| Status Quo – Pictures Of Matchstick Men Lyrics | 13 years ago |

wow Simmer down ralphus; take a breath I have to agree with ohms. When this song first came out, I couldn't understand most of the words. I just liked the strange overmodulated trebley guitar and the wah-wah pedal effect. Now, 45 years later (am I reaaly that old?), with digital reproductions (clarity) and an internet to instantly look up song lyrics these songs that I thought were great sound even better. And, ohms, I agree that on close listening, your lyrics are correct. And I agree that this is probably a case of a guy who's got it bad and can not get this girl out of his mind. C'mon. This was the mid/late 1960's. Psychedelic rock and roll was not about murder. |
