher!
Are you ready to learn what History has to say?
-Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher!
Then take your books and follow me to 1776 AD
And as the History page is turned we will see what we can learn
-Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher!
In 1776 Tom Paine was writing books with a might and main
The Tory said "now man alive"
Stop giving out with this here liberty jive
-Stop giving out with this here liberty jive
Don't sing of people's rights that way
They might believe in what you say
So stop your song it's not polite
Pipe down before you start a fight
-You don't say, Teacher, is that right?
Aha, but Tom Paine looked ahead
And to those Tories Thomas said no, no, no, no
When you got to go, you got to go
You can't stand still on freedom's track
If you don't go forward, you go back
You can't giddyup by saying Whoa
And sitting on your status quo
-Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher!
To Washington at Valley Forge
A wise guy whispered slow down, George
Why start up trouble for the king
This freedom racket is a corny thing
-This freedom racket is a corny thing
Your troops are ickys they can't move
You'll never get them in the groove
So if you're wise, you'll just lay low
and play with the guys that have the dough
-You don't say Teacher, is that so?
Aha, but George just looked ahead
And to that Tory Georgie said...No...no, no, no
When you got to go, you got to go
You can't stand still on freedom's track
If you don't go forward, you go back
You can't giddyup by saying whoa
And sitting on your status quo
-Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher!
Now Paul Revere saw a bellfry light
and that boy rode to town one night
Sang to the farmers near and far
Here come the British beating eight to the bar
One slippery tory said now Paul
You're manners aren't nice at all
Turn back, don't be an old hep cat
The right people don't sing like that
-ButPaul Revere turn him down flat
Aha, that's right, he rode ahead
and to that Tory Paul just said, no, no, no, no
When you got to go, you got to go
You can't stand still on freedom's track
If you don't go forward, you go back
You can't giddyup by saying whoa
And sitting on your status quo
Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher
So, students now you're hep, don't stop!
Keep stepping to that freedom hop
Although the tory's beef and blow
To keep you sitting on your status quo
-To keep you sitting on your status quo
When they say let's stand still a bit
Give up some rights, no harm in it
Remember those are just the tricks
That did not work in 76
-Now ain't that right, the same old tricks?
Though Torys talk: don't be misled
And do what all those others said
No, no, no, no
When you got to go, you got to go
You can't stand still on freedom's track
If you don't go forward, you go back
You can't giddyup by saying whoa
And sitting on your status ...
Sitting on, yes, sittin' on your, status...

Top Status Quo, Someone Show Me Home

( Rossi / Frost )
Down by the side of the hotel all-nighter
Is your old grey door
Men gather round with the fear that a lawman
Will come to clean up the floor
Ones a week it all begins
10:15 for sure
Smoke fills the room, they arrive in a hurry
Bring the tears to my eyes
Someone show me outta here
Someone show me home
Someone show me, I can't stay
To see you act that wayOut on the street people moving in closer
I take the lift nineteen floors
Right to the top to the edge set for falling
I look down to see you there
Someone show me outta here
Someone show me home
Someone show me, I can't stay
To see you act that way
Someone show me outta here
Someone show me home
Someone show me, I can't stay
To see you act that way

Top Status Quo, Wild Side Of Life

( Warren / Carter )
Well, you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you
You ask me not to call you on the phone
Well, there's something I've been waiting for to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of a song
The glamor of the gay night life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquer flow
Well, you went to be some body else's baby
And forget the truest love you ever know
I never knew there where honky-tonk angels
Oh, I might have know you never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life
Now the glamour of the gay that life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquer flow
Well, you went to be some body else's baby
And forget the truest love you ever know
I never knew there where honky-tonk angels
Oh, I might have know you never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life
I never knew there where honky-tonk angels
Oh, I might have know you never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life

Top Status Quo, Young Pretender

( Rossi / Frost )
You thought that I would be so warm and tender
That love could be so very nice
I made a call to find suspicion on the line
Why couldn't you be all
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
Again too late I realise
The reasons now I find, conditions at the time
Did not allow for you to be
So don't you worry
I've got it all under control
Take time don't worry
I'm only halfway through a dream
Now love can really be so warm and tender
And can be oh so very nice
But not that way I said, too late too soon you said
Too soon, you said, too late to soonSo don't you worry
I've got it all under control
Take time don't worry
I'm only halfway through a dream
You thought that I would be so warm and tender
That love could be so very nice
I made a call to find suspicion on the line
Why couldn't you be all
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
A young pretender, be a young pretender
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
A young pretender, be a young pretender
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
A young pretender, be a young pretender..

Top Status Quo, Roll The Dice

( Rossi / Frost )
I walk along an empty street
I love the sounding of my feet
It makes me feel so good and though
there's nobody else around, not a soul
I'm quite content to take a seat
the council put there in the street
and watch the nothing going on
Can it really be so wrong all along
to wanna have the best of both worlds
a winner once again
Roll roll roll
roll the dice
pay pay pay
pay the price
roll roll roll
gimme a roll
I wanna roll
roll the dice
I made a beeline for a bar
that I had noticed just before
I didn't bother going in
and then the feeling came again from within
to wanna have the best of both worlds
a winner once again
Roll roll roll
roll the dice
pay pay pay
pay the price
Roll roll roll
gimme a roll
I wanna roll
roll the dice
Let it shine on me
Let it shine

Top Status Quo, What You're Proposin'

( Rossi / Frost )
It sounds so nice, what you're proposin'
Just once or twice, and not disclosin'
And not disclosin' how we're really really feelin'
What you're proposin' the other night
As I was leavin', I looks left and right
And not believin'
And not believin' that I'd finally be leavin'
What you're proposin', now get it right
If I'm composin', but then I might
Be runny nosin'
I might be runny runny runny runny nosin'
But you're supposin'
Don't be so sure, and just supposin'
We yell for more, and compromisin'
And compromisin' leads to really really feelin'And just supposin', don't get me wrong
I'm only dreamin', it can't be long
I must be dreamin'
I must be dreamin', dreamin', only only dreamin'
Am I just supposin'
It sounds so nice, what you're proposin'
Just once or twice, and not disclosin'
And not disclosin' how we're really really feelin'

Let me know, let me see
What is this thing that is constantly happening to me, yeah
'Cos when you hold me tight, oh how it feels so right
Yeah and I know where I am
If I should cry, let me cry
My tears are crying a lullaby
'Cos when I hold you tight, oh how it feels so right

Changes in me, learning to be
Everything that I just silently wanted to see
'Cos when I'm all alone, everything that I own
Lets me know where I am
Give to me what you can
I'll give you all I command

Top Status Quo, When I'm Dead And Gone

Ooh I love you baby, I love you night and day

Wohowow, when I'm dead and gone
I don't want nobody to morn beside my grave

Unspoken Words
Rossi/Young - Valley Music
If I could only share with you
Once more the fruits of yesterday
Could I forget unspoken words?
The change in colours of your way
I can still see you standing there
Clutching my hand and begging not to go
Don't hide the tears, I'm crying too
It doesn't matter too much, no
I'll always be with you by your side
Watching over you, feeling every pain
Hold your head high, think of me there
I'll still be with you once again
I'll always be with you by your side
Watching over you, feeling every pain
Hold your head high, think of me there
I'll still be with you once again

Top Status Quo, Twenty Wild Horses

( Rossi / Frost )
How do you do?
Tell me how are you?
Have you been well?
Give my regards to the world
Hand on my heart, I didn't do what they say
Cos I would rather be blind
or lose my mind completely
Twenty wild horses and five hundred men
They couldn't drag me that far down again
Give me a colt 45 to my head
so I can say I'd be better off dead
Straight as an arrow I'll make a new start
What can I tell you, it's straight from the heart
I have a dream and it's the same every night
I sleep with you, everything seems to be right
Beyond belief
When I awake and I find, that I am stuck in this place
My back's to the wall completely
Twenty wild horses and five hundred men
They couldn't drag me that far down again
Give me a colt 45 to my head
so I can say I'd be better off dead
Straight as an arrow I'll make a new start
I wanna tell you it straight from the heart
So what can I say?
Seems that in here I find everyone is innocent
All I can do is hope and pray for an end
I've had enough, but that don't change anything
Hand on my heart
I didn't do what they say
Now at the end of the line
I'm loosing my mind completely
Twenty wild horses and five hundred men
They couldn't drag me that far down again
Give me a colt 45 to my head
so I can say I'd be better off dead
Straight as an arrow I'll make a new start
What can I tell you, it's straight from the heart
Twenty wild horses and five hundred men
They couldn't drag me that far down again

Something you're saying now
Disturbing the way I feel

I only know the way I feel
I'm holding it here in my mind
So please don't be unkind
Don't talk just let me unwind
â'Cos something's going on in my head Yeah, something's going on in my head
And I'm not quite sure what you said

Top Status Quo, Shine On

( Parfitt / Edwards )
The evening sun went down
I tried to rise and shine
I didn't feel so good
I prayed for extra time
And I could see a light
breaking through the night
shining down on me
I had to make a stand
to find myself again
'cos I was on my knees
and I was near the end
And then I saw a light
breaking through the night
shining down on me
Let it shine on me
Let it shine on me
Let it shine on me
Shine on, Shine on, Shine on, Shine on
I opened up my eyes
to see the morning sun
and now the road is clear
and I am free to run
yeah I can see the light
It's burning so bright
shining down on me
shining down on me
And it was the light
that took me through the night
shining down on me
shining down on me

Top Status Quo, Runaway

( Rossi / Frost )
Riding on a high
Riding so high now I'm leaving
Am I running far from my own fears
I'm never facing up
I never face up to the reasons
And never showing any of my tears
Cos I
Leave out the back way
Not the way that I came in
Beacuse it seems like the logical way, at the time
And then I run, run, run
And seek a hideaway
I'm on the run, run, run, I'm falling
Run, run I'm a runaway
Can I go back
Can I go back where I started
I always will remember my needs
Take me far away
Take me away to an island
And leave me hear to cry in my own tears
Try me once again
Try me again when you're passing
Maybe I'll remember you in years
I can't go out the back way
Just the way that I came in
I hope it seems like the logical way, at the timeBeacuse I'll run, run, run
And seek a hideaway
I'm on the run, run, run, I'm falling
Run, run I'm a runaway
Can I go back
Can I go back where I started
I always will remember my needs
Looking for so long
But I am listening longer
I haven't seen or heard a thing from you
I can't stay here
I couldn't stay here if you paid me
I can't give you any guarantees
I won't
Go out the back way
Not the way that I came in
Beacuse it seems like the logical way, at the time
And then I run, run, run
And seek a hideaway
I'm on the run, run, run, I'm falling
Run, run I'm a runaway
Can I go back
Can I go back where I started
I always will remember my needs
Can I go back
Can I go back where I started
I always will remember my needs
I always will remember my needs
I said,I always will remember my needs

Top Status Quo, She Don't Fool Me

( Parfitt / Bown )
I just recived a message from my mother
She asked me nicely not to bring the girl back home
She says that she's good-looking but she's crazy
Oh, but mama dear i knew it all along
She Don't fool me
She thinks I only see what I wanna see
No, she don't fool me
She don't fool me
I needed someone I could call my mistress
To help me back from the fire to the frying pan
She's young enough to write me of as senile
But I'm old enough to read between the lines
She Don't fool me
She thinks I only see what I wanna see
No, she don't fool me
She don't fool meA very normal business transaction
Somehow turned into a daymare overnight
I know she knows I know she doesn't love me
She knows I know she knows it ain't working right
No, she don't fool me
She thinks I only see what I wanna see
Oh, she don't fool me
She thinks I only see what I wanna see
Oh, she don't fool me
She don't fool me

Top Status Quo, Run To Mummy

Run To Mummy
Song Lyrics
(RossiBown)
She runs to mummy when she comes over funny
And she really isn't bothered at all
She never hurt me really, maybe she's worth it
But it's rapidly becoming a bore
She says I mess around, take her for a ride
She thinks I gotta little bitty hidden on the side
But doesn't everybody have a little bitty hidden on the side?
I know it's silly but there, there isn't really
Any truth in what she's saying at all
I get suspicious of all her loving kisses
Just before she goes a-missing for hours
She's messing me around, giving me a ride
I think she's got a little bitty hidden on the side
Why does ev'rybody keep a little bitty hidden on the side?
Maybe I'm crazy but I, I love my baby
Maybe baby's just a pain in the heart
She runs to mummy when she comes over funny
Screaming, Mummy, it's a-falling apart
Yeah yeah yeah yeah run to mummy run run
He's a-breaking my heart
Run to mummy run run, yeah yeah run to mummy
He's gonna take us apart
She runs to mummy when she comes over funny
And she really isn't bothered at all
She never hurt me really, maybe she's worth it
But it's rapidly becoming a bore
She says I mess around, take her for a ride
She thinks I gotta little bitty hidden on the side
But doesn't everybody have a little bitty hidden on the side?
Maybe I'm crazy but I, I love my baby
Maybe baby's just a pain in the heart
She runs to mummy when she comes over funny
Screaming, Mummy, it's a-falling apart
Yeah yeah yeah yeah run to mummy run run
He's a-breaking my heart
Run to mummy run run, yeah yeah run to mummy
He's gonna take us apart
Fooling with my feelings, messing with m

Top Status Quo, Round And Round

( Bown / Edwards )
Monday morning, beautiful sunshine
Don't wanna go to work now
Guess I won't be missed this one time
Nobodies getting hurt now
Telephone call on the red card hotline
I'm never gonna learn how
We go round and round and round and round and over again
We turn inside out and upside down but in the end
what goes round and round and round will come together again
I dream all day, she tells me I'm lazy
I think she better go now
She don't understand, she's an airhead baby
I'm a legend in my own town
On the cards it's a definite maybe
there's gonna be a showdown
And we go round and round and round and round and over again
We turn inside out and upside down but in the end
what goes round and round and round will come together again
We go round and round and round and round and over again
Sometimes cool, sometimes crazy
I never have a bad day
I stay clear when everything's hazy
I never have a mad day
Do my best, nothing can change me
I gotta do it my way.
'cos we go round and round and round and round and over again
We turn inside out and upside down but in the end
what goes round and round and round will come together again
We go round and round and round and round

Don't hang up your shoes
Just kick out the blues
And rock 'til you drop tonight

Half of the time I could hardly remember my name
So stay with us now
And hang in somehow
And rock 'til you drop tonight
Rock 'til you drop tonight
Rock 'til you drop
We hit all the high spots

Half of the time I could hardly remember my name

And hang in somehow
And rock 'til you drop tonight
All we do
Depends upon you
So rock 'til you drop tonight

Top Status Quo, Reason For Living

I felt in need of some loving
So I sat down on a wall
I tried to find a reason for living
But I couldn't find a reason at all
So I owned up to my maker
And I started to say a prayer
I waited for an answer
But there wasn't anybody there
I thought there should have been someone
But I wasn't quite sure who
It finished me to find there was no-one
That I could take my troubles to
So I knelt down by my bedside
And I started to say a prayer
It was when I asked for nothing
I could feel that there was somebody there
I'm looking still, but it's easy
'cos I know which way to go
It doesn't matter how long it takes me
'cos there's someone there to help me who knows
All the things that I am after
All the loving that I want to share
It's so hard but I don't mind
'cos there really is somebody there
I felt in need of some loving
So I sat down on a wall
I tried to find a reason for living
But I couldn't find a reason at all
So I owned up to my maker
And I started to say a prayer
I waited for an answer
But there wasn't anybody there

I'm livid again
Damn livid again
Believe it or not
Don't like it a lot
It's breaking my heart
This ache in my heart
Oh such is life
Oh rhythm of life

It's how it should be
I'm trying again
I'm flying again
Oh such is life
Oh rhythm of life
No sweat, do I get
Not anymore

Top Status Quo, Railroad

( Rossi / Young )
Railroad she left me standing on a line
Railroad she's really leaving me this time
Leaving on the midnight train
Leaving never gonna come back again
I'm living alone
A place of my own
A bed a chair and one back door
Something went wrong
With the words to my song
And now she ain't around no more
It was something she said
As she laid on my bed
Six or seven hours ago
I guess I was wrong
I really didn't think she would go
Railroad she left me standing on a line
Railroad she's really leaving me this time
Leaving on the midnight train
Leaving never gonna come back again
Her face was always smiling
Guess she was always laughing at me
I said her face was always smiling
Guess she was always laughing at me
If I'd realised
I'd be less suprised
To find that she was laughing at me

Top Status Quo, Over the Edge

You're turning me on
You're driving me crazy

Top Status Quo, Pictures Of Matchstick Men

( Rossi )
When I look up to the skies
I see your eyes a funny kind of yellow
I rush home to bed I soak my head
I see your face underneath my pillow
I wake next morning, tired, still yawning
See your face come peeping through my window
Pictures of matchstick men and you
Mirages of matchstick men and you
All I ever see is them and you
Windows echo your reflection
When I look in their direction now
When will this haunting stop?
Your face it just won't leave me alone
Pictures of matchstick men and you
Mirages of matchstick men and you
All I ever see is them and you
You're in the sky and with the sky
You make men cry, you lie
You're in the sky and with the sky
You make men cry, you lie
Pictures of matchstick men and
Pictures of matchstick men and you
Pictures of matchstick men ....

Top Status Quo, Nanana

Writing songs that I think sound so strange
Writing words that I feel I should change
It's all right if they sound just like other songs
My guitar strums along just the same
If this song's underlined with my name
Nanana na nana na na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na
Playing games that I think may be wrong
Making sounds that can go on and on
It's all right if you stay right on to the end
If my song could've been just a bore
Then I hope you may come back for more
Nanana na nana na na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na...

When you look into a mirror tell me what do you see?

Top Status Quo, One Man Band

( Parfitt / Williams )
When I'm talkin' nothing's getting through
If I'm sreaming it's never clear to you
Can you hear me , am I wasting my time
Am I working in a one man band
When I'm lookin' straight into your eyes
Is there anyone home , you're tellin' me lies
Listen to me , are you wasting my time
It's lonely in a one man band
Lonely in a one man band
Words out of line , don't ever hurt you
Forever crying trying to turn you around
Woh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh
Anticipating what you're gonna do
Still waiting for a sign from you
Come together or we're wasting my time
And I'll always be a one man band

Top Status Quo, Old Time Rock And Roll

( Jackson / Jones )
Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll
Won't go to hear them play a tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky soul
There's only one sure way to get me to go
Start playing old time rock 'n' roll
Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll
Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll
Still like that old time rock 'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll
Soothes the soul
Days of old

Top Status Quo, Memphis Tennessee

( C. Berry )
Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
'cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall
Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the South Side, high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge
Help me, information, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee
The last time I saw Marie, she's waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheek, that trickle from her eye
Marie is only six years old, and information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee

Top Status Quo, Little White Lies

( Parfitt )
You were not home last night
when I called from the hotel
I tried to get you on the line
or were you there with someone
and you couldn't tell me?
Just say it's true and I'll be fine
Why, why, why
are you telling me those little white lies?
I won't buy anymore
Why, why, why
If you keep telling little white lies
I won't try anymore
It's been a long time now
since we were close together
I see the distance in your eyes
There's something wrong
and all you gotta do is tell me
Just shout it out and I'll survive
Why, why, why
are you telling me those little white lies?
I won't buy anymore
Why, why, why
If you keep telling little white lies
I won't try anymore
Now you must think that I believe
every little lie you weave
So let me make it clear
'cos I don't wanna hear no more
Why, why, why
are you telling me those little white lies?
I won't buy anymore
Why, why, why
If you keep telling little white lies
I won't try anymore
You're telling me little white lies
Little white lies

Top Status Quo, Long-Legged Linda

( Parfitt / Bown )
Well, if you're ever in Los Angeles
And you've got time to spare
Take a stroll up Sunset Boulevard
You'll find the Whiskey there
Gliding round the tables
With wounderous natural ease
Serving two-star brandy
Is the body you have to see...all belonging to
Long-legged Linda
She sure was worth the flight
Long-legged Linda is playing the Whiskey
Tonight
Oh don't boogie-woogie with Linda
'Tho she dances like a dream
She acts like she's a thousand
But she's barely sweet sixten
She re-arranged my brain-cells
And took control of me
So if I miss my plain to Jacksonville
You can guess where I'll still be...I'll be diggin'
Long-legged Linda
She sure was worth the flight
Long-legged Linda is playing the Whiskey
TonightShe re-arranged my brain-cells
And took control of me
So if I miss my plain to Jacksonville
You can guess where I'll still be...I'll be diggin'

Top Status Quo, Like A Good Girl

( Rossi / Young )
As I looked across
To where she was before
I didn't have long
To wait around here anymore
We went to a place
That I hadn't seen before
She worked me over
Then she went away
She looked to me like a good girl
I played along like a fool
I paid a lot just to find out
She's no exeption to the rule
As I carried on
Looking here and there
I couldn't believe
She worked it out
And it worked on me
I guessed early on
But it didn't click inside
She knew my weakness
And she knew my nameShe looked to me like a good girl
I played along like a fool
I paid a lot just to find out
She's no exeption to the rule
As I carried on
Looking here and there
I couldn't believe
She worked it out
And it worked on me
We went to a place
That I hadn't seen before
She worked me over
Then she went away
She looked to me like a good girl
I played along like a fool
I paid a lot just to find out
She's no exeption to the rule

Top Status Quo, Little Lady

( Parfitt )
Well I saw my little lady
Walking down the street
And I asked her Where you going to
Well I saw my little lady
Walking down the street
She said she'd found somebody new
Found myself all alone
Ain't no fun on your own
Now I'm like a rolling stone
So I made another lady
And so many more
Didn't really know wich way to go
So I made another lady
And so many more
But no-one did I get to know
Found myself all alone
Ain't no fun on your own
Now I'm like a rolling stoneThen I saw my little lady
Walking down the street
Didn't know where she was going to
So I told my little lady
Walking down the street
Now you know what I've been going through
Found herself all alone
Ain't no fun on your own
Living like a rolling stone
I was like a rolling
I was like a rolling stone

Top Status Quo, Like It Or Not

Isn't it more the way you do it than the way that you look?
Isn't it in the way you use it, not the lessons you took?
Isn't it time you started asking what goes on in your mind?
You won't take no for an answer
Nobody could tell you your place
They'd better not turn round and tell ya
Even if it's straight to your face
I ain't lonely but I'm happy if it makes you feel good
But it's no way, it's a fool's way, it'll end up no good
Isn't it more the way you do it than the way that you look?
Isn't it in the way you use it, not the lessons you took?
Isn't it time you started asking what goes on in your mind?
This is the way I want to do it whether you like it or not
This is the way I gotta tell you and I ain't gonna stop
Baby I should have let you find it out, but in your own time
So don't be scared of the future
Everything is looking real fine
I think my way's gonna suit ya
But only if you're gonna stay mine
And you could do, and you should do, it'll make you feel fine
'Cos the best way is the best way, and we'll make it on time
Well I've been really, really wondering am I losing my mind?
Why do we do the things we shouldn't do? We'd rather be fine
We're in a sticky situation and you really don't mind.
This is the way I want to do it whether you like it or not
This is the way I gotta tell you and I ain't gonna stop
Baby I should have let you find it out, but in your own time
And you could do, and you should do, it'll make you feel fine
'Cos the best way is the best way, and we'll make it on time
Isn't it more the way you do it than the way that you look?

Top Status Quo, Like A Zombie

( Rossi / Frost )
Couldn't see my funny side
As far as I recall
And it didn't mean much to me
Carried on messing round
And getting lower every day
And then a little while later
Looking for a way
To get ahead of all the ups and downs
On the road, back at home
It didn't matter much to me
Running round every corner
Walk around every street
Running round like a madman
Run yourself off your feet
Walk about like a zombie
Run about like a freak
Running round like a maniac
Flipping out every week
Well I just gotta get away
As far as I can go
And as long as I don't see you there
Turn around, look again
What is happening to me?
Well am I getting paranoid
Or maybe superstition
Is making me feel this way
Checking in, checking out
I seem to do it every day
Running round every corner
Walk around every street
Running round like a madman
Run yourself off your feet
Walk about like a zombie
Run about like a freak
Running round like a maniac
Flipping out every week
Now I've been working on the road
As long as I recall
And it's feeling like yesterday
Giggling, travelling
And getting better every day
Well I was getting paranoid
Or maybe superstition
Was making me feel this way
Checking in, checking out
I seem to do it every day
Running round every corner
Walk around every street
Running round like a madman
Run yourself off your feet
Walk about like a zombie
Run about like a freak
Running round like a maniac
Flipping out every week
Running round every corner
Walk around every street
Running round like a madman
Run yourself off your feet
Walk about like a zombie
Run about like a freak
Running round like a maniac
Flipping out every week

( Rossi / Frost )
Just jealousy, my jealousy
Is what you see doing me
Jealous of me, such jealousy
It shouldn't be - leave me alone
Time is running out, out runs the time
I waste it on my own
But don't think I'm alone
Oh no, not again, I won't reply
I can't stay on the phone

I really did think that problem was solved
But it is not
Just jealousy, my jealousy
Is what you see doing me
Jealous of me, such jealousy
It shouldn't be - leave me aloneI've got another one, listen to me
And don't get all hung on
To things I have done wrong
Oh no, not again, I won't reply
It's only how I feel
It sometimes seems unreal
But everybody gets there once in a while
Are you wishing?
Just jealousy, my jealousy
Is what you see doing me
Jealous of me, such jealousy
It shouldn't be - leave me alone
Just jealousy, my jealousy
Is what you see doing me
Jealous of me, such jealousy
It shouldn't be - leave me alone

Top Status Quo, Ice In The Sun

I'm not a little boy
I've lived alone and loved so many more
But when she touches me I'm on the way
I'm underneath the floor
Like ice in the sun I melt away
Whenever she comes I melt away
Like ice in the sun I melt away
I sit down in a chair and
Read a book as if I couldn't there
But she is in a room and
I must look I see her everywhere
Like ice in the sun I melt away
Whenever she comes I melt away
Like ice in the sun I melt away
She opens up her eyes as if to speak
She looks at me and I am weak
Her eyes they seem much bigger than before
I cannot think anymore
Like ice in the sun I melt away
Whenever she comes I melt away
Like ice in the sun I melt away
Like ice in the sun I melt away
Whenever she comes I melt away
Like ice in the sun I melt away
Like ice in the sun I melt away
Whenever she comes I melt away

Top Status Quo, I Didn't Mean It

( John David )
When you say those words, those three little words
You're in at the deep end
Give up the night times, give up the high times
Give up the weekend
Give up the chance to be your own man
Let the feeling take over
The only way out is to lie if you can
But you don't have the knack
And you'll come crawling back, saying
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what I said when I said I didn't mean it
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what I said it was only a game
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, I didn't mean it
I felt tied down, my pride down
That I put that lie down
The prize now for you is me
Well I was like you and all I could do was
Give up and surrender
The people can trace what they did in my face
But they're just pretenders
They told me mercenary action today
Is a line as simple and pure
But what if you found you made a mistake
The medicine's worse than the cure
And you'll be back for sure, saying
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what I said when I said I didn't mean it
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what I said it was only a game
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, I didn't mean it
I felt tied down, my pride down
That I put that lie down
The prize now for you is me
Give up the chance to be your own man
Let the feeling take over
The only way out is to lie if you can
But you don't have the knack
And you'll come crawling back, saying
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what I said when I said I didn't mean it
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what I said it was only a game

I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, I didn't mean it
I felt tied down, my pride down
That I put that lie down
The prize now for you is me

I'm gonna ease your mind, I'm gonna write a line
And write a letter to you
I'm gonna let you know that I'll be coming home
And make it better with you
I sang a sad lullaby
I left you all alone to cry
Well I need you, oh my
Just to sing a lullaby

And make it better with you
It's such a crying shame I had to break away
To find the same old road
But now I'm getting wise, and I've realised
That that's a the way that it goes
So put a smile upon your face
Let me know I've found my place
We've got no time to waste
'Cos all the time for heaven's late
Now don't you be afraid, it's gonna be the same
I'll make it better with you
I'm gonna ease your mind, I'm gonna write a line
And write a letter to you
I'm gonna let you know that I'll be coming home
And make it better with you
I sang a sad lullaby
I left you all alone to cry
Well I need you, oh my
Just to sing a lullaby
It won't be very long before I right my wrongs
And make it better with you

Top Status Quo, Softer Ride

( Lancaster / Parfitt )
I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more
Stay in bed
Til' I'm satisfied
And let my head
Take a softer ride
I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more
I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more
Find me a schack
Where it's cool inside
Turn my back
On the cold outside
I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no moreI could go back
To the job I had
But the same old thing
Only drives me mad, so
I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more
Never again
Will I have to be..down
I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more
Stay in bed
Til' I'm satisfied
And let my head
Take a softer ride
I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more

Top Status Quo, Confidence

( Bown )
All she needs is a little confidence
All she knows is to run and hide
Through a lifetime of knocking back
Oh don't do this you can't do that
But she never learned to interact
All she needs is confidence
All she learned was a little self-defence
Looking out over number one
She's been diving and ducking round
In and out the lost and found
But it never laid her to the ground
All she needs is something to believe
Sweet security
All she needs tries so hard to please
But all she really all she really needs
Is confidence
No chance of keeping her close to me
No sense abusing her liberty
Through a lifetime of knocking back
Oh don't do this you can't do that
But she never learned to interact
All she needs is something to believe
Sweet security
All she needs tries so hard to please
All she really all she really needs
Is confidence

Top Status Quo, Don't Drive My Car

Ah ah ah ah, don't drive my car
I'm just a boy, my favourite toy
And I'm telling you woman
Don't push me too far
I'm telling you straight, don't drive my car
Ah ah ah ah, don't drive my car
Stay where you are, stay where you are
'Cos I'm telling you woman
Now don't you push me too far
I'm telling you straight, don't drive my car
And I'm telling you woman
Now don't you push me too far
I'm telling you straight, don't drive my car
And I'm telling you woman
Now don't you push me too far

Top Status Quo, Diggin Burt Bacharach

I got two black eyes
A nasty cut on my nose
A real funny feeling
From my head to my toes
But does she care
No she don't care
No she don't care
But she loves me just the same
Blind date, overweight
Made me late, I couldn't navigate
Red wine, white wine
Rise and shine I got to draw the line
Black jack clap trap
Any kind of flap trap
Big mac, lookin' back
Diggin' burt bacharach oh
We're in a black limousine
And onto a plane
Into the hotel
Missin' breakfast again
But does she care
No she don't care
No she don't care
But she loves me just the same
Contemplate my watergate
Two and eight, I didn't hesitate
Day time, night time
Underline, I gotta draw the line
Blackjack clap trap
Any kind of flap trap
Big mac lookin' back

Top Status Quo, Crawling From The Wreckage

( G. Parker )
Got out really early from the factory
Driving like a nut in the rain
Don't think I was acting so hysterically
But I didn't see a thing until it came
Man the drunks were verbal in the takeaway
Beating up the chinese at the counter
I put a few inside me
At the end of the day
I took out my revenge
On the revolution counter
Crawling from the wreckage
Crawling from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that
Half my brain would get the message
Crawling from the wreckage
Crawling from the wreckage
Into a brand new car
In walks Bud with his exploding nose
He'd been giving it maximum today
He shouted how the devil
You in trouble I suppose
But all you ever do is run away
Turned up the motor into hyper-drive
I wasn't gonna take any of that
Don't get bright ideas about a suicide
'cause all I ever hear
Is zoom wam bam past me
Crawling from the wreckage
Crawling from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that
Half my brain would get the message
Crawling from the wreckage
Crawling from the wreckage
Into a brand new car
Crawling, crawling, crawling from the wreckage
Crawling, crawling, crawling from the wreckage
Crawling, crawling, crawling from the wreckage
Crawling from the wreckage
Crawling from the wreckage
Bits of me are scattered
In the trees and in the hedges
Crawling from the wreckage
Crawling from the wreckage
Into a brand new car
Nothing seem to happen that ain't happened before
I see it all through flashes of depression
I dry up my drink and hear
People running for the door
God I make some kind of impression
'cause when I'm disconnected from the driving wheel
I'm only half the man I should be
But metal hitting metal isn't all I feel
And everything is good as
It possible could be
Crawling from the wreckage
Crawling from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that
Half my brain would get the message
Crawling from the wreckage
Crawling from the wreckage
Into a brand new car
Crawling from the wreckage
Crawling from the wreckage
Bits of me are scattered
In the trees and in the hedges
Crawling from the wreckage
Crawling from the wreckage
Into a brand new car
Crawling from the wreckage
Crawling from the wreckage
Crawling, crawling
Crawling from the wreckage

Top Status Quo, Claudie

( Rossi / Young )
It's so long since I sang songs to you
I forget all the words I once knew
I could look back
But I can't waste the time
Did it matter
They sometimes didn't rhyme
It's so long since I sang songs for you
It's so long since you smile just for me
Now your smile's just an old use to be
Does it matter
That I can take the time
Would you rather
I write you one more line
Can my songs once again be for you
Claudie made a fool out of me
Made me find another place to be
I've been living alone
In a house that wasn't my home
With Claudie is the place I want to beWhen I left did you think of me crying
Did you care that I felt I was dying
I pretended
That I don't give a damn
All along
I've know what I really am
I'm a fool little Claudie just for you
Claudie made a fool out of me
Made me find another place to be
I've been living alone
In a house that wasn't my home
With Claudie is the place I want to be

Top Status Quo, Caroline

( Rossi / Bown - Copyright Control )
You messed up all of my plans
You gave zip, took with both hands

Top Status Quo, Blue Eyed Lady

Little blue eyed lady, how come you're all alone?
I've been asking, no-one seems to know
To whom do you belong little blue eyed lady?
The band are really moving, everyone is grooving around
Little lady, you're still sitting down
Excuse me if you will, little blue eyed lady
The party's nearly over, your eyes still read the same
Are you looking for one who never came?
Are you a passing cloud or a new found baby?
Little new found baby, how come you're all alone?
I've been asking, no-one seems to know

Top Status Quo, Can't Be Done

( Rossi / Frost )
Everywhere I dare to go, the corners that I turn
I'm sure to see a face I know, someone who doesn't earn
That's all I ever get to hear is other people's woe
Let's climb into a rocket and we'll press the one and go
Although they say it can't be done
Don't say to me it can't be done
Looking how we used to be, the way and what we wore
The things we hoped the future held but always wanted more
If God had meant for man to fly he would have given wings
He didn't, so we have to make the best of everything
So let's not say it can't be done
Although they say it can't be done
Don't say to me everybody says it can't be done
That there ain't no chance at all
Anybody can be right or wrong
When there ain't no chance at all
Half the world is in a mess, the other half as well
I've got a feelin' strange to me I wish that I could tell
It won't be long before we push the button I am sure
So throw away the key when I am locked behind the door
You're telling me it can't be done
Stop telling me it can't be done
Don't say to me everybody says it can't be done
That there ain't no chance at all
Anybody can be right or wrong
When there ain't no chance at all
Half the world is in a mess, the other half as well
I've got a feelin' strange to me I wish that I could tell
It won't be long before we push the button I am sure
So throw away the key when I am locked behind the door
You're telling me it can't be done
Stop telling me it can't be done
Let's pray and pray it can be done
Just pray and pray it can be done
It can be done
It can be done
It can be done

Top Status Quo, Broken Man

( Lancaster )
Sitting by a broken window
Up in a back room swallowing wine
Gazing down a backstreet garden
With my bed chair table and wine
Looks like I'm going no where but no where's where I am
Guess I'll always be a backstreet broken man
Oooh broken man, oh yeah, broken man
Calling out my name and number
As I was walking out of my cell
Louie gave me back my wallet
He nearly dropped my picture of Nell
Drinking gets you nowhere but nowhere's where I am
Guess I'll always be a backstreet broken man
Oooh broken man, oh yeah, backstreet broken manEarly on a Sunday morning
As I was walking on down the lane
Someone said, I beg your pardon
And I was sure I knew her name
She was going somewhere but nowhere's where I ran
Guess I'll always be a backstreet broken man
Oooh that's where I am
Guess I'm gonna stay a backstreet broken man

Top Status Quo, Burning Bridges

( Rossi / Bown )
Building dreams has always been my way
Making time and living for the day
Burning bridges never made me cry
I could walk away with no goodbye
Easy take or easy leave them all
'til you scratch the writing on the wall
It's on and off and on again
Going on and then
Taking all I got again
Bleeding me leaving me dry
You're hanging on for what you can
Dragging out the pain
Taking all I give again
Fakin it making me cryOne day someday I may slide away
Turn around and call it all a day
Even though I fooled myself for years
I can't escape this ringing in my ears
It's on and off and on again
Going on and then
Taking all I got again
Bleeding me leaving me dry
You're hanging on for what you can
Dragging out the pain
Taking all I give again
Fakin it making me cry

Top Status Quo, BLUE FOR YOU

( Lancaster )
When I get old and find the time
I'll paint a picture about my life
I'll paint it blue for you, I'll paint it blue for you
You gave me love, a love so strong
I treated you so bad, I treated you wrong
Now I want to show, I feel so low, I'm blue for you
When I was younger I tried so hard
To find a good woman and give her my love
I found a woman sweet as can be, I found a woman for me
I didn't know I had the world
I was still looking for ways to your love
Now that I know, I feel so low, I'm blue for youCheatin' and lyin', I played around
Livin' and dyin', you stood your ground
Cheatin' and lyin', you knew so well
There's no good denying, you know me too well
When I'm alone I realise
Your eyes were smilin' but deep inside
I saw the blue in you, everything blue for you
You gave me love, a love so strong
I treated you so bad, I treated you wrong
Now I want to show, I feel so low, I'm blue for you
Feel so low, I'm blue for you
I feel so low I'm blue for you

Top Status Quo, Break The Rules

Rossi/Young/Parfitt/Lancaster/Coghlan - Valley Music/Status Quo Publishing
Spent a long, long evening in a low down honky-tonk bar
Pulled a low down lady with a long black honky-tonk car
I asked no questions, I got no lies
A one off winner, I didn't want any ties
And I knew it wasn't right
Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules
Took me down on the highway doing too many miles an hour
And by the way she motored thought we might have made the Eiffel Tower
She stopped the motor by her own front door
I knew she'd done it so many times before
But I was off of the floor
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules
I woke up next morning feeling kind of up and down
'Cos I did not know if I was in or out of the town
Then I saw the face from the night before
My purse was empty lying there on the floor
But like I told you before
That, everybody has to sometimes break the rules
I spend a low down evening sitting high on a honky-tonk stool
And I spent my money like a low down honky-tonk fool
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules
Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules
Yes, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

Top Status Quo, 1000 Years

I can't wait to say all the things I want to say
You don't help at all, thinking I am just a fool
But one has changed and one remains, going on
Even if it takes a thousand years or more
Even if we cried a thousand tears, I'm sure
We'd still want more and more
Just the other day taking love you won't repay
Where's the give and take? Tell me why the sudden heartache?
The emptiness and loneliness say it all
Even if it takes a thousand years or more
Even if we cried a thousand tears, I'm sure
We'd still want more and more
Walked all over me, played around with my heart
Who knows where or when from the middle through until the end?
An easy touch, you knew as much all along
Even if it takes a thousand years or more
Even if we cried a thousand tears, I'm sure
We'd still want more and more

Top Status Quo, Big Fat Mama

( Rossi / Parfitt )
Say you need me, say you need me
Tell me that you want my love
Say you will be mine and I am yours
You think that you're way above me
I'm telling you that I can see
All those things that you might wanna be
I am yours tonight
You be mine tonight
You keep telling me you're not having me
I'm telling you that I can see
All the things that you might wanna be
Say you need me, say you need me
Tell me that you want my love
Say will be mine and I am yours
I am yours tonight
You be mine tonight
I got a big fat Mama
With a big fat boy
Really thinks she's something else
But I love that woman
Like fish loves the water
And there is nobody else
I'm gonna tell you woman better do as you're told
If you don't, I'm gonna bringing you down
I've got a big fat Mama
And there's no one else aroundI said say you need me
Come on and say you need me
I said say you need me
Say you need me
Come on and say you need me
I said say you need me

Top Status Quo, Backwater

( Parfitt / Lancaster )
Down at Backwater junction
Rolling down the line
In the dark early morning
I heard the one-forty-nine
I was walking down the highway
Needed somewhere to go
A lady laid beside me
And she invited me home
She led me cold, tired and hungry
Down the backwater road
In a house on the corner
looking over the track
I woke up with a fever
And a pain in my back
She was lying there beside me
My fever started to grow
Had a funny feeling
But the lady said no
The lover needs a doctor
Down the Backwater RoadWhatcha' lookin' for
Whatcha' lookin' for
Lady do you know whatcha' lookin' for
Was I wrong to play along
Lady was I right or lady was I wrong
Backwater doctor
You've got me breathing in time
It's ten-thirty in the morning
And I'm feeling alright
I went back to my lady
But I wasn't to know
Lady left this morning
And she's not coming home
I was cold when she left me
Down the Backwater Road

Top Status Quo, Back On My Feet

( Rossi / Frost )
I'm back on my feet again I'm flying high
Watching my back again or I could die
When we're up there flying
And it all seems fine
Half the time we're trying
Trying hard what a fool
Saying anything to raze it all
But I'm back on my feet again I'm flying high
Watching my back again or I could die
Is it down to timing
Get it right first time
'Cos it's so exciting
Keeping on with the flow
Giving everybody such a show
But I'm back on my feet again, I'm flying high
Watching my back again or I could die
Out on the street again I'm riding high
Worried 'bout anything that passes by
It's not a nightmare or a dream
It's not the first time that it's been
I'm back on my feet again I'm flying high
Watching my back again or I could die
So it's time to work out
What is going on
So you'd best not freak out
Lose your mind lose your cool
It's the quickest way to end it all
But I'm back on my feet again I'm flying high
Watching my back again or I could die
Out on the street again I'm riding high
Worried 'bout anything that passes by
Back on my feet again I'm flying high
Watching my back again or I could die

Top Status Quo, Baby Boy

When I was a little baby boy
Just to sit and play would be my joy
Now I'm oh so big and I'm oh so strong
How I wish to be where I once belonged
When I was an older baby boy
All the girls I wanted were my joy
I would drink my wine, wouldn't miss a night
How I wish that someone had put me right
When I was an older boy
When I was an older boy
When I was an older boy
When I was an older lady's toy
Thoughts of lust and wealth were now my joy
And the years gone by are so far behind
But the memories are still in my mind
When I was a lady's boy
When I was a lady's boy
When I was a lady's boy
When I was a little baby boy
Just to sit and play would be my joy
Now I'm oh so big and I'm oh so strong
How I wish to be where I once belonged
When I was a baby boy
When I was a baby boy
When I was a baby boy

Top Status Quo, Another Day

( Rossi / Young )
You never listen when I say
Only need another day
You never listen when I tell you what I tell you
I'm thinking what I'm thinkin'
Need a little time to keep the motor tickin' over now
Only need another day
Gotta find another way
We got a problem cos I don't know what you're thinkin'
You don't care what I'm feelin'
We better work it out or else there's gonna be a showdown now
Why do you do what you do to me?
You got no clue what you do to me
Try to say but you couldn't see
What do come don't come easily
Only need another day
But it comes and it goes and everybody knows
That I don't like it, no I don't like it
And when it flows and when it starts to go
Then I like it, I sure do like it
I hope the day never comes you throw it all away
I only need another day
You never listen when I
You never listen when I say
I only need another day
You never listen when i tell you what I tell you
I'm thinking what I'm thinkin'
I need a little time to keep the motor tickin' over now
I don't believe that we can't agree
But I ain't letting that bother me
I tried to say but you couldn't see
What do come should come easily
I only need another day
But it comes and it goes and everybody knows
That I don't like it, no I don't like it
And when it flows and when it starts to go
Then I like it, I sure do like it
I hope the day never comes you throw it all away
Another day, I need another day
another day, I need another day
Another day, I need another day

RED RIVER ROCK
NO PARTICULAR PLACE TO GO
Riding along in my automobile
My baby beside me at the wheel
I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile
My curiosity's running wild
Cruisin' and playin' the radio
With no particular place to go
Riding along with my collar loose
Still trying to get her belt a-loose
All the way home I held a grudge
But the safety belt it wouldn't budge
Cruisin' and playin' the radio
With no particular place to go
THE WANDERER
Well I'm the type of guy who will never settle down
Where pretty girls are well you know that I'm around
I kiss 'em and I love 'em 'cos to me their all the same
I hug 'em and I squeeze them, they don't even know my name
They call me the Wanderer, yeah the Wanderer
I roam around and round and round and round and round
They call me the Wanderer, yeah the Wanderer
I roam around and round and round and round and round
I HEAR YOU KNOCKING
You went away and left me long time ago
And now you're knocking on my door
I hear you knocking but you can't come in
I hear you knocking go back where you been
I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
Now you're tellin' all your lies
I hear you knocking but you can't come in
I hear you knocking go back where you been
LUCILLE
Lucille you don't do your Daddy's will
Lucille you don't do your Daddy's will
Ain't nothing to you but I love you still
I woke up this morning, Lucille was not in sight
Asked my friends about her, all their lips were tight
Lucille you don't do your Daddy's will
Ain't nothing to you but I love you still
GREAT BALLS OF FIRE
You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, oh what a thrill
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire
Kiss me baby, it feels good
Hold me baby, well I wanna love you like a lover should
You're fine, so kind
I gotta tell this world that you're mine, mine, mine, mine
I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I feel embarrassed but it sure is fun
Come on baby, you drive me crazy
Goodness gracious great balls of fire.

Top Status Quo, All The Reasons

When I find myself in trouble and I need someone to lean on
I only have to call and you're right there by my side
When I can't see all the reasons why you have to be so far away

And I can't help my feelings and I can't hide my love for you
And I'll always believe in all the things that you want me to
When you're telling me not to worry 'cos you're being there won't be long
I only live in hope that you just can't be wrong
Because I can't help my feelings and I can't hide my love for you
And I'll always believe in all the things that you want me to
And I can't help my feelings and I can't hide my love for you
And I'll always believe in all the things that you want me to

All around my hat
I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat
For a twelve month and a day
And if anyone should ask me
The reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love
Who's far far away
Fare thee well cold winter
And fare thee well cold frost
Nothing have I gained
But my own true love I've lost
I'll sing and I'll be merry
When on occasion I do see
She's a false deluded young girl
Let here go farewell she
And all around my hat
I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat
For a twelve month and a day
And if anyone should ask me
The reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love
Who's far far away
The other night she brought me
A fine diamond ring but,
She thought to have deprived me
Of a far better thing
But I being careful
As lovers ought to be
She's a false deluded young girl
Let her go farewell she
And all around my hat
I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat
For a twelve month and a day
And if anyone should ask me
The reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love
Who's far far away
All around my hat
I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat
For a twelve month and a day
And if anyone should ask me
The reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love
Who's far far away

Top Status Quo, A Mess Of Blues

( Pomus / Shuman )
I just got your letter baby, too bad you can't come home
I swear I'm going crazy, sitting here all alone
Since you gone I got a mess of the blues
Whoops there goes a tear drop, a-rolling down my face
And if you cry when you're alone it's surely no disgrace
I ain't slept a wink since Sunday, I can't eat a thing all day
And every day is just Blue Monday since you've been away
Since you gone I got a mess of the blues
Whoops there goes a tear drop, a rolling down my face
And if you cry when you're alone it's surely no disgrace
I gotta get myself together before I lose my mind
I'm gonna catch-a the next train going, and leave my blues behind
Since you gone I got a mess of the blues
I gotta get myself together before I lose my mind
I'm gonna catch-a the next train going, and leave my blues behind
Since you gone I got a mess of the blues
Since you gone I got a mess of the blues
Since you gone I got a mess of the blues

Top Status Quo, Address Book

Throw away your old address book of the guys you used to know
Get all dressed up in your best look, I'll take you to the movie show
You look lovely when you're angry, but I love the way you smile
We could while away the hours, or we could walk another mile
My darling don't you ever change, don't think I'd be quite the same
I thought I was in control, I thought I was in control
If I knew then what I know now of the chances at the time
Didn't know that I'd be missing a chance to lay it on the line
I could have asked you if you needed, or maybe wanted, to get out
But it didn't really matter, we got together anyhow
My darling don't you ever change, don't think I'd be quite the same
I thought I was in control, I thought I was in control
Threw away your old address book, took a while to realise
You'd be better off with someone, what I mean is me and mine
So whatya doing at the weekend? Shall we make it Friday night?
Anywhere you fancy going, and any way with me's all right
My darling don't you ever change, don't think I'd be quite the same
I thought I was in control, I thought I was in control
My darling don't you ever change, don't think I'd be quite the same
I thought I was in control, I thought I was in control

Top Status Quo, A Year

( Lancaster / Frost )
Standing by the wayside, begging for a ride
I been waiting so long, a year has gone
Look at all the people, strangers every one
I've been looking so long, a year has gone
You were all I lived for, I guess my life is through
I've been living so long, I can't go on
Lonely Sunday morning, rest in peace, my love
You been sleeping so long, a year has gone
How could I ever start to tell you
The end is almost here?
The song of love is ringing in my ears
Playing loud, playing clear
The song will never change
The memory will always be so near
Standing by the wayside, begging for a ride
I been waiting so long, a year has gone

Top Status Quo, Tango

When I look at you something isn't true
What am I to do? Where am I to go?
When I find a way to take the blues away
What a funny day, what a funny world
And then it all just rolls on and on
It's like an echo echoing on
When you look at me what is it you see?
What are you to do? How are we to know?
If there is a way to chase the blues away
Tell me mow, today, sooner as you can
But it still rolls on and on
Just like an echo echoing on
Take me away, take me today
Find me a room, find me a view
If it's to be surely you see
Used to be you, used to be me
When I look at you something isn't true
What am I to do? Where am I to go?
When I find a way to take the blues away
Tell me mow, today, sooner as you can
But it still rolls on and on
Just like an echo echoing on

Top Status Quo, Not At All

Might say yes, might say no
It's like watching the river flow
Might be shallow, may be deep
I won't lose any sleep, no, oh no
Not at all will I take a fall for you
Not at all 'cos you want it all
And you try it on like a sad old song
Don't you think it's wrong
How you carry on and on?
I won't worry, I won't fret
Are you really that lonely yet?
If you listen, what you hear
Is it somebody saying so, oh no
Not at all will I take a fall for you
Not at all 'cos you want it all
And you try it on like a sad old song
Don't you think it's wrong
How you carry on and on?
Not at all will I take a fall for you
Not at all 'cos you want it all
And you try it on like a sad old song
Don't you think it's wrong
How you carry on?
Not at all will I take a fall for you
Not at all 'cos you want it all
And you try it on like a sad old song
Don't you think it's wrong
How you carry on?
Not at all

Top Status Quo, Your Smiling Face

I would not lie, I've apologised
'Til my face is turning blue
But I just can't get the message through to you
It was all a joke, and we hardly spoke
She was the sister of a friend
And I promise you I won't see her again.
Oh I would not lie 'cos I could not try to fool you
Oh I would not lie 'cos I could not stand to lose you
I know we made mistakes, had some minor breaks
But the song remains the same
And I need to see your smiling face again
Won't you stay for another day
Or maybe another night
Can't you understand that you make me feel alright?
I act uncool but I'm nobody's fool
And you know I'll see you right
Yeah, I promise you I'll make you smile tonight
Oh I would not lie 'cos I could not try to fool you
Oh I would not lie 'cos I could not stand to lose you
I know we made mistakes, had some minor breaks
But the song remains the same
And I need to see your smiling face again
Oh I would not lie 'cos I could not try to fool you
Oh I would not lie 'cos I could not stand to lose you
I know we made mistakes, had some minor breaks
But the song remains the same
And I need to see your smiling face again

Top Status Quo, Rave On

( Petty / Tilghman / West )
Well, the little things you say and do
Make me want to be with you
Rave on, it's a crazy feelin' and
I know it's got me reelin'
When you say I love you

Top Status Quo, Who Gets The Love

I've spent a lifetime running after you
But listen woman, everything must change
It's time you found yourself some other fool you can blame
You had me figured as the spineless one
Who'd be there waiting when you'd had your fun
But now's the time I feel I should be cool
What a shame, what a shame
Who gets the love that we no longer share?
Who gets to hold you close when I'm not there?
Whose heart is filling up, I'm asking you
Who gets the love?
So many times you said I made you cry
That's not the truth it's just an alibi
And I'm not planning to be number two, won't play your game.
I've often wondered after love has gone
Where do we find the strength to carry on?
And where's that someone that our love supplies
And what's their name? What a shame.
Who gets the love that we no longer share?
Who gets to hold you close when I'm not there?
Whose heart is filling up, I'm asking you
Who gets the love?
Before we give in are we really sure
We're giving love that we don't need no more?
There ain't a chance that we might get together again, oh no
Who gets the love that we no longer share?
Who gets to hold you close when I'm not there?
Whose heart is filling up, I'm asking you
Who gets the love?
Who gets the love that we no longer share?
Who gets to hold you close when I'm not there?
Whose heart is filling up, I'm asking you
Who gets the love?

Top Status Quo, When You Walk In The Room

I can feel a new expression on my face
I can feel a glowing sensation taking place
I can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes
Every time that you walk in the room
I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want
Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant
I feel the summer's night with a magic moon
Every time that you walk in the room
Baby it's a dream come true
Standing right alongside of you
Wish I could tell you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare
I can feel there's something pounding in my brain
Just anytime that someone speaks your name
Trumpets sound and I hear thunder boom
Every time that you
Every time that you
Every time that you walk in the room
Walk in the room
Walk in the room
Walk in the room

Top Status Quo, Way Down

( Martine )
Babe, you're getting closer
The lights are goin' dim
The sound of your breathin'
Has made the mood I'm in
All of my resistance
Is lying on the floor
Its taking me to places
I've never been before
And I can feel it
Feel it, feel it, feel it
Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down, way, way on down
Ooh, my head is spinnin'
You got me in your spell
A hundred magic fingers
On a whirling carousel
The medicine within me
No doctor could prescribe
Your love is doing something
That I just can't describe
And I can feel it
Feel it, feel it, feel it
Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down
Hold me again
Tight as you can
I need you so
Baby, let's go
Way down where it feels so good
Way down where I hoped it would
Way down where I never could
Way down
Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down, down

Top Status Quo, Under the influence

( Rossi / Frost )
On a train to nowhere in another nightmare
In a dream about falling for someone and taking her back to my room
Tangled up in her hair
and believing everything goes and then anything more is alright
On a road to somewhere
where it goes I don't care
but it keeps on winding and winding and winding away
Sitting next to me are lovely senoritas
reality way in the back of my mind
I'm under the influence I find it's all in my mind
and under the influence the blind will lead the blind
Thunder and lightning in my head but only in bed
I'm under the influence of something from the blue
When I wake a new day, on a better do day
But the dreams keep calling and calling and calling me back
Definitely no no
need a new amigo to help me get my reality right
I'm under the influence I find it's all in my mind
and under the influence the blind will lead the blind
Thunder and lightning in my head but only in bed
I'm under the influence of something from the blue
What the hell will I do?
Facing up to tell you
Will I be breaking the ice and falling through?
Definitely no no
Found need a new amigo to help me get my reality right
I'm under the influence I find it's all in my mind
and under the influence the blind will lead the blind
Thunder and lightning in my head but only in bed
I'm under the influence of something from the blue
I'm under the influence of something from the blue

Top Status Quo, Tommys In Love

Heavens above, his mother would say
My Tommy's in love, he's moody all day
He's out of his mind, suspended in time
But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
Listen to me, his mother would say
You're young and in love, it won't last that way
You're only a boy, you'll grow up in time
But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
Tommy's in love, he's always that way
Whatever he does, if only he'd say
He's feeling so fine, she's looking so sweet
But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries alibis then he tries to explain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

Top Status Quo, The Way It Goes

( Rossi / Frost )
Living isn't easy, feeling bright and breezy,
Everybody has to try
Seeing and believing, never show the reason why
Even when we grow up, and the body slow up, no no no
We think again but do we understand?
That's the way it goes
Everybody knows
that you can't survive if you ain't got drive
Those velvet wings can't help you fly
Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by
but you must carry on
People try and tell you anything they want to,
saying that it's only fun
When they got you looking down the barrel of a gun
Never if we know it are we gonna blow it, no no no
we think again and so we understand
That's the way it goes
Everybody knows
that you can't survive if you ain't got drive
Those velvet wings can't help you fly
Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by
but you must carry on
I haven't told any secrets
I swore not to tell any lies
Something inside me is saying
That's the way it goes
That's the way it goes
Those velvet wings can't help you fly
Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by
But you must carry on
That's the way it goes
Everybody knows
that you can't survive if you ain't got drive
Those velvet wings can't help you fly
Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by
but you must carry on
Those velvet wings can't help you fly
Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by
but you must carry on

Top Status Quo, Stones

( Lancaster )
I'm moving on, I don't know where
But, I've just gotta get me away, from here
So long gone, I'm lost in time
Looking for an answer, waiting for a sign
Stones in my head, stones in my head
I don't know how to break stones in my head
I'm reaching out, I don't feel a thing
The gloves, that I'm wearing are made of my skin
No-one knows what I'm tryin' to hide
But when I start breaking you'll see through my eyes
Stones in my head, stones in my head
I'm trying hard to break stones in my head
It's cold out here, still I'm feeling fine
'cos no one's gonna ask me to come on inside
I don't wanna know but I guess I do
'cos maybe these stones are made out of you
Stones in my head, stones in my head
I really wanna break stones in my head
I'm moving on, I don't know where
But, I've just gotta get me away, from here
So long gone, I'm lost in time
Looking for an answer, waiting for a sign
Stones in my head, stones in my head
I don't know how to break stones in my head
Stones in my head, stones in my head
I really want to break stones in my head

Top Status Quo, Soft In The Head

Soft In The Head
( Rossi / Frost )
Soft in the head, I must be soft in the head
Out of my head, I'm probably out of my head
Things that I said are only things that I said
Soft in the head I must be
Out of my head, I must be out of my head
Soft in the head I must be
I've never been so worried 'bout the things I do
I've never thought of people, I'm a liar too
So won't you listen to me and the things I say
Maybe you'll go home one day
And if I leave you thinking 'bout the things you do
And I leave you looking for an answer too
Such a silly question that I ever knew
Daddy, why these holes so deep?
But I don't believe in not believing in miracles
Anything could happen now
We all need a guiding light in the alleyway
Funny how it all works out
Funny how it all works out
Soft in the head, I must be soft in the head
Out of my head, I'm probably out of my head
Things that I said are only things that I said
Soft in the head I must be
Out of my head, I must be out of my head
Soft in the head I must be
I've got a great big problem that I can't work out
I've got a bunch of people gonna wear me out
Got a funny feeling it's all in the air
We're all going home one day
But I don't believe in not believing in miracles
Anything could happen now
We all need a guiding light in the alleyway
Funny how it all works out
But I don't believe in not believing in miracles
Anything could happen now
We all need a guiding light in the alleyway
Funny how it all works out

Top Status Quo, Sherri Don't Fail Me Now

( Bown / Edwards )
Got a mess in my backyard
I'm gonna clean it all up
Stop a-doing things backwards
Start struttin 'my stuff
Oh now the time has come to change
Strawberry fields
Kicking my heels
Losing my place
And forgetting my name
There's a cupboard in my room
I got a skeleton key
Gonna crack it wide open
Stop 'em following me
Oh now it's time to change it all
The gohst's still there
I'm tearing my hair
Chewing my nails
And I'm climbing the walls
But it's alright
If I got a problem
You got all the answers
Stay this night
I'll make it up to you
In some way somehow
Oh but Sherri don't fail me now
Gonna get a black spotlight
Gonna stage a new plan
Gonna wash away the bloodstains
Stop scrubbing my hands
Oh no but here it comes again
A dirty sea
Is swallowing me
I'm fighting for air
On the dangerous bends
But it's alright
If I got a problem
You got all the answers
Stay this night
I'll make it up to you
In some way somehow
Oh but Sherri don't fail me now
But it's alright
If I got a problem
You got all the answers
Stay this night
I'll make it up to you
In some way somehow
Oh but Sherri don't fail me now
Oh but Sherri don't fail me now

Top Status Quo, Sail Away

( Rossi / Frost )
Sail away to the place across the sea
Leave today so you cannot bother me
And you cannot fail to see
That it doesn't really matter much to me
No it doesn't really matter that much to me
Blown away any time I wanted you
Played away so I thought I'd try it too
Just to see what I could do
But it didn't really matter much to me
No it didn't really matter that much to me
Living on the east side, looking to the west side
Looking on the bright side, bright side
Stepping over that line, checking out the birth-sign
Making up for lost time, lost time
Sail away, don't believe I give a damn
Go today, go and leave me as I am
I'll remember when I can
And it doesn't really matter much to me
No it doesn't really matter that much to me
Living on the east side, looking to the west side
Looking on the bright side, bright side
Stepping over that line, checking out the birth-sign
Making up for lost time, lost time
Sail away, could it be I've found away
For today is the day I'm gonna write
'Bout the story of my life
Will it ever really matter much to me
Will it ever really matter that much to me
Living on the east side, looking to the west side
Looking on the bright side, bright side
Stepping over that line, checking out the birth-sign
Making up for lost time, lost time
Living on the east side, looking to the west side
Looking on the bright side, bright side...

Top Status Quo, Roll Over Beethoven

( C. Berry )
I'm gonna write a little letter
Gonna mail it to my local DJ
Yeah, it's a rockin' little record
I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven, I gotta hear it again today
You know my temperature's risin
And the jukebox blowin a fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps singin' the blues
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news
I got a rockin' pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I got the rollin' arthritis
Sittin' down at the rhythm review
Roll over Beethoven and rockin' in two by two
Well, if you feel you like it
Go get your lover, then reel and rock it
Roll it over and move on up just
A trifle further and reel and rock it
With one and other
Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues
Well, early in the mornin' I'm a-givin' you the warnin'
Don't you step on my blue Suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle, I'm playin' my fiddle
Ain't got nothin' to lose
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news
You know she wiggles like a glow worm
Dance like a spinnin' top
She got a crazy partner
You oughta see 'em reel and rock
Long as she got a dime the music will never stop
Roll over Beethoven (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues
Roll over Beethoven (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven (Roll over Beethoven)
Roll over Beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues

Top Status Quo, Rolling Home

( Lancaster / Rossi )
Me and my lady love the way you're movin'
Me and my lady love
All night long you've got us up and groovin'
Reelin' and rollin' along
Saturday night you made it alright
And everyone liked your reelin' and rollin' along
Me and my lady love the way you're rollin' home
Late last night my motor broke a rotor
Broken down by the road
Even though I need it I just had to leave it
Head down to the show
There in the crowd my lady I found
Movin' around reelin' and rollin' along
Me and my lady love the way you're rollin' homeDon't you ever lose it don't you ever blues it
Don't you ever change your way
People try to ban you don't they understand you
Don't you think that's a shame
I was alone no where to go
Now I've a love and a lady to take me along
Me and my lady love the way you're rollin' home
Me and my lady love the way you're rollin' home
Me and my lady love the way you're rollin' home

Top Status Quo, Restless

Restless
Warnes - Leosong Copyright Services
There are words to say but I swear I just can't find them
Though in my heart I know fools
May hesitate from the memories behind them
While the angels laugh and say, I told you so
Oh, I'm restless, darling I'm restless
Waiting for you to look my way
I don't think that I can wait another day
I cry when the feeling overtakes me
'Cos the love I give seems so little in your eyes
The test of time always breaks me
With nothing tried, and nothing realised
Oh, I'm restless, darling I'm restless
Waiting for you to look my way
I don't think that I can wait another day
No man is an island but you do that very well
It sure takes a fool to find another
But I believe for every heart that's broken
There's a stranger's smile to put it on the mend, then
Those old familiar feelings seldom spoken
Out of nowhere come back again
And I'm restless, darling I'm restless
Waiting for you to look my way
I don't think that I..., the hour is getting late
I can't wait another day

Top Status Quo, Queenie

( Rossi/Frost )
A long time ago I saw you there
Sitting in a corner chair
I was looking for a place to stay
You were only hanging out and hanging around
I didn't see what I was looking for
I guess I never really knew
I was looking for a private eye
You never knew what I was talking about
Queenie, Queenie, Queenie
Won't you come along and make a home with me
Queenie, Queenie, Queenie
We could settle down and make some history
Queenie, Queenie, Queenie
We could never stop it if we wanted to
Queenie, Queenie, Queenie
We could be so happy with a family
The next time I saw you was the summertime
I'm just a little older now
Things seemed to get a little better then
You went out and got a ticket taking you home
It really was a shame I didn't follow you
It would have saved a lot of time
I had to come around eventually
And ask you if you want to maybe marry me
Queenie, Queenie, Queenie
Won't you come along and make a home with me
Queenie, Queenie, Queenie
We could settle down and make some history
Queenie, Queenie, Queenie
We could never stop it if we wanted to
Queenie, Queenie, Queenie
We could be so happy with a family
Queenie, Queenie, Queenie
Won't you come along and make a home with me
Queenie, Queenie, Queenie
We could settle down and make some history
Queenie, Queenie, Queenie
We could never stop it if we wanted to
Queenie, Queenie, Queenie
We could be so happy with a family
Queenie, Queenie, Queenie
Won't you come along and make a home with me
Queenie, Queenie, Queenie
We could settle down and make some history

Top Status Quo, Ring Of A Change

( Rossi / Young )
I look back and I open my eyes
I hear the words like they should be heard
And it feels like a ring of a bell echoing through me
I look back and its never the same
And that's the way it ought to be
What I feel is the sound of a change echoing through me
Move into the light
Come on into the light
Move into the light
I'll see you in the light alright
I think on and I think of today
And what today is gonna be for us
Will we find all the peace that is there and needs to taken
I think on and think its a must
That we slow down for just a while
And I think there's an ounce of a change echoing through me
Move into the light
Come on into the light
Move into the light
I'll see you in the light alright
I look back and I think of a song
I change the words around to make a rhyme
But the song is the same and the change is echoing through me
I look back and its never the same
I leave the song that it use to be
But I know there's a ring of a change echoing through me
Move into the light
Come on into the light
Move into the light
I'll see you in the light alright

Top Status Quo, Point Of No Return

( Bown / Edwards )
Is it another day
Is there another way
Nothing at all to say
It's just another day without you
Long way without you
Should I be holding back
Should I be holding out
Should I be keeping quiet
When I could scream and shout about you
All out about you
You, you give me everything but love
Shall I hold on, has it all gone
This is the way it is
This is the point of no return
We get the messages
Still we have everything to learn
Telling it like it is
This is the point of no return
Am I the last to learn
Am I the last to know
Is it a parting shot
Is it the final blow without you
To go without you
You, you give me everything but love
Shall I hold on, has it all gone
This is the way it is
This is the point of no return
We get the messages
Still we have everything to learn
Telling it like it is
This is the point of no return
Always too long, always too far
Always too strong for me to defend
Is it a fade, is it an end
You, you give me everything but love
Shall I hold on, has it all gone
This is the way it is
This is the point of no return
We get the messages
Still we have everything to learn
Telling it like it is
This is the point of no return
This is the way it is
This is the point of no return
We get the messages
Still we have everything to learn
Telling it like it is
This is the point of no return
This is the way it is
The point of no return
The point of no return
The point of no return
The point of no return
The point of no return
The point of no return

Top Status Quo, Once Bitten Twice Shy

( I. Hunter )
Well the times gettin' hard for you little girl
I'm a hummin' and a strummin' all over God's world
You can't remember when you got your last meal
And you dont know just how a woman feels
You didn't know what rock 'n' roll was
Until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands across your state line
I said I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
Now its the middle of the night
On the open road
The heater don't work and it's oh-so cold
You're lookin' tired, you're lookin' kinda beat
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet
You didn't know how rock 'n' roll looked
Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group
Half-way home in the parking lot
By the look in her eyes she was givin' what she got
I said I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
Woman you're a mess gonna die in your sleep
There's blood on my amp and my fenders beat
Can't keep you home, you're messin around
My best friend told me you're the best lick in town
You didn't know that rock 'n' roll burned
So you bought a candle and you live and you learn
You got the rhythm, you got the speed
Mamma's little baby likes it short and sweet
I said I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
I said I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy, babe
I, I, I, I, once bitten twice shy

Top Status Quo, Nothing Comes Easy

( Rossi / Parfitt / Bown / Edwards / Rich )
Fussing and fighting alone with our friends
Holding our breath and hoping it never will end
It's been a long, long haul
We would be ducking and diving, a rise then a fall
Pretending the ups and the downs didn't matter at all
And we got it almost right
Well there were hundreds and hundreds of mumbling miles
Always a personal reason to cop or to smile
Now there's a green light
We came and we went, we went then we came
Slowly but surely we learnt that it wasn't a game
But it was good clean fun
We were just second-hand cars along with the rest
Holding our own and hanging on in with the best
Nothing comes easy
Drinking and thinking what we'd rather do
Nothing of any real interest is coming on through
Maybe we're all right now
But in the end does it matter, matter at all?
Scratching a living and having one hell of a ball
Nothing comes easy

Top Status Quo, Over And Done

( Lancaster )
I really didn't wanna break it
You know I'm sorry it's over and done
I really thought we would have made it
But now it's gone
Can you look into my eyes and tell me
That there's nothing wrong
I know you know it's not the same
It's not the same old song
It's over and over and over
I told you
It's over and done
None of us are getting younger
But we all want to be a millionaire
And when you stop to think about it
It seems unfair
But if you never stop to think at all
You'd never be aware
And never understand the meaning
Of the love we shared
I'ts over and over I told you
I'ts over
It's only fair
Oh it's over and over
I told you
I'ts over and doneIt's no good trying to make it better
You know it's doesn't feel the right to do
Everything we shared together
Would break in two
Can you hear what I've been trying to say
I wouldn't do you wrong
We've got to get it over now and learn
To carry on
I'ts over and over and over
I told you
It's over and done
I'ts over and over and over
I told you
It's over and done
Oh it's over and over
I told you
It's over and done

Top Status Quo, No Problems

( Rossi / Parfitt )
Sitting on a corner watching half the world go by
Thinking something 'long the lines of whisky and rye
Rolling to the left, rolling to my right
Well, anybody out there wanna help me?
Looking at a picture of the trouble-and-strife
Even got a picture of the Queen
Getting back to thinking 'bout the secrets of life
Will I ever find another? No, it's just a dream
Walking round in circles, oh I must have walked a mile
Trying to imagine I was putting on my style
Rolling to the left, rolling to my right
Can't you see I'm going along the wrong lines?
Searching for the person with a shoulder to cry on
Calling out to almost anyone
Have you got a secondary bed I could lie on
You'd better watch your step or you'll be first in line
Baby, baby, baby, what the hell on earth is wrong with you?
Baby, baby, baby, what the hell am I supposed to do?
Baby, baby, baby, what the hell on earth is wrong with you?
Baby, baby, baby, what the hell am I supposed to do?
Cutting back to visions taken from the silver screen
Believing I was someone I had never been
Rolling to my left, rolling to my right
Surprised the motion picture is in black and white
Sitting here alone is how it's gonna be
Will my lucky star ever shine on me?
I guess it's not a problem, that's the way it's meant to be
Oh, it's never been a problem, it's never been a problem to me
Baby, baby, baby, what the hell on earth is wrong with you?
Baby, baby, baby, what the hell am I supposed to do?
Baby, baby, baby, what the hell on earth is wrong with you?
Baby, baby, baby, what the hell am I supposed to do?
Woh-oh-oh, baby, baby, baby, what the hell on earth is wrong with you?
Baby, baby, baby, what the hell am I supposed to do?
Woh-oh-oh, baby, baby, baby

Top Status Quo, Mess Of The Blues

I just got your letter baby, too bad you can't come home
I swear I'm going crazy, sitting here all alone
Since you gone I got a mess of the blues
Whoops there goes a tear drop, a-rolling down my face
And if you cry when you're alone it's surely no disgrace
I ain't slept a wink since Sunday, I can't eat a thing all day
And every day is just Blue Monday since you've been away
Since you gone I got a mess of the blues
Whoops there goes a tear drop, a rolling down my face
And if you cry when you're alone it's surely no disgrace
I gotta get myself together before I lose my mind
I'm gonna catch-a the next train going, and leave my blues behind
Since you gone I got a mess of the blues
I gotta get myself together before I lose my mind
I'm gonna catch-a the next train going, and leave my blues behind
Since you gone I got a mess of the blues
Since you gone I got a mess of the blues
Since you gone I got a mess of the blues

Top Status Quo, Mystery Song

( Parfitt / Young )
I see that look on your face
I see that look on your face
I see that look on your face
The boys know what you're giving
You give the boys such a lot of fun
And by the way that you make a living
You've got the boys all on the run
S.T's showing, you really got me going
Maybe you can give me a price
I wanna try it, yeh I wanna buy it
Tell me would you treat me nice
Oh my legs are shaking
Oh my heart is breaking
I'm just feeling like a boy
Now I just can't slow down
Gotta get in go down
Have my share of pride and joyNow I've got your name and number
I like to look upon your face
And now you know that I wanna take you
Give me the time you can name the place
Call me honey, you can take my money
Maybe we can make a deal
I really mean it, gotta get between it
Do you know the way I feel
Oh I'm feeling kinda
Like I've gotta find
A way to make you understand
Oh I know you're lying
And your love I'm buying
Oh I'm feeling like a man
The boys know what you're giving
You give the boys such a lot of fun
And by the way that you make a living
You've got the boys all on the run
S.T's showing, really got them going
You can even say the price
They'll wanna try it, even wanna buy it
If you really treat them nice
But I'd rather take you
Show that I can make you
Good enough for just one man
Oh I'm feeling kinda
Like I've gotta find
A way to make you understand

A mean, mean girl.
Mean, mean, mean, mean girl
I guess she's not the kind that I was looking for

Top Status Quo, Making Waves

( Rossi / Frost )
When I was a young boy, nothing much mattered to me
You were a girl and a half and you saw yourself a mystery
We got together for a while, I did every thing you wanted me too
Well I tried and you lied, I was left here back in the blue
If your gonna run, are you gonna run today?
Is it because I'm out on the road?
You never had it good, you never had it anyway
More more more making waves
I was always right there when you wanted to play
You were living in a scene from a dream every night and day
And I never found a way to make it better for you
Oh I tried, and I tried, but you left me back in the blue
If your gonna run, are you gonna run today?
Is it because I'm out on the road?
You never had it good, you never had it anyway
More more more making waves
What you gonna do now? nothing left, nothing to say
Well I must have been a fool to believe in you anyway
When I tried to find a way or something that I could do
You threw it all in my face and you left me back in the blue
If your gonna run, are you gonna run today?
Is it because I'm out on the road?
You never had it good, you never had it anyway
More more more making waves
If your gonna run, are you gonna run today?
Is it because I'm out on the road?
You never had it good, you never had it anyway
More more more making waves

Top Status Quo, Long Ago

(Rossi/Frost)
So let's begin at the beginning
And make it nice, so very nice
Did you ever have another
Who didn't think the way you think?
You'd better hold on a minute, wait for a minute
Don't leave me on my knees
If I recover and then discover
It's all a game, it's just the same
Are you believing that I am leaving
You're very wrong - so very wrong
I'm gonna wait for a minute, hold on a minute
Back down I'm on my knees
I don't want any more to be left all by myself
In a world, crazy world, full of tears and broken dreams
I can't go on forever living my life with you in mind
I don't know, I just don't know
Long, long ago
Where did it go?
Can't go back, no
Oh no, no, no
You'll have to learn if I return
It's gonna be the way to be
If you believe you wanna leave
Take my advice and don't think twice
You'd better run for your cover, run for your lover
I won't be on my knees
I don't want any more to be left all by myself
In a world, crazy world, full of tears and broken dreams
I can't go on forever living my life with you in mind
I can't say, I just can't say
Long, long ago
Where did it go?
Can't go back, no
Oh no, no, no
So lets begin at the beginning
Did you ever have another
So lets begin at the beginning
Did you ever have another

Top Status Quo, Little Me And You

( Bown )
I've seen a place in the valley
Pinewood floor and roses round the door
I'll take you there
If you'll have me
Maybe we could make it work
We'll hide away from the bad guys
Who say your's true, ain't good enough for you
I mix a mean tequila sunrise
We could have a real good time
I got a heart full of big love
I got a head full of good thoughts
I got a belly full of everybody
Telling me what to do
They better keep their noses clean
I say they'd better not come between
Little me and you,me and you
We'll take a dive undercover
We'll get by, just you and I
We'll take a drink then another
And twist the night away
I got a heart full of big love
I got a head full of good thoughts
I got a belly full of everybody
Telling me what to do
They better keep their noses clean
I say they'd better not come between
Little me and you, me and you
Little me and you well we go back
Back to the school yard, that's a fact
The bestest times I ever had
Just you and me and a sherbet dab
They better keep their noses clean
I say they'd better not come between
Little me and you, me and you
Me and you now we go back
Back to the school yard, that's a fact
The bestest times I ever known
You let me steal a kiss and then I walk you home
I got a heart full of big love
I got a head full of good thoughts
I got a belly full of everybody
Telling me what to do
They better keep their noses clean
I say they'd better not come between
Little me and you

Top Status Quo, In Your Eyes

( Rossi / Frost )
Doesn't she look so well
With her long black hair and a look says she can tell
Doesn't she know so well
She can cast a spell with that look of heaven
In her eyes, in her eyes
In your eyes, your eyes
Now I can't get to sleep
I dream and dream all the day through
Doesn't seem to matter though
Doesn't seem to worry me
I can't get to sleep
I dream and dream, honest I do
Honest I do, dream of you
Couldn't we be away
On a different day could be so unusual
Couldn't we try to be
What the others say, what they think they see there
In your eyes, in your eyes
In your eyes, your eyesNow I have been a fool
I've been in love, haven't we all
Everybody does it though
Every time we keep going back again
I've made that mistake
I dream and dream honest I do
Honest I do dream of you
Wouldn't it feel the same
Is it just a game that we play from time to time
Wouldn't I feel so good
If I understood what I see is written there
In your eyes, in your eyes
In your eyes, your eyes
Now when towards the end
I'm feeling blue and everything's wrong
Doesn't matter at the time
Doesn't matter this time anyway
I can't get to sleep
I dream and dream, honest I do
Honest I do dream, oh I can't get to sleep
I dream and dream, honest I do
Honest I do dream of you

Well, she got her daddy's car and she cruised through the hamburger stand now;
Seems she forgot all about the library, like she told her old man now,
And with her radio blastin', goes cruisin' just as fast as she can now,
And she'll have fun, fun, fun, till her daddy take the T-Bird away.
Well, the girls can't stand her `cause she walks, looks, and drives like an ace
now.
She makes the Indy five hundred look like a Roman chariot race now.
A lotta guys try to catch her, but she leads, `em on a wild goose chase now,
And she'll have fun, fun, fun, till her daddy takes the T-Bird away.
Well, she's aching and turns and it looks like she's coming around now
And all a little concern 'cause the town is closed and all dump now.
(Chor: Dump is the town, dump is the town)
Well, they're jumping on earth for some good time getting around now
And you have fun, fun, fun, till her daddy takes her t-bird away
A-well, you knew all along that your dad was gettin' wise to you now,
And since he took your set of keys, you've been thinkin' that your fun is all
through now.
But you can come along with me, `cause we gotta lotta things to do now,
And we'll have fun, fun, fun, now that daddy took the T-Bird away.
And we'll have fun, fun, fun, now that daddy took the T-Bird away.

Top Status Quo, Don't Mind If I Do

Don't mind if I do, don't mind if I
Don't care much at all, can't think that much
I'm climbing the walls, losing my touch
You don't give a damn
When you are out there on your own
Saying you can't find your way home
Do you think you know what is real?
And do you know what you want from me?
I'm being the best that I can be
Now I know nothing feels the same
Don't mind if I do, don't mind if I
Don't care much at all, can't think that much
I'm climbing the walls, losing my touch
I'm all in a jam
I don't lie to you, I don't need to
I won't cry for you, I don't feel to
Don't you cry to me, I've seen through you
You don't give a damn
Can I be honest with you now?
I'm feeling a fool again somehow
Maybe I should be moving on.
Don't mind if I do, don't mind if I
Don't care much at all, can't think that much
I'm climbing the walls, losing my touch
I'm all in a jam
I don't lie to you, I don't need to
I won't cry for you, I don't feel to
Don't you cry to me, I've seen through you
You don't give a damn
Take it or leave it seems to be
The only way open left for me
Should I be feeling how I feel?
Don't mind if I do, don't mind if I
Don't care much at all, can't think that much
I'm climbing the walls, losing my touch
I'm all in a jam
I don't lie to you, I don't need to
I won't cry for you, I don't feel to
Don't you cry to me, I've seen through you
You don't give a damn

Oh no I took your number down
Now I can't find it and I'm back in town
Tonight tonight
I can't believe where the hell it's gone
And looking for a lover won't bee too much fun
Tonight tonight
I'm standing in line again
Waisting my time
I know I'd feel fine again
With you on the line
With you on the line
And I'm falling in falling out and
Still don't know what it's all about
I'm falling in falling out
I'm creeping in but I'm crawling out again
Falling in falling out
I'm giving up so I'm calling out to you
I bet you're thinking you where just a game
I bet you bet I can recall your name
Tonight tonight
How can I tell you if I can't get through
How can I make it if I'm not with you
Tonight tonight
I'm standing in line again
Waisting my time
I know I'd feel fine again
With you on the line
With you on the lineAnd I'm falling in falling out and
Still don't know what it's all about
I'm falling in falling out
I'm creeping in but I'm crawling out again
Falling in falling out
I'm giving up so I'm calling out to you
And I'm falling in falling out and
Still don't know what it's all about
I'm falling in falling out
I'm creeping in but I'm crawling out again
Falling in falling out
I'm giving up so I'm calling out to you
And I'm falling in falling out and
Still don't know what it's all about
I'm falling in falling out
I'm creeping in but I'm crawling out again
Falling in falling out
I'm giving up so I'm calling out to you
And I'm falling in ..

Top Status Quo, Enough Is Enough

( Rossi / Parfitt / Frost )
I don't care what you say to me
I'm gonna try and kick you outta my door
Ain't no use entertaining me
Or paint your pretty little face for me
You don't like rock, you don't like roll
You don't like rock and roll no more
I've had enough, I can't anymore
Enough is enough, I can't stand no more
Enough is enough
I don't care what you say to me
I never get the message through when I call
What you do is a shame to see
Making plans of your own for me
You don't know where, you don't know when
You don't know where, or where or when
Oh I don't care what you say to me
I'm gonna kick you outta my door
Enough is enough, and I have had it
I've had enough, I can't anymore
Enough is enough, I can't stand no more
Enough is enough, I can't anymore

What you say is all the same to me
Making plans of your own for me
You don't know where, you don't know when
You don't know where, or where or when
I've had enough, I can't anymore
Enough is enough, I can't stand no more
Enough is enough, I can't anymore
Enough is enough, I can't stand no more
Enough is enough, I can't anymore

Top Status Quo, Blessed Are The Meek

( Rossi / Frost )
You know the story about a woman and a man
in a garden living free
The only danger was a stranger by a tree
selling apples by the score
Blessed are the meek
Blessed are the true lovers
It's anybodys guess
really more or less where it's gonna go
Better make a break before we get in big trouble
I'll look out for you, you look out for me
The way it's gotta be
Another story about a woman and man
the only difference is the time
He had a lover, she knew his long hair was his strength
so he lost it all for love
Blessed are the meek
Blessed are the true lovers
It's anybodys guess
really more or less where It's gonna go
Better make a break before we get in big trouble
I'll look out for you, you look out for me
The way it's gotta be
Gotta do something seriously
Oh oh oh
Can't ignore it any longer
Oh no no
Oh no
Another story about a woman and a man
Who can say it's right or wrong?
He was the new king in the making, but he said
gonna give it up for love
Blessed are the meek
Blessed are the true lovers
It's anybodys guess, really more or less
where it's gonna go
Better make a break before we get in big trouble
I'll look out for you, you look out for me
The way it's gotta be
Blessed are the meek
Blessed are the true lovers
It's anybodys guess, really more or less
where it's gonna go

Top Status Quo, Carol

( Berry )
Oh, Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day
Well, come in to my machine, so we can cruse on out
I know a swingin' little joint where we can jump and shout
It's not too far back off the highway not so long a ride
You park your car out in the open, you can walk inside
A little cutie takes your hat and you can thank her ma'am
'cos ev'ry time you make the scene you find the joint is jammed
Oh, Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day
Oh, Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day
Well, if you wanna hear some music like the boys are playin'
Hold tight catch your foot, don't let him carry it away
Don't let the heat overcome you, when they play so loud
Oh, don't the music intrigue you, when they get a crowd
If you can't dance, I know you wish you could
I got my eyes on you baby 'cause you dance so good
Oh, Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day
Oh, Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
Oh, Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
Oh, Carol don't...

Top Status Quo, Another Shipwreck

I woke this morning in a different disguise and I was crying, crying
You said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter at all
I caught the mirror as I opened your letter, I was lying, lying
I said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter at all
Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home again
Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home again
Scared to lose you but knowing the magic, it was dying, dying
I said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter at all
I hear you every day, I meet you at night, I see you crying, crying
You say it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter at all
Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home again
Another shipwreck, another earthquake
Another shipwreck, I understand it's time to admit
Despite our endeavours
Cant find whatever we lost....
Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home again
Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home again
Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home
I may never see home
I may never see home again
I woke this morning in a different disguise
I cracked a mirror as I opened your letter
Scared to lose you but knowing the magic
I hear you every day I meet you at night

Top Status Quo, Ain't Complaining

( Rossi / Parfitt / Williams )
There's nothing left, there's nothing right
There's nothing left, there's nothing right
There's nothing left, right left right
Up down up down up down up down
All right all right
You wind me up, you bring me down
Your reputation is all over the town
So long as you come home to me
I ain't complaining
You fool around, we scream and fight
The way you're treating me, you know it ain't right
But when you're making out with me
I ain't complaining
It ain't no use, you playing it loose
And thinking it don't matter to me
It ain't fair at all
You only have to call my name
and I'll come running to you
All right all right
You're out all night, you sleep all day
When I get home you're going out to play
Oh, woman give me some time and everything's fine
I ain't complaining
You just don't care, we're in a mess
And the company you keep ain't the best
But when you're lying there with me
I ain't complaining
It ain't no use, you playing it loose
And thinking it don't matter to me
It ain't fair at all
You only have to call my name
And I'll come running to youBut when the chips are down
A man can only take so much fooling around
And if you don't come home to me
I'll be complaining
All right
There's nothing left, there's nothing right
Our situation ain't looking too bright
'cause I have taken all I'm gonna take
Without complaining
It ain't no use playing it loose
And thinking it don't matter to me
It ain't fair at all
You only have to call my name
And I'll come running to you
But when the chips are down
A man can only take so much fooling around
And if I don't come home to you
You'll be complaining
All right all right all right all right
All right all right

Top Status Quo, Again And Again

( Parfitt / Bown / Lynton )
Once upon a time not so very long ago
There wasn't such a thing as a rock'n roll show
You had to sit at home and listen to the radio
Then came a man with a rockin'guitar
Found himself a beat and he played it near and far
Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
He travelled round the world in a rock-n-roll band
He stood there like a giant with a guitar in his hand
Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll
Nobody cared about the clothes he would wear
Nobody cared about the colour of his hair
Everybody came to see and let the good times roll
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Now we've got the rhythm in us now we've got the rock
Time didn't matter never living by the clock
Everybody came to hear him playing his rock-n-roll
Then came a line when the music didn't rhyme
He couldn't find the rhythm cos he couldn't find the time
But still the people came to listen to the good times roll
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again

Top Status Quo, That's A Fact

( Rossi / Young )
Sitting in a cornfield
Looking at the cob
Thinking of a long line
Waiting for a job
And I'm alone and that's a fact
I'm alone and that's a fact
Sitting in a full car
someone at the wheel
Going to a new stop
I wonder if it's real
And I'm alone and that's a fact
And I'm alone and that's a fact
I need to maybe talk to you
Said I need to and said I need you
I need to I need to be with you
I said I need to I gotta see youSitting at a new stop
Didn't get the job
Couldn't find a long line
Took another drop
And I'm alone and that's a fact
So I'm alone and that's a fact
Sitting at a new stop
Didn't get the job
Couldn't find a long line
Took another drop
And I'm alone and that's a fact
So I'm alone and that's a fact
So I'm alone and that's a fact

Top Status Quo, Riverside

( Rossi / Frost )
She left me cold and hungry by the riverside
She left me so downhearted there and I really cried
About mistakes I'd made and it's a crying shame
I can't believ the way they start all over again
She left me cold and hungry by the riverside
Without a word or a note, so I couldn't find
A reason for to stay where I wanted to stay
There didn't seem to me to be anyway
I got away to the city from the riverside
And it was oh, such a pity 'cos I really tried
It didn't make me feel how I wanted to feel
I turned around to be where I wanted to be
I got away to the city from the riverside
And it was all nitty gritty there, however I tried
I didn't wait to feel how I knew I would feel
I had to turn around, 'cos I wouldn't be found
Don't blame me or point your finger at me
I'm not blind and I see, don't point your finger at me
Don't you do it, don't you do it to me
Don't point your finger my way
Don't put the blame all my wayShe found me so light-hearted by the riverside
She didn't cry or try and I didn't mind
'Cos I just had to stay wher I wanted to stay
And the mistakes I made, I made them anyway
She left me cold and hungry by the riverside
And it was oh, such a pity 'cos I really tried
It didn't make me feel how I wanted to feel
I turned around to be where I wanted to be
Don't blame me or point your finger at me
I'm not blind and I see, don't point your finger at me
Don't you do it, don't you do it to me
Don't point your finger my way
Don't put the blame all my way
She left me cold and hungry by the riverside
And it was oh, such a pity 'cos I really tried
It didn't make me feel how I wanted to feel
I turned around to be where I wanted to be
She left me cold and hungry by the riverside

Walking the tightrope
And losing my pole
I hang on by my teeth
One of those nights
It didn't feel too right
Gonna cry myself to sleep
Oh! What a night
Oh! What a flight it was
Oh! Oh! What a night
No telephone news
And I'm missing you
I can't afford to phone
There's a thousand people
Using my room
But I never felt so aloneOh! What a night
Oh! What a flight it was
Oh! Oh! What a night
I picture your face
I keep on hearing your voice
I'm dying in the sheets
I daren't think too much
So I drink too much
I still can't get to sleep
Oh! What a night
Oh! What a flight it was
Oh! Oh! What a night

Top Status Quo, Who Asked You

( Lancaster )
There you go again
Telling me the same mistakes I made
There you go again
Telling me the way I should have played
Your silver tongue can talk away
And tell me all I should have done
But you allways be the same
'til the very last time has come
Seventeen years
And it ain't no worth giving a try you said
But I wouldn't be living
If any year was never spent
So when I see you up in arms
I wonder where your time has gone
Are you throwing it away
'til the every last time has come
Who asked you
To prey on my feelings
Lying low in every cloud
Who asked you
I've never been the one
To give you any kind of reason
Who asked youWho asked you
When I was still learning
To come along and put me down
Who asked you
I made it anyway
While every cloud was slowly turning
Who asked you
Who asked you
There you go again
Telling me the same mistakes I made
There you go again
Telling me the way I should have played
There never was a better way
Than living like the way I've done
Oh, and living is the game
'til the very last time has come
But you'll always be the same
'til the very last time has come
You're throwing it away
'til the very last time has come
Who asked you

Top Status Quo, Breaking Away

( Rossi / Parfitt / Bown )
Me and my friends gonna make a pile of money
Gonna check it out every day
Me and my wife gonna need every penny
'cos we're throwing it all away
But I'm changing my tune
And I'm breaking away
Me and my friends we're rugged little rockers
And we're lazing away the day
Hot wax jacked-up on the television
And forgetting about the pay
But I'm changing my tune
And I'm breaking away
Breaking awayFour rockers rollin'
With a poet in the wings
Waiting to blow his heart away
Beanos with the road-crew
Postcards to the wife
Stating the menu of the day
Flying through 'til breakfast
Sleeping on the plane
Looking a good deal
Better than we'll ever feel again
Is it really worth it?
Could it all be real?
Am I just living out a dream?
Sitting in a hotel
Falling of the stage
Tuning in to Wonga Queen
Old men in boys' clothes
Has gone beyond a joke
Skin me another
And pass along the Wiskey and the Coke
Me and my friends are hating everybody
Who was telling us what to say
Heads down rockin' on up and down the country only
Living from day to day
And I'm changing my tune
And I'm breaking away
Breaking away

Playing near or far too many times should have known
It can lose you all sleep at night
Twelve bar blues is now alright
Now it`s up to you to try and find the reason to
Rock `n` Roll and every song
Rock `n` Roll and everyone
It`s Rock `n` Roll and Rock and Rock `n` Roll
It`s Rock `n` Roll and Rock keeps rollin` on
Waiting all the time to find radio plays on Caroline
They say you'll get there in the end
We can pray, what we say
Makes a difference in the endLooking back it can be funny, it can be very strange
Everything we do, it's funny, we never rearrange
It can lose you all sleep at night
Twelve bar blues is now alright
Now it`s up to you to try and find the reason to
Rock `n` Roll and every song
Rock `n` Roll and everyone
It`s Rock `n` Roll and Rock and Rock `n` Roll
It`s Rock `n` Roll and Rock keeps rollin` on
Waiting all the time to find radio plays on Caroline
They say you'll get there in the end
We can pray, what we say
Makes a difference in the end
Rushing always in a hurry, and try to give it up
Everything we do it's funny, it's never good enough
It can lose you all sleep at night
Twelve bar blues is now alright
Now it`s up to you to try and find the reason to
Rock `n` Roll and every song
Rock `n` Roll and everyone
It`s Rock `n` Roll and Rock and Rock `n` Roll
It`s Rock `n` Roll and Rock keeps rollin` on
Waiting all the time to find radio plays on Caroline
They say you'll get there in the end
We can pray, what we say
Makes a difference in the end

Top Status Quo, Lies

( Rossi / Frost )
I had another drink after another drink and then I tried to crawl to the door
I had another smoke after another joke and then I couldn't take any more
It didn't change a thing, not any single thing, when someone tried to tell me for sure
I heard another voice that said I wasn't in a dream
I read a word or two about everything
I never knew the way that it oughta have been
They never told me a thing about it
I never did know a thing about it
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes they won't go away
And the times that I tried are the times that I find they don't show today
But you make me feel so good
I woke up after four, still lying on the floor, and waiting to be carried away
I woke up once again, a little after ten, will things be any better today
It doesn't change you see, it only changes me, well someone tried to tell me I'm sure
I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream
I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between
I never knew the way that it oughta have been
They never told me a thing about it
I never did know a thing about it
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away
And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today
But you make me feel so good
I'm going back to school, I'm gonna check the rule, and see if I get carried away
I'm going back again, I'm gonna try again, don't listen what the people might say
It doesn't change a thing, not any single thing, well someone tried to tell me for sure
I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream
I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between
I never knew the way that it oughta have been
They never told me a thing about it
I never did know a thing about it
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away
And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today
But you make me feel so good
I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream
I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between
I never knew the way that it oughta have been
They never told me a thing about it
I never did know a thing about it
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away
And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away
And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away
And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away

Top Status Quo, Going Down Town Tonight

( Johnson )
I'm going down town tonight, I'm gonna find myself a dream
I'm gonna dress up right, and be the best they've ever seen
You can tell from their eyes, you can tell from their eyes
That they're never impressed, that they're never impressed
From the way they walk round, from the way they walk round
They are used to the best, they are used to the best
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Why let them break you in with self-sophisticated praise
'cos when the cards are low you see the smile come on their face
If you speak the right words, if you speak the right words
They will hear what you say, they will hear what you say
They will take your attention, just take your attention
And then turn away, and then turn away
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Just one thing before you go my ladies of the night
Just one thing I have to say I've got you, and you're
Confident and debonair you move between the stars
Hungry for those staring eyes that fill your waking hours
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Your face is all run dry with all the echoes of the night
And so I'm home alone, I wash my head and hold on tight
If you speak the right words, if you speak the right words
They will hear what you say, they will hear what you say
They will take your attention, just take your attention
And then turn away, and then turn away
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight

Top Status Quo, Too Far Gone

( Lancaster )
You've been looking like a low down liquor drinking money grabber
I don't wanna see you looking this way
It's a crime the way you're carrying on
You'll keep it up till you're too far gone
Yeh yeh, yeh yeh
You took off with a no-good double dealing money maker
It's too bad your head was up in the clouds
It's a shame you didn't get what you want
Don't wait forever, it's too far gone
You said goodbye, you'd never listen
You couldn't be wrong
And now it's over it's not so easy
To say it's all gone
If you wanna play a bad game, you've got to be a good player
It don't matter if you win or you lose
No one cares if you're right of wrong
You only win when you're too far gone
You're running wild living out your fantasy life
And ev'rybody knows the game by the look in your eyes
If you wanna play a bad game, you've got to be a good player
It don't matter if you win or you lose
No one cares if you're right of wrong
You only win when you're too far gone
You're running wild living out your fantasy life
And ev'rybody knows the game by the look in your eyes
Too far gone, too far gone
Too far gone, too far gone

Top Status Quo, Let's Ride

( Lancaster )
It's such a very long time ago
And we were riding down the dusty road
I took a turn around the dusty track
And said I'm never ever coming back
Aw, but baby come and ride with me
Come on and ride like it used to be
I know you like the way it feels
Riding high on a pair of wheels
Let's ride, let's ride, let's ride
Take me up and won't you come on, let's ride
It took me twenty-five thousand miles
A new starter and a pair of tyres
When at last I realised the end
Was coming up around the bend
I turned around and scraped my boots
And headed back again towards my roots
The wind was blowing through my hair
And the sun was shining everywhereLet's ride, let's ride, let's ride
Take me up and won't you come on, let's ride
Let's ride, let's ride, let's ride
Take me up and won't you come on, let's ride
A little loving goes a long, long way
And it called me back again
Now I know which way to go
I'm never ever gonna ride alone
So baby come and ride with me
Come on and ride like it used to be
I know you like the way it feels
Ridng high upon a pair of wheels
Let's ride, let's ride, let's ride
Take me up and won't you come on, let's ride
Let's ride, let's ride, let's ride
Take me up and won't you come on, let's ride

Top Status Quo, Hard Time

( Rossi / Parfitt )
Asked my girl what she wanted from me
She said ev'rything that I can see
I said baby what d'you thing of me
And she said nothing at all
So I sit here waiting patiently
To see if there will be a change or three

It doesn't matter at all
And now I'm wond'ring which way to go
So it's a hard time for us all 'til she gets it right
Yes it's a hard time for us all be som kind of fight
She makes the same excuse for making all the same mistakes again
Now I think of all the times we had
Yeah, of all the good and all the bad
I sometimes think that maybe I've been had
It doesn't matter at all
And now I'm wond'ring which way to go
So it's a hard time for us all 'til she gets it right
Yes it's a hard time for us all be som kind of fight
She makes the same excuse for making all the same mistakes again
Asked my girl what she wanted to be

And so I'm wond'ring which way to go

She makes the same excuse for making all the same mistakes again
Oh it's a hard time for us all 'til she gets it right

Top Status Quo, Can't Give You More

( Rossi / Young )
Now you know this ain't the kind of life for you
It's not the way you thought that it would be
If I could change my way to you
If I could change, it wouldn't be me
And you see
I know I never tried the things I should have done
Oh and time is always passing by
I want to do the things I never done before
So I do try not to tell a lie
When I'm so low, when I'm so high
Yet you cry when I say I can't give you more
First you said you'd never try to slow me down
That ev'rything would work out really fine
But as those walls closed in on us
your words just fell right out of line
And behind
I know I never tried the things I should have done
And time is always passing by
I want to do the things I never done before
So I do try not to tell a lie
When I'm so low, when I'm so high
yet you cry when I say I can't give you moreOh, oh, oh, can't give you more
Can't give any more
Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more
Ain't got any more
Did you figure ours would be an easy thing
Like lazy days of lying in the sun
I told you if you wanted me
That ev'ry day just wouldn't be fun
Now it's done
I know I never tried the thing I should have done
And time is always passing by
I want to do the things I never done before
So I do try not to tell a lie
When I'm so low, when I'm so high
Yet you cry when I say I can't give you more
Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more
Can't give you more
Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more
I ain't got any more
Oh, oh, oh, I ain't got any more
I ain't got any more
Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more
I ain't got any more

Top Status Quo, All We Really Wanna Do (Polly)

( Rossi / Frost )
I thought it over in a quiet room
What about it, what about the dream
Of the future, looking much better
Wonder what is on the other side
When we get there, if we do make it
Better than it was before
I think about it, would we be the same
Working at it, will we fall again
For the same lines and the same reasons
Would we let them take us for a ride
By the next time and the time after
Won't be any time at all
No there won't be any time at all
'Cos all we really wanna do is what we wanna do and do it all the day
But we never ever think about it, life goes on and love gets in the way
Everybody does the same old thing and goes ahead and does it anyway
Write a letter to a magazine
Talk about it, talk about the dream
Of the future, looking much better
Wonder what is on the other side
By the next time and the time after
Won't be any time at all
No there won't be any time at all
'Cos all we really wanna do is what we wanna do and do it all the day
But we never ever think about it, life goes on and love gets in the way
All we really wanna do is what we wanna do and do it all the day
But we never ever think about it, life goes on and love gets in the way
All we really wanna do is what we wanna do and do it all the day
But we never ever think about it, life goes on and love gets in the way

Top Status Quo, Slow Train

I can't afford a ticket
On an old Dakota airplane
Gotta jump a ride
On a cattle trucking slowtrain
Guess it doesn't matter
As long as I can get my head down in the sun.
I wrote a rocking song
Gonna sing it at the station
Finish all the words
When I reach my destination
Guess it doesn't matter
As long as I can get my head down in the sun.
Hey Mama, please now don't you fret none
Don't worry but please don't you forget
Hey Mama, please don't get upset none
Gotta leave and find me something better
Hey Mama, things are gonna work out fine now
Believe me need for you to write
Hey Mama, things are gonna work out fine now
I've got a friend said that she'd invite me.I came here in the morning
And I crept out in the middle of the night
I gave nobody warning I was leaving
And I felt it was right
Now I'm off again
And it sure is feeling alright.
Got a feeling that I'm living
With a ticket and I won't jump a ride
It's no good you believing
That my leaving was a-wrong, it was right
Now I'm off again
And it sure is feeling alright.

Top Status Quo, Lonely Man

( Parfitt / Lancaster )
Lonely man upon the shore
What on earth are you looking for?
You're protection is quite clear
And you're never really near
Will you ever find what you are looking for?
Seeing others on the shelf
Only thinking of yourself
Will you ever start to learn?
Will your pockets ever burn?
Will you ever find what you are looking for?
Look at the sky, why do you cry?
What do you see? Your miseryLook at the sky, why do you cry?
What do you see? Your misery
Lonely man, you're on your own
Find someone to take you home
A friend is what you need
Would you mind if it was me?
Maybe then you'll find what you are looking for
Will you ever find what you are looking for?

Top Status Quo, Drifting Away

( Parfitt / Lancaster )
You can't see what you mean to me
I just can't get you out of my head
You move me more than I've ever been
Like a wild supersonic jet
But I can see your love drifting away
And I don't want your love d-d-d-drifting away
I got told by a friend of mine
That you don't want me anymore
Now my friend's got a broken nose
Sure and I got a broken jaw
So don't push me around, throw me away
And I don't want your love d-d-d-drifting away Don't you know what I'm living for
Don't you know what I'm trying to say
Don't try to shove me outta that door
'Cos you're mine and it's staying that way
I'm giving you my love just throw it away
But I can see your love d-d-d-drifting away
Oh drifting away you got me drifting away
Oh drifting away

Top Status Quo, Don't Think It Matters

( Parfitt / Lancaster )
Maybe I'm right, or maybe I'm wrong

Oh, you don't think it matters at all
No, you don't think it matters at all

Top Status Quo, The Power Of Rock

( Parfitt / Williams / Rossi )
He was a lonely boy
In a broken land
Where people were living and dying
In the name of a higher man
And then one day
Into his hand
The power of rock and roll
She was a hungry girl
For a caring world
And the rules say don't take a step over there
But she carries on
And drawn one day
Into the force by the power of rock and roll
Oh, oh, fighting for love, and singing you
Oh, oh, telling you why, and showing you
Oh oh, gonna be joined by rock and roll
In a working band
He became the man
But the law of the street
Said they could not meet
In any circumstance
But she did not care
They began to share
The power of rock and roll
Oh, oh, fighting for love, and singing you
Oh, oh, telling you why, and showing you
Oh oh, gonna be joined by rock and rollWell they were learning
Of trouble they stayed ahead
And they were burning
Burning up and seeing red
That the place they loved would fall apart
If you can't show feeling from the heart
And then fighting
Know what they were fighting for
Can everybody
Give and take a little more
Because it's all too easy to forget
That you can fight 'til there ain't no reason left
So everybody, sing
Oh, oh, and singing you
Oh, oh, and showing you
Woh oh oh, and telling you
Woh oh oh
He was a lonely man
She was a hungry girl
Living on different sides
They were praying for a guiding word
And then one day
Into their hands
The power of rock and roll
Oh, oh, and singing you
Oh, oh, and showing you
Woh oh oh, and telling you
Woh oh oh

Top Status Quo, Paper Plane

( Rossi / Young )
Riding on a big white butterfly
I turned my back away towards the sky
I closed my eyes to look for something
Saw myself as really nothing
Then I realised my butterfly
Wasn't really up there with me
We all make mistakes, forgive me
Would you like to ride my butterfly
Riding on a long blue paperplane
Getting seasick, sorry once again
Landing strip is getting nearer
Hope the foglifts, make it clearer
Then I realised my paperplane
Wasn't really up there with me
We all make mistakes, forgive me
Would you like to ride my paperplaneRiding in a three grand Deutche car
A to B is often very far
Home is near, but such a long way
Legs and heads all feel the wrong way
Then I realised my Deutche car
Is only there to get me somewhere
Even so I really do care
Would you like to ride my Deutche car

Top Status Quo, Perfect Remedy

( Rossi / Frost )
I thought that you would leave my memory
I didn't think you'd stay in mind, I didn't think at all
At least I thought that with some misery
I'd find a way to have it all, and with or without you
But it's all right, this or any way
It's all right, which any other way
Any night or any other day
It's all right, put it another way
You do like you do when you do what you do like I do
Day out, day in you're always trying to fight for control
You thought you had the perfect remedy
A perfect remedy for me, a remedy for all
You say at last you tried so pleasantly
To find a way to have it all, or have a drink on me
But it's all right, this or any way
It's all right, which any other way
Any night or any other day
It's all right, put it another way
You do like you do when you do what you do like I do
Day out, day in you're always trying to fight for control
I guess it's just a faded memory
That comes along with certainty
Then goes and fades away
But it's all right, this or any way
It's all right, which any other way
Any night or any other day
It's all right

I wake up every morning and that's my first mistake
From thereon in it's downhill all the way
I used to have a problem but now you want to leave
My new problem's getting through the day
Going down for the first time
Guess I've yet to learn loves ain't blind
I could use a little help, I can't stay here by myself
And I can't work you out of my mind
Now I don't mind admitting that maybe you were right
The more we try the less it seems to work
We get so used to banging our heads against the wall
It's only when we stop it starts to hurt
Going down for the first time
Guess I've yet to learn loves ain't blind
I could use a little help, I can't stay here by myself
I'll step right out of line, I'll go clean out of time
Yes I could use a little help, know I'd lose it by myself
If you fall out of sight, you know you'll turn out the light
Going down for the first time
Guess I've yet to learn loves ain't blind
I could use a little help, I can't stay here by myself
I'll step right out of line, I'll go clean out of time

If you fall out of sight, you know you'll turn out the light
And I'll quietly go out of my mind

Remebers your name

At any time before
'cos everything that we've been feeling
Is now an open door
And as the snow is falling
The mountains start to call
But do I feel you walking in my heart?
I'm taking a walk in your heart
I'm feeling my way through the dark
And I'm taking a walk in your heart
Yeah, I'm taking a walk in your heart
Oh, I'm feeling my way through the dark
Yeah I'm taking a walk in your heart

Top Status Quo, Hold You Back

( Rossi / Young / Parfitt )
How d'you know the music
When you don't know the score
Do you think that you can make it
When you don't need no more
Is it really the reason
When it is not a need
Are you trying hard to write it
Before you can read
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Slow you down, you've gotta try
Does the clock that you're watching
Ever tell you 'bout the time
Does the song that you're singing
Sound to you like a rhyme
Will there be an answer
When you stop askin why
Or because of the jigsaw that makes up a lie
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Slow you down, you've gotta tryHow d'you know the music
When you don't know the score
Do you think that you can make it
When you don't need no more
Is it really the reason
When it is not a need
Are you trying hard to write it
Before you can read
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Slow you down, you've gotta try
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Slow you down
Hold you back hold you back slow you down

Top Status Quo, Just Take Me

( Parfitt / Lancaster )
I am just a poor man, got nowhere to go
All my leaves have fallen, left me all alone
If I was a rich man, if I was a king
I would give you all I have, give you everything
If you'd just take me, just take me now
If you'd just take me
Never seen my daddy, died when I was two
Mama did the best she could, taught me all she knew
Said that love was everything, tears came to her eyes
Never knew the meaning, now I realise
Love is all you need, all you need now
If you just take me
I'm trying hard to get you, I'm not the only one
Never had a big car, but I'm not on the run
If love has got a meaning see it in my eyes
If you see the beginning, then you'd realise
Love is all you need, all you need now
If you just take meI am just a poor man, got nowhere to go
All my leaves have fallen, left me all alone
If I was a rich man, if I was a king
I would give you all I have, give you everything
If you'd just take me, just take me now
If you'd just take me
Just take me
Just take me now
Won't you just take me
Just take me
Just take me now
Won't you just take me

Top Status Quo, Bye Bye Johnny

( Berry )
Well she drew out all her money from the Southern trust
And put her little boy aboard a greyhound bus
Leaving Louisianna for the golden west
Down came the tears from her happiness
Her own little son, named Johnny B. Goode
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode
She remembered making money out from gathering crops
Buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop
As long as he would play it by the railroad side
And wouldn't get in trouble she'll be satisfied
Never thought there'd ever come a day like this
When she got to give her son a goodbye kiss
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode
Well she finally got the letter she was dreaming of
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
And build a mansion for them by the railroad track
Every time they heard a locomotiv roar
They'd be standing, a waiting by the kitchen doorI said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye
I said Bye Bye Johnny Bye Bye Johnny B. Goode

Top Status Quo, The Wild Ones

( Lancaster )
Easy riders in the morning sun
Are you coming here to have your fun
Everybody wants to know your game
How could you ever explain
When everybody's given you the name
Of the wild ones
And I can see the road ahead
Winding into the sun
It only feels like yesterday
Remember me, remember me
Easy riders don't you know you're done
Everybody wants to point the gun
No one likes the kind of clothes you wear
Or even the look of your hair
It doesn't matter if you're right or wrong
You're the wild ones
And no one wants to understand
The only way it can be
Living on the wild side
The only way could never beI remember the summertime
And the riding out into the breeze
And I remember the apple wine
Filling my head up with dreams
If only I could walk away
I'd do it all over again
But riding high on apple wine
It never mixed well in the end
Easy riders are coming
but now there's somebody gone
I'm sitting here all alone
And looking away, just looking away
Easy riders in the morning sun
Are you coming here to have your fun
Everybody wants to know your game
How could you ever explain
When everybody's given you the name
Of the wild ones
Easy rider, easy rider, you're the wild ones
Easy rider, easy rider, you're the wild ones
Easy rider, easy rider, you're the wild ones

Top Status Quo, Rollin' Home

( David )
I left my home one day
For the sake of better pay
In a forreign land 12 centuries back in time
Where the sun keeps burning down
On the hole drilled in the ground
And I dream of the girl I left behind
Well I signed the dotted line
And I thought in a few years time
I'd be home and we can start a brand new life
But everything went wrong
And I just don't know how long
They will make me stay to pay for my crime
And I wish I was
Rollin'home, rollin'home
Home to the place I long to be
Oh, oh, oh, rollin'home, rollin'home
There's someone waiting there for me
There's a law that rules this land
That I just didn't understand
I didn't know that I was doing wrong
But they don't seem to care
and they all do it when they're over there
But here your face is justice of their godAnd I wish I was
Rollin'home, rollin'home
Home to the place I long to be
Oh, oh, oh, rollin'home, rollin'home
There's someone waiting there for me
All the money that I've saved
To pay for better days
Just can't make up for how I miss you so
There's no consolation prize
Oh, but when I close my eyes
I'm dreaming of you in our new home
And I wish I was
Rollin'home, rollin'home
Home to the place I long to be
Oh, oh, oh, rollin'home, rollin'home
There's someone waiting there for me
Rollin'home there's somone waiting for me
Rollin'home there's somone waiting for me

Top Status Quo, End Of The Line

( Patrick / Parfitt )
Call me if you need me, woman
Don't feel you're all alone
You've been away for much too long
It's time that you came home
Out on the town, you've been fooling around
I've been talking to myself
I fantasise about the look in your eyes
It's magic in itself
But my heart's stopped healing
And I can't help feeling it's the end of the line
Staying away, don't let them say
That it's the end of the line
Please don't hurt me
Don't desert me, it's the end of the line
Think it over, come on over
It's the end of the line
When you say that you want me woman
Is it just a lie?
Saying things that you don't believe
Can only mean goodbyeDreaming of all the times we had
It seems all over now
Can't you see that I want you back
But I just can't see how
But my heart's stopped healing
And I can't help feeling it's the end of the line
Staying away, don't let them say
That it's the end of the line
Please don't hurt me
Don't desert me, it's the end of the line
Think it over, come on over
It's the end of the line
But my heart's stopped healing
And I can't help feeling it's the end of the line
Staying away, but don't let them say
That it's the end of the line
Please don't hurt me
Don't desert me, it's the end of the line
Think it over, come on over
It's the end of the line

Top Status Quo, I'm Giving Up My Worrying

( Rossi / Frost )
I'm giving up my worrying
It doesn't fit my way
I've had enough of worrying
And messing up my day
Somebody made me laugh today
It changed the way I am
He terrorised the neighbourhood
So I can take the blame
If I take a look - just a little look
I know I'll be too late
So shall I take a look - 'cos every time I look
Little, little, just a little late
I'm giving up my worrying
It doesn't fit my way
I've had enough of worrying
And messing up my day
It doesn't help me listening
To everything I hear
It doesn't make no difference
It never is too clearI saw a look-alike today
He was a lot to see
He was familiar anyway
He looked a lot like me
Shall I take a look - just a little look
It isn't very clear
Oh every time I look - if I take a look
Little, little, just a little late
I'm giving up my worrying
It doesn't fit my way
I've had enough of worrying
And messing up my day
It doesn't help me listening
To everything I hear
It doesn't make no difference
It never is too clear
I'm giving up my worrying
I've had enough of worrying
I'm giving up my worrying
I've had enough of worrying
I'm giving up my worrying
I've had enough of worrying

Top Status Quo, Accident Prone

( Williams / Hutchins )
I'm a lay-by lover
And you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now your on your own
'Cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun
They say the devil loves his own
And lady you just got the roll
He drives you modus-operandi
Well lady you don't get this soul
What you call love I can't take no more
Go knock on someone else's door
I'm a lay-by lover
And you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now your on your own
'Cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun
'Cos you specialise your own kind of lies
Lady you just hit and run
I just wanna say you keep driving that way
And one day you will be undone
I try to love you my way
But lady you just wouldn't slow down
You drove a right on through me
When other guys came around
What you call love wouldn't give to a stray
I wouldn't treat a dog that way
I'm a lay-by lover
And you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now your on your own
'Cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun'Cos you specialise your own kind of lies
Lady you just hit and run
I just wanna say you keep driving that way
And one day you will be undone
One day you'll have to slow down
And lady it could be too late
You keep on acceleratin'
And lady I could see your fate
No-one wants a second-hand car
They know it been push too far
I'm a lay-by lover
And you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now your on your own
'Cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun
'Cos you specialise your own kind of lies

Top Status Quo, Forty-Five Hundred Times

( Rossi / Parfitt )
There's nobody on the end of my line
I'm in time but somebody's missing
Maybe I can find a hand for my hand
If I find a well for my wishing
Be my friend, be my friend
It gets lonely on a table for two
Laughing on your own can be no fun
Even people that are talking to you
Remind you that you're really with no-one
Be my friend, be my friend
Take me over like a thing from the past
Lots of people wishing they'd been there
No-one knowing just how long it would last
But I'm sitting still here in my chair
Be my friend, be my friend
Forty-five hundred times I told you how much I care
Forty-five hundred times I told you how much I care
Problems halved are the problems that we can share
White lies in our eyes, together not really thereForty-five hundred times I told you you can lean on me
Forty-five hundred times I told you you can lean on me
Though it's taken a long time for you to see
Where we're at is the right place for us to be
I sure want to stay here, it sure feels fine
I feel I could be here a long long time
Now that I've made it, I don't want to fade it
Now that I've made it with you
We came a long way, a slow way too
Up from the down way and back to you
Now that I've made it I don't want to fade it
Now that I've made it with you

Top Status Quo, And It's Better Now

( Rossi / Young )
Riding along on the words of a song in my head
Thinking all day of the thoughts in my mind never said
I have needed a friend, over and over again
Everyone sings of a God they have known
Now I have a God of my own
And it's better now, been a long, long time
And it's better now that the words can rhyme
Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song
Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song
Dreaming away, never wishing to be anyone
Never a question or reason to find right or wrong
When I looked at the end, over and over again
Riding along on the words of a song
Thinking my time had all gone
And it's better now, been a long, long time
And it's better now that the words can rhyme
Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song
Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song

Top Status Quo, Mad About The Boy

( Rossi / Young )
She never has to worry
And she never has to try
She's never in a hurry
And I know the reason why
She's got her Daddie's
And her fingers in some pies
She makes a double of a trouble with her lies
She says, Oh I'm mad about the boy
She says, Oh I'm mad about the boy
She says, Oh I'm mad about the boy
She's always late to meet me
And she always has to go
To make another entry
At another coolie show
She is a dirty little lady
But I know
She only has to say the chorus and I go
She says, Oh I'm mad about the boy
She says, Oh-oh-oh I'm mad about the boy
She says, Oh I'm mad about the boy
Don't tell me your troubles
I've got troubles that would make you scream and shout
Don't tell me your troubles
I've got troubles I will tell you all aboutNo I don't take a drink
No I won't take a drink
But I sure take some ups and some downs
She makes me so weary
She picks me up to put me down
Don't tell me your troubles
I've got troubles that would make you scream and shout
Don't tell me your troubles
I've got troubles I will tell you all about
No I don't take a drink
No I won't take a drink
But I sure take some ups and some downs
You makes me so weary
You pick it up and put me down
You never have to worry
And you never have to try
You're never in a hurry
And I know the reason why
You got your Daddie's
And your fingers in some pies
You makes a double of a trouble with your lies
You say, Oh I'm mad about the boy
You say, Oh-oh-oh I'm mad about the boy
You say, Oh I'm mad about the boy

Top Status Quo, Is There A Better Way

( Lancaster / Rossi )
Is there a better way
Is there a better way

There's got to be a way
To make a better day
I'm gonna find away
To make a better day
You're never gonna be the one to hold me down

You've got to find a way
To make a better day
You've got to live and learn
To fight another day

There may be someone in the crowdIs there a better way
Is there a better way
Is there a better way ahead
Or just another day
Maybe you'll never know
A better way to go
I've got a feeling
You don't really want to know

Top Status Quo, Win Or Lose

( Rossi / Frost )
Win or lose, lose or win
I ain't ever doing that again
Keeping out and never creeping in
No I ain't ever doing that again
I know I've done some silly things
But I ain't ever doing that again
No I ain't ever doing that again
Sailed away to foreign place
Not so far or hard to trace
I didn't wanna know
Knowing I had to go
Left my place of residence
Down the drive and past the fence
I'm coming back again
Wish I could tell you when
I never been away so long before
Surley now I must be sure
Win or lose, lose or win
I ain't ever doing that again
Keeping out and never creeping in
No I ain't ever doing that again
I know I've done some silly things
But I ain't ever doing that again
No I ain't ever doing that again Got to one place really fine
Getting out to quite a time
A little trouble there
I didn't seem very fair
Tried to go we had a fight
So they made us stay the night
And it was harassing
Very embarrassing
That's another place that I have seen
A place I wish I haven't been
Win or lose, lose or win
I ain't ever doing that again
Keeping out and never creeping in
No I ain't ever doing that again
I know I've done some silly things
But I ain't ever doing that again
No I ain't ever doing that again
I ain't ever doing that again
No I ain't ever doing that again

Top Status Quo, Cross That Bridge

( J.David )
I wasn't born in a lap de-luxe
I didn't have no silver spoon
We all dream 'bout mega bucks
Like wishing for the moon.
They say money just buys you problems
Bigger taxes, jealousy
Big decisions on what to do with it all
That's the kind of problem I mean.
I would cross that bridge when I come to it
When I come to it
I wanna get to it
Gonna cross that bridge when I come to it
Maybe just around the bend.
Then I'm gonna burn that bridge other side of it
Other side of it
Greener side of it
Gonna burn that bridge other side of it
'cos I'll never wanna go back there.
I thought I'd been in love
But it's a feeling I can't trust
'cos nine times out of nine I find
I've been head over heels in lust
Married men say, love's nothing but trouble
Like it's some kind of terminal disease
They say love's strange, love is blind, love hurts
Well, that's the kind of trouble I need.
I would cross that bridge when I come to it
When I come to it
I wanna get to it
Gonna cross that bridge when I come to it
Maybe just around the bend.I said never, never, never, never - never
Never come back again - no
Never come back again.
They say money can't buy you happiness
And that true love never runs smooth
They talk of the trouble, and the strife they bring
Well I don't care, 'cos here's what I would do
I would cross that bridge when I come to it
When I come to it
I wanna get to it
Gonna cross that bridge when I come to it
Maybe just around the bend.
Then I'm gonna burn that bridge other side of it
Other side of it
Greener side of it
Gonna burn that bridge other side of it
'cos I'll never wanna go back there.
I said never, never, never, never - never
Never come back again - no
Never come back again

Top Status Quo, Cream Of The Crop

( Rossi / Frost )
I gotta get myself far, far away
I gotta tell myself that anyway
I can't forget the way that you used to be
Now all in all it seems so different to me
I said oh-oh Rosalee
Oh my Rosalee
Oh every time I see you I have to stop
And everybody says you are the cream of the crop
But if you're looking angry in any way
I don't believe I could stand in your way
My one and only carriage, it rolls along
My funny love affair has found a way to go on
I won't change for you, you haven't changed for me
I don't suppose you have an answer for me
I've been around this place for quite a time
I've been around just feeling really fine
I can't believe I feel like nothing today
Well I don't feel too much anyway
I said oh-oh Rosalee
Oh my RosaleeOh every time I see you I have to stop
And everybody says you are the cream of the crop
But if you're looking angry in any way
I don't believe I could stand in your way

Top Status Quo, Rain

( Parfitt )
How can I see what I'm leaving for
How can I give what I gave before
How can you tell me that you want me to stay
How can I stay when I'm trying to say
That I can live without the rain
Yes I can live without the rain
How can I feel what I'm trying to feel
How can move when I'm heel to heel
You're always shouting about the doubt in my eye
But I can't answer 'cos my eyes are so dry
Now I can live without the rain
Yes I can live without the rain
I can live without the rain
That's falling on my head
Rain that's falling on my headRain that's falling
Rain that's falling
Rain that's falling on my head
I started thinking back to you know when
I'd like to send a line but then again
How can I write you when there ain't no light
I'm feeling thight tonight and that's alright
Now I can live without the rain
Yes I can live without the rain

Top Status Quo, Dreamin'

Dreamin'
Rossi/Frost - Dump/Eaton Music
I heard you cry tonight while you were sleeping tight
What were you dreamin'?
Was it another guy and did he make you cry
While you were dreamin'?
I don't find it easy to say
But I think it's right that you have to know
Why won't you understand you're being underhand
About your dreamin'?
I love you more and more, of that you can be sure,
Even your dreamin'.
I don't mind if you just say
You dream of us both but I have to know
You've got to understand you're being underhand about your dreamin'
Dreams, dreams, dreams, some are never long enough
Dreams, dreams, dreams, some are never good enough
I wonder do, do, do you ever get to sleep at night?
Who, who, who is it gonna be tonight?
You've been a naughty girl, you've got me in a whirl
I do believe it
You know you can be sure I want you more and more
Can you believe it?
I don't find it easy to say
But I think it's right that you have to know
You've been a naughty girl, you've got me in a whirl
I do believe it
You are a naughty girl, you've got me in a whirl
Can you believe it?
You've been a naughty girl, you've got me in a whirl
About your dreamin'
About your dreamin'
About your dreamin' ....

Top Status Quo, Red Sky

I was out on the highway
I was out on my feet
I was tired and hungry
I was late for the meet.
I had a red sky behind me
I had the bad guys on my tail
I had a hundred different reasons
To keep me falling awake
I had a red sky behind me
With the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going
Was soon I'm gonna make it with you
I had the desert on both sides now
I had the lights in my eyes
Of the town I remember
Up ahead in the cold black sky
I had a red sky behind me
I had the bad guys on my tail
I had a hundred different reasons
To keep me falling awake
I had a red sky behind me
With the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going
Was soon I'm gonna make it with you
Well I remember that old saying 'bout how good tomorrow will be
But will I be lucky to see with a red sky's lucky for me
In my dreams there is a picture of me in a big gold frame
And the poeple that I've never seen are pointing at my name
I had a red sky behind me
I had the bad guys on my tail
I had a hundred different reasons
To keep me falling awake
I had a red sky behind me
With the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going
Was soon I'm gonna make it with you
I had a red sky behind me
With the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going

Top Status Quo, Marguerita Time

Captured my heart, captured my memory
Captured a time for me, I could see
A time for me was gonna be
Deep in my heart, deep in my memory
Deep in a part of me, heart of me
Meant to be history
Could it be that I'm still wondering
I never knew what had happened to me
I didn't think it was true
That I could be just like anyone else
I'll take my chance with you
Picture a dream, picture a fantasy
Picture the mood of me, mystery
You and me, a mystery
Lost in a dream, lost in a fantasy
Lost in what seemed to be dreams to me
Seemed to be, had to be
Couldn't find no other reason
I never knew what had happened to me
I didn't think it was true
That I could be just like anyone else
I'll take my chance with you
Let's have a drink, it's Marguerita time
It's Marguerita time, after nine
Summertime, anytime
You'll still always find me wondering
I never knew what had happened to me
I didn't think it was true
That I could be just like anyone else

Top Status Quo, Heavy Traffic

Everybody's been a long time talking
Ain't nobody said a word that's true
Ain't it time to stop this crap type talking
Won't you tell us what you're gonna do
Tell you what why don't we break this pattern
Tell you what why don't we do some do
All together we can make it happen
Untogether and we won't get through
Wanna drive yeh drive
I wanna drive but I can't get no-where
Heavy traffic all over this town
I wanna drive yeh drive
I wanna drive I gotta get somewhere
Heavy traffic is bringing me down
Every time I see the red light burning
Don't it always make the air turn blue
But until we see the red light turning
There ain't nothing anyone can do
We all dream about an open highway
Making dreams is all that we can do
We'd be moving on if I had my way
Nothing can stop me getting back to you
Wanna drive yeh drive
I wanna drive but I can't get no-where
Heavy traffic all over this town
I wanna drive yeh drive
I wanna drive I gotta get somewhere
Heavy traffic coming into this town
I wanna drive yeh drive
I wanna drive but I can't get no-where
Heavy traffic all over this town
I wanna drive yeh drive
I wanna drive I gotta get somewhere
Heavy traffic is bringing me down
Heavy traffic all over this town
Heavy traffic all over this town
Heavy traffic coming into this town
