Status Quo Album

The world is in a mess, it's finished more or less
It doesn't really matter
And it's never too late to change it
It's never too late to change it

Did you take a look? Any sort of look?
I'm sure you would remember
'Cos it wouldn't need much explaining
'Cos it's never too late for changing

The world is in a mess, and finished more or less
It doesn't really matter
And it's never too late to change it
It's never too late to change it
It's never too late for changing
Never too late for changing

Now this old sea dog's gonna get away 'cross the water
This old sea-dog is waving you bye-bye
But I don't think God thought we'd get out of order
This old sea-dog is waving you bye-bye

But now it's getting late, too late to hesitate
I can't wait any longer
So there's no use in you complaining
'Cos it's never too late for changing

Did you take a look? Any sort of look?
I'm sure you would remember
'Cos it wouldn't need much explaining
'Cos it's never too late for changing

I've told you once or twice it could be paradise
So listen when I'm talking to you
Shouldn't take much explaining
The world is gonna need some changes
Never too late to change it, never too late for changing
Never too late to change it, never too late for changing

Now this old sea dog's gonna get away 'cross the water
This old sea-dog is waving you bye-bye
But I don't think God thought we'd get out of order
This old sea-dog is waving you bye-bye

I see you every day walking down the avenue
I'd like to get to know you but all I do is smile at you.
Oh baby, when it comes to talking my tongue gets so tight
This sidewalk love affair has got me high as a kite
Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like

Well I'm a slow walker but girl I'd race a mile for you
Just to get back in time for my peek-a-boo rendezvous
Well baby maybe it's the way you wear your blue jeans so tight
I can't put my finger on what you're doing right
Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like

Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like

Well I'm standing on a corner smiling by a telephone
I'd like to check you over, get to know you with a fine tooth comb
Oh baby, when I get home I turn out the light
And then you come a strolling through my dreams every night
Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like
Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like

Charter me something, even a bike
Get me away from here
Buy me some transport and spend what you like
Just get me away from here
Something to take me away
Take me away
I'm shaking, breaking
Get me outta here

Build me a coffin and measure me now
Or get me away from here
I know I'm not ready to end it somehow
Get me away from here
Something to take me away
Take me away
I'm shaking, breaking
Get me outta here

Take me away, take me away
I'm shaking, breaking
Get me outta here

A mental disorder, a physical wreck
Get me away from here
The glamorous life is a pain in the neck
Get me away from here
Take me away, take me away
I'm shaking, breaking
Get me outta here

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 be too much fun
Tonight tonight

I'm standing in line again
Wasting 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
I 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't recall your name
Tonight tonight
How can I tell 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
Wasting 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
I 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
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
I 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

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 cruise on out
I know a swinging little 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 every 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, you want to hear some music like the boys are playing
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 dance, I know you wish you could
I got my eyes on you baby 'cos 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
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day

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

You're climbing mountains in the sky
You're always looking for another high
You're looking so far ahead you're looking away
I'm taking you in, you're taking me on
Your smiling face never lets you down
Where everyone who calls you friend remembers your name
And everyone who called you friend will never again

I'm taking a walk in your heart
I'm feeling my way through the dark
I'm taking a walk in your heart
I'm taking a walk in your heart

I've known the mountain ladies well
They live a never-ending fairytale
Where walking through another heart is all in a day
They treat me well, they treat me nice
They think that I'm gonna pay the price
So now I'm gonna put you straight, you're playing my game

I'm taking a walk in your heart
I'm feeling my way through the dark
Oh, I'm taking a walk in your heart
I'm taking a walk in your heart

There's never been a better reason 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
I'm feeling my way through the dark
Yeah I'm taking a walk in your heart

Oh baby please, I'm on my knees
Oh baby please don't stop me now
Oh baby please don't stop me now

I scheme all night and I dream all day
I'm so paranoid someone's gonna take you away
You look surprised and I'm so amazed
But don't let true love fade away

I see your face and I hear your name
Give me one chance and no-one's gonna take you away
You look surprised and I'm so amazed
But don't let true love fade away

Oh baby please, I'm on my knees
Oh baby please don't stop me now
Oh baby please, it's always been a dream
If it's really me don't stop me now
Oh baby please don't stop me now

You look surprised and I'm so amazed
But don't let true love fade away
You look surprised and I'm so amazed
But don't let true love fade away

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
Enough is enough

Oh I don't care what you say to me
You're gonna be back banging round at my door
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
Enough is enough

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 from 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 from 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 way

She 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
Riverside, riverside
