Rock Til You Drop

Status Quo Rock Til You Drop Lyrics
1.All We Really Wanna Do(Polly)

( rossi / frost )

I thought it over in a quiet room
What about it, what about the dream
Of the future, looking much better
Wonder what is on the other side
When we get there, if we do make it
Better than it was before

I think about it, would we be the same
Working at it, will we fall again
For the same lines and the same reasons
Would we let them take us for a ride
By the next time and the time after
Won't be any time at all
No there won't be any time at all

'cos all we really wanna do is what we wanna do and do it all
the day
But we never ever think about it, life goes on and love gets in
the way
Everybody does the same old thing and goes ahead and does it
anyway

Write a letter to a magazine
Talk about it, talk about the dream
Of the future, looking much better
Wonder what is on the other side
By the next time and the time after
Won't be any time at all
No there won't be any time at all

'cos all we really wanna do is what we wanna do and do it all
the day
But we never ever think about it, life goes on and love gets in
the way
All we really wanna do is what we wanna do and do it all the day
But we never ever think about it, life goes on and love gets in
the way
All we really wanna do is what we wanna do and do it all the day
But we never ever think about it, life goes on and love gets in
the way


2.Bring It On Home

( cooke )

If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Oh-oh bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah

You know i laughed when you left
But now i know i only hurt myself
Oh-oh bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'll give you jewellery, money too
And that's not all, all i'll do for you
Oh-oh bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah, yeah

You know i'll always be your slave
'til i'm dead and buried in my grave
Oh-oh bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah, yeah

If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Oh-oh bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah
Bring your sweet loving, bring it on home to me, yeah
Bring your sweet loving, bring it on home to me, yeah
Bring your sweet loving, bring it on home to me, yeah
Bring your sweet loving, bring it on home to me, yeah


3.Can't Give You More

( rossi / young )

Now you know this ain't the kind of life for you
It's not the way you thought that it would be
If i could change my way to you
If i could change, it wouldn't be me
And you see

I know i never tried the things i should have done
Oh and time is always passing by
I want to do the things i never done before
So i do try not to tell a lie
When i'm so low, when i'm so high
Yet you cry when i say i can't give you more

First you said you'd never try to slow me down
That ev'rything would work out really fine
But as those walls closed in on us
Your words just fell right out of line
And behind

I know i never tried the things i should have done
And time is always passing by
I want to do the things i never done before
So i do try not to tell a lie
When i'm so low, when i'm so high
Yet you cry when i say i can't give you more

Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more
Can't give any more
Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more
Ain't got any more

Did you figure ours would be an easy thing
Like lazy days of lying in the sun
I told you if you wanted me
That ev'ry day just wouldn't be fun
Now it's done

I know i never tried the thing i should have done
And time is always passing by
I want to do the things i never done before
So i do try not to tell a lie
When i'm so low, when i'm so high
Yet you cry when i say i can't give you more

Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more
Can't give you more
Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more
I ain't got any more
Oh, oh, oh, i ain't got any more
I ain't got any more
Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more
I ain't got any more

6.Forty-five Hundred Times

( rossi / parfitt )

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

8.Let's Work Together

( harrison )

Together we stand, divided we fall
Come on now people let's get on the ball
And work together, come on, come on
Let's work together, now, now people
'cos together we will stand every boy, every girl and man

Before when things go wrong as they sometimes will
And the world that you're travelling stays all uphill
Let's work together, come on, come on
Let's work together, now, now people
You know together we will stand every boy, girl, woman and man

Oh well now, two or three minutes, two or three hours
What does it matter now in this life of ours?
Let's work together, come on, come on
Let's work together, now, now people
'cos together we will stand every boy, every woman and man

Oh well, make someone happy, make someone smile
Let's all work together and make life worthwhile
Let's work together, come on, come on
Let's work together, now, now people
You know together we will stand every boy, girl, woman and man

Because together we will stand every boy, girl, woman and man
Well, together we will stand every boy, girl, woman and man

Let's work together, come on, come on
Let's work together, come on, come on
Let's work together, come on, come on
Let's work together, come on, come on


9.Like A Zombie

( rossi / frost )

Couldn't see my funny side
As far as i recall
And it didn't mean much to me
Carried on messing round
And getting lower every day
And then a little while later
Looking for a way
To get ahead of all the ups and downs
On the road, back at home
It didn't matter much to me

Running round every corner
Walk around every street
Running round like a madman
Run yourself off your feet
Walk about like a zombie
Run about like a freak
Running round like a maniac
Flipping out every week

Well i just gotta get away
As far as i can go
And as long as i don't see you there
Turn around, look again
What is happening to me?
Well am i getting paranoid
Or maybe superstition
Is making me feel this way
Checking in, checking out
I seem to do it every day

Running round every corner
Walk around every street
Running round like a madman
Run yourself off your feet
Walk about like a zombie
Run about like a freak
Running round like a maniac
Flipping out every week

Now i've been working on the road
As long as i recall
And it's feeling like yesterday
Giggling, travelling
And getting better every day
Well i was getting paranoid
Or maybe superstition
Was making me feel this way
Checking in, checking out
I seem to do it every day

Running round every corner
Walk around every street
Running round like a madman
Run yourself off your feet
Walk about like a zombie
Run about like a freak
Running round like a maniac
Flipping out every week

Running round every corner
Walk around every street
Running round like a madman
Run yourself off your feet
Walk about like a zombie
Run about like a freak
Running round like a maniac
Flipping out every week


10.No Problems


11.Nothing Comes Easy

( rossi / parfitt / bown / edwards / rich )

Fussing and fighting alone with our friends
Holding our breath and hoping it never will end
It's been a long, long haul
We would be ducking and diving, a rise then a fall
Pretending the ups and the downs didn't matter at all
And we got it almost right
Well there were hundreds and hundreds of mumbling miles
Always a personal reason to cop or to smile
Now there's a green light

We came and we went, we went then we came
Slowly but surely we learnt that it wasn't a game
But it was good clean fun
We were just second-hand cars along with the rest
Holding our own and hanging on in with the best
Nothing comes easy

Drinking and thinking what we'd rather do
Nothing of any real interest is coming on through
Maybe we're all right now
But in the end does it matter, matter at all?
Scratching a living and having one hell of a ball
Nothing comes easy


12.One Man Band

( parfitt / williams )

When i'm talkin' nothing's getting through
If i'm sreaming it's never clear to you
Can you hear me , am i wasting my time
Am i working in a one man band

When i'm lookin' straight into your eyes
Is there anyone home , you're tellin' me lies
Listen to me , are you wasting my time
It's lonely in a one man band
Lonely in a one man band

Words out of line , don't ever hurt you
Forever crying trying to turn you around

Woh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh

Anticipating what you're gonna do
Still waiting for a sign from you
Come together or we're wasting my time
And i'll always be a one man band
I'll always be a one man band
It's lonely in a one man band

Woh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh


13.Price Of Love


14.Rock 'til You Drop

( bown )

Don't hang up your shoes
Just kick out the blues
And rock 'til you drop tonight

All we do
Depends upon you
So rock 'til you drop tonight

We hit all the high spots
The star studded bills and the mirror balls
Half of the time we were playing a game
Half of the time i could hardly remember my name

So stay with us now
And hang in somehow
And rock 'til you drop tonight
Rock 'til you drop tonight
Rock 'til you drop

We hit all the high spots
The star studded bills and the movie balls
Half of the time we were playing a game
Half of the time i could hardly remember my name

So stay with us now
And hang in somehow
And rock 'til you drop tonight

All we do
Depends upon you
So rock 'til you drop tonight
Rock 'til you drop tonight
Rock 'til you drop tonight
Rock 'til you drop tonight

16.Warning Shot

( bown / edwards )

Ticket to the world, learn a trade or two
Hey now, it suits me somehow
How 'bout you

Freeze me in the wind, burn me in the sun
Hey ho, on with the show
Good clean fun

After it all i'll take you home, after this dream has gone
If we're lucky we'll never be called to stand again
Defenders of the peace with all we've got
Someone has to fire the warning shot

Masters of the air, rulers of the sea
Hey hey our turn today
Victory

Nothing you can lose, everything to gain
Hey guys, try it for size
This ball and chain

After it all i'll take you home, after this dream has gone
If we're lucky we'll never be called to stand again
Defenders of the peace with all we've got
Someone has to fire the warning shot

Teach all your children to follow the leader
Do as he says without question or reason
Fight for the flag and to hell with the rest
Surrender your freedom to serve with the best

After it all i'll take you home, after this dream has gone
If we're lucky we'll never be called to stand again
Defenders of the peace with all we've got
Someone has to fire the warning...
After it all i'll take you home, after this dream has gone
If we're lucky we'll never be called to stand again
Defenders of the peace with all we've got
Someone has to fire the warning shot
