Status Quo Album

Excuse me crying, can't you hear what I'm saying?
I guess I'm dying, going on my way.
I know there's something, something's going wrong now
There's no tune to the music

My eyes are burning, can't nobody hear me?
My head is turning, need somebody near me
But since you wonder, everything is so wrong
There's no tune to the music

The sounds are ringing, emptiness is all mine.
Nobody bringing things to make me feel fine
I know there's something, something's going wrong now
There's no tune to the music

Excuse me crying, can't you hear what I'm saying?
I guess I'm dying, going on my way.
I know there's something, something's going wrong now
There's no tune to the music, no words to my song

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 allright

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
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

Monday morning, beautiful sunshine
Don't wanna go to work now
Guess I won't be missed this one time
Nobody's 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'd 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

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 on down on me
Shining on down on me

And it was the light
That took me through the night
Shining down on me
Shining down on me

Let it shine on me
Let it shine

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 want to 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

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 me
Just take me
Just take me now
Won't you just take me

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 yours true, not 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'd say they 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 and 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'd say they better not come between
Little me and you, me and you

Little me and you, well we go back
Back to the schoolyard, 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'd say they better not come between
Little me and you, me and you

Me and you, now we go back
Back to the schoolyard, that's a fact
The bestest times I've 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'd say they better not come between
Little me and you, me and you

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 everything you wanted me to
Well I tried and you lied, I was left here back in the blue

If you're 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 you're 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 you're 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 you're 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

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 anybody's 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 a 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 anybody's 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 anybody's 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 anybody's guess really more or less
Where it's gonna go

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 want to 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 want to 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'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
I'm gonna love you night and day
Love is love, and not fade away
Love is love, and not fade away

My love's bigger than a Cadillac
I try to show it but you drive me back
Your love for me has gotta be real
For you to know just how I feel
And not fade away, not fade away
Not fade away

My love's bigger than a Cadillac
I try to show it but you drive me back
Love to last more than one day
Love is love and not fade away
Said, love is love and not fade away
Not fade away

I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
I wanna love you night and day
Love is love, and not fade away
Love is love, and not fade away
Not fade away, it won't fade away

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 our bodies slow up, no, no, no
We think again but do we understand?

That's the way it goes, oh 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, oh 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, oh 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

Yeah, those velvet wings can't help you fly
Those velvet wings won't always help you to get by
But you must carry on
