Status Quo – Pictures Of Matchstick Men

Posted on February 3rd, 2010 by admin

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 peaking 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 a-lone
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

    Great tune. Such a bitchin, trippy riff. Also I agree, I do see a bit of meathead in the lead singer. Man I miss the days when it was cool for a young man to have a moustache. Now you have to deal with all the homosexual or star conotations if you sport one. Ahhh those were better times indeed

    Is it just me, or does the lead singer look like Rob Reiner in his “All In The Family” days?

    Underrated rock band and a song that should’ve been a Top Ten hit in the U.S.

    Great British psychedelic rock masterpiece.
