Status Quo Status Quo - Anniversary Waltz Lyrics

ROCK'N'ROLL MUSIC

Just let me hear some of that rock'n'roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat you can't lose it
Any old way you use it
Gotta be rock'n'roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

I got no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too d___ fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until it's sounding like a symphony

That's why I go for that rock'n'roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat you can't lose it
Any old way you use it
Gotta be rock'n'roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

LOVER PLEASE

Lover please, please come back
Don't take the train coming down the track
Don't please, no, don't leave me
Don't leave me in a-misery

You wouldn't ever come so near
You wouldn't ever call me dear
Don't you know I'd die for you
Now you're gone that's what I'll do

Lover please, please come back
Don't take the train coming down the track
Don't please, don't, don't leave me
Don't leave me in a-misery

THAT'LL BE THE DAY

Oh that'll be the day when you say goodbye
That'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cos that'll be the day when I die

You give me all your lovin' and your turtle dovin'
Your hugs and kisses and your money too
You know you love me baby, but still you tell me maybe
That some day well I'll be blue

Oh that'll be the day, woo-hoo
That'll be the day, woo-hoo
That'll be the day,
'Cos that'll be the day when I die

SINGING THE BLUES

I never felt more like singing the blues
'Cos I never thought that I'd ever lose your love dear
You got me singing the blues

The moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do
But cry over you

Oh I never felt more like running away
But why should I go 'cos I couldn't stay without you
You got me singing the blues

WHEN WILL I BE LOVED

I've been made blue, I've been lied to
When will I be loved?
I've been turned down, I've been pushed round
When will I be loved?

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

Together we stand, divided we fall
Come on now people lets get on the ball
And work together, c'mon, c'mon let's work together, now, now people
'Cos together we will stand, every boy girl and man

Before when things go wrong as they sometimes will
And the world that you're travelling stays over the hill
Lets work together, c'mon, c'mon let's work together, now, now people
'Cos together we will stand, every boy girl woman and man

YOU KEEP A KNOCKIN'

You keep a-knockin' but you can't come in
You keep a-knockin' but you can't come in
You keep a-knockin' but you can't come in
Come back tomorrow night and try it again

You say you love me and you can't come in
You say you love me and you can't come in
You say you love me and you can't come in
Come back tomorrow night and try it again

LONG TALL SALLY

We're gonna have some fun tonight
We're gonna have some fun tonight
Everything's all right
We're gonna have some fun tonight
We're gonna have some fun, having some fun tonight

LET'S DANCE

Hey baby won't you take a chance
Say that you'll let me have this dance
Oh let's dance, let's dance
We'll do the twist and stomp, the mashed potato too
Any old dancing that you wanna do, let's dance, let's dance

Hey baby if you're all alone
Say that you'll let me walk you home
Let's dance, let's dance
We'll do the twist and stomp, the mashed potato too
Any old dancing that you wanna do, let's dance, let's dance

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 b____ 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 b____ 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 b____ of fire.
