Status Quo Tribute EP

Pictures Of Matchstick Men

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 I see your face come peeking 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 gone
When will this haunting stop your face it just wont leave me alone
Pictures of matchstick men and you mirages of matchstick men and you
All I ever see is them and you

You in the sky you with this guy you make men cry you lie
You in the sky you with this guy you make men cry you lie

Forty-Five Hundred Times

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 there
Forty-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

Roll Over Lay Down

When I got home that night early one morning
Seeing the note written in ink pinned to the door
Drinking the drink cold from the fridge on the table
I drank a toast you were the most the night before
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over it's a long way where I've been
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over lay down

When I get home tomorrow night after this morning
Show me the care you showed in the note the night before
Maybe I won't take a drink from the table
Reckon I'll lay me straight down on the floor
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over it's a long way where I've been
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over lay down

When I get home tomorrow night after this morning
Show me the day, show me the note the night before
Maybe I won't take a drink from the table
Reckon I'll lay me straight down on the floor
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over it's a long way where I've been
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over lay down

Whatever You Want

Whatever you want whatever you like
Whatever you say you pay your money you take your choice
Whatever you need whatever you use
Whatever you win whatever you lose
Whatever you want

You're showing off you're showing out
You look for trouble turn around, give me a shout
I take it all you squeeze me dry
And now today you couldn't even say goodbye
I could take you home on the midnight train again
I could make an offer you can't refuse

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

Roll The Dice

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
