Live At The Nec

Status Quo Live At The Nec Lyrics
1.Backwater

( parfitt / lancaster )

Down at backwater junction
Rolling down the line
In the dark early morning
I heard the one-forty-nine
I was walking down the highway
Needed somewhere to go
A lady laid beside me
And she invited me home
She led me cold, tired and hungry
Down the backwater road

In a house on the corner
Looking over the track
I woke up with a fever
And a pain in my back
She was lying there beside me
My fever started to grow
Had a funny feeling
But the lady said no
The lover needs a doctor
Down the backwater road

Whatcha' lookin' for
Whatcha' lookin' for
Lady do you know whatcha' lookin' for
Was i wrong to play along
Lady was i right or lady was i wrong

Backwater doctor
You've got me breathing in time
It's ten-thirty in the morning
And i'm feeling alright
I went back to my lady
But i wasn't to know
Lady left this morning
And she's not coming home
I was cold when she left me
Down the backwater road


2.Caroline

( rossi / young )

If you want to turn me onto
Anything you really want to
Turn me onto your love sweet love

If the night-time is the right time
Anytime of yours is my time
We can find time for love sweet love

Come on sweet caroline
You're my sweet caroline
You know i want to take you
I've really got to make you
Come on sweet caroline
Take my hand together we can rock-n-roll

When i'm thinking of you sleeping
I'm at home alone and weeping
Are you keeping your love sweet love

Do you still care when i'm not there
Do you really wish i was there
Can i come there for love sweet love

Come on sweet caroline
You're my sweet caroline
You know i want to take you
I've really got to make you
Come on sweet caroline
Take my hand together we can rock-n-roll


3.Don't Drive My Car

( parfitt / bown )

Ah ah ah ah, don't drive my car
I'm just a boy, my favourite toy
And i'm telling you woman
Don't push me too far
I'm telling you straight, don't drive my car

Ah ah ah ah, don't drive my car
Stay where you are, stay where you are
'cos i'm telling you woman
Now don't you push me too far
I'm telling you straight, don't drive my car

And i'm telling you woman
Now don't you push me too far
I'm telling you straight, don't drive my car

And i'm telling you woman
Now don't you push me too far
I'm telling you straight, don't drive my car


4.Don't Waste My Time

( rossi / young )

You spend my money
You drink my best red wine
You think it's funny
To see me all the time
Sitting with my head hanging down
Treating me just like a clown
You spend my money
But come on honey don't waste my time

When you get older
You'll see what you have done
You hung on my shoulder
And loved me just for fun
But some day when i'm older too
I'm gonna come and make fool out of you
You spend my money
And honey
You sure did waste my time

You spend my money
You drink my best red wine
You think it's funny
To see me all the time
Sitting with my head hanging down
Treating me like a clown
You spend my money
Come on honey don't waste my time


5.Hold You Back

( rossi / young / parfitt )

How d'you know the music
When you don't know the score
Do you think that you can make it
When you don't need no more
Is it really the reason
When it is not a need
Are you trying hard to write it
Before you can read

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Slow you down, you've gotta try

Does the clock that you're watching
Ever tell you 'bout the time
Does the song that you're singing
Sound to you like a rhyme
Will there be an answer
When you stop askin why
Or because of the jigsaw that makes up a lie

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Slow you down, you've gotta try

How d'you know the music
When you don't know the score
Do you think that you can make it
When you don't need no more
Is it really the reason
When it is not a need
Are you trying hard to write it
Before you can read

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Slow you down, you've gotta try

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Slow you down
Hold you back hold you back slow you down


6.Little Lady

( parfitt )

Well i saw my little lady
Walking down the street
And i asked her where you going to
Well i saw my little lady
Walking down the street
She said she'd found somebody new
Found myself all alone
Ain't no fun on your own
Now i'm like a rolling stone

So i made another lady
And so many more
Didn't really know wich way to go
So i made another lady
And so many more
But no-one did i get to know
Found myself all alone
Ain't no fun on your own
Now i'm like a rolling stone

Then i saw my little lady
Walking down the street
Didn't know where she was going to
So i told my little lady
Walking down the street
Now you know what i've been going through
Found herself all alone
Ain't no fun on your own
Living like a rolling stone

I was like a rolling
I was like a rolling stone


7.Over The Edge

( lancaster / lamb )

I'm shaking all over
From my head to my feet
I thought i was cold but
I've been really feeling the heat
You're turning me on
You're driving me crazy

My temperature's rising
When i'm talking to you
It wouldn't surprise me
If you told me a hundred and two
What's going on?
You're driving me crazy

And i'm falling, i'm falling, i'm falling
Yeah i'm falling, im falling' i'm falling
I've never felt like it before
Surely it's against the law
What's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on?
You're driving me crazy

You gave me the fever
And the fever is hot
Taking me higher and higher
Right to the top
Don't let it stop
You're driving me crazy

You gotta believe me
'cos i never pretend
You're doing it now
So do it again
And again
Turning me on
Driving me crazy

And i'm falling, i'm falling, i'm falling
Yeah i'm falling, im falling' i'm falling
And like i said before
Surely it's against the law
What's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on?
You're driving me crazy

Over the edge, i'm falling
Over the edge, i'm falling

Never felt like it before
Surely it's against the law
What's going on?
What's going on?
You're driving me crazy
You're driving me crazy
You're driving me crazy
You're driving me crazy
You're driving me crazy

I'm shaking all over
From my head to my feet
I thought i was cold but
I'm a-feeling the heat
My temperature's rising
When i'm talking to you
It wouldn't surprise me
It's a-hundred-and-two
You gave me the fever
And the fever is hot
It's taking me higher
Right to the top
You gotta believe me
'cos i never pretend
You're doing it now
So do it again

I'm shaking all over
From my head to my feet
I'm shaking all over
I'm shaking all over
I'm shaking all over
From my head to my feet
I'm shaking all over
I'm shaking all over
I'm shaking all over
From my head to my feet
I'm shaking all over
Shaking all over

9.Roll Over Lay Down

( parfitt / rossi / lancaster / young / coghlan )

When i got home that night early one morning
Seeing the note written in ink pinned to the door
Taking a drink cool from the fridge from 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 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 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 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


10.Whatever You Want

( parfitt / bown )

Whatever you want
Whatever you like
Whatever you say
You pay your money
You take your choise
Whatever you need
Whatever you use
Whatever you win
Whatever you loose

You're showing of
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

Whatever you want
Whatever you like
Whatever you say
You pay your money
You take your choise
Whatever you need
Whatever you use
Whatever you win
Whatever you loose

You're showing of
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

Whatever you want
Whatever you like
Whatever you say
You pay your money
You take your choise
Whatever you need
Whatever you use
Whatever you win
Whatever you loose

Whatever you want
