Picturesque Matchstickable Messages From The Status Quo (1968) Black Veils Of Melancholoy ( Rossi) If I see you hiding in the night by a peppercorn tree The tree it moves, lets me see what I wanna see A poison gaze of your mind is all that's worrying me. The pictures that I see are seen by no-one else but me To cause the night to be in sight, a little point of me I imagine nearly anything I want to see. Black veils of melancholy falling on me Black veils keep shadowing my mind Black veils that make my mind seem small Black veils of melancholy falling on me Black veils keep shadowing my mind Black veils that make my mind seem small I see you with my eyes closed getting closer and closer to me I open my eye up and you're not there It's all in my mind Black veils of melancholy falling on me Black veils keep shadowing my mind Black veils that make my mind seem small Black veils of melancholy falling on me Black veils keep shadowing my mind Black veils that make my mind seem small
When The Mind Is Not Live (Parfitt/Rossi) When my mind is not live I see you there before me Every night in my mind your face flies by me Then the morning light comes to bring reality But my dream lingers on a little while for me Then I wake to see a world full of misery Lots of people rushing by, never know what they wanna be Soon the day draws to it's end and pretty soon I'll be Back with you in my mind because I want to see When my mind is not live I see you there before me Every night in my mind your face flies by me
Ice In The Sun (Wilde/Scott) I'm not a little boy, I've lived alone and never loved so more But when she touches me I'm on the way, I'm underneath the floor Like ice in the sun I melt away Whenever she comes I melt away Like in in the sun I melt away I sit down in a chair and read a book as if I couldn't there But she is in a room and I must look I see her everywhere Like ice in the sun I melt away Whenever she comes I melt away Like in in the sun I melt away She opens up her eyes as if to speak She looks at me and I am weak Her eyes they seem much bigger than before I cannot think anymore Like ice in the sun I melt away Whenever she comes I melt away Like in in the sun I melt away Like ice in the sun I melt away Whenever she comes I melt away Like ice in the sun I melt away
Elizabeth Dreams (Wilde/Scott) Elizabeth dreams of the day when the way That I looked at her made her feel she was real Elizabeth dreams of the time she was mine When she didn't need any more, she was sure She was sure Out of sight, by candlelight And sea green, and see green horses I said she's out of sight by candlelight ?? And fairy, fairy stories Elizabeth is not what she seems Elizabeth dreams, Elizabeth dreams Elizabeth dreams, holding fast through the past When a morning was something new, flowers grew Elizabeth dreams but it's late and she's waited too long And tomorrow goes, now she knows Now she knows Out of sight by candlelight And sea green, and sea green horses
I said she's out of sight, by candlelight And fairy, fairy stories Elizabeth is not what she seems Elizabeth dreams, Elizabeth dreams Elizabeth dreams Elizabeth dreams, Elizabeth dreams Elizabeth dreams

Where is the love you once gave me? And when we meet, things are not the same now, you always hurry away And all the friends that once you used to share with me are ignored now, and you're bored now I guess we are through, but still I go on hoping Because you never put it into words Can't you see you should be honest with me And I've got to find what is in your mind Are you growing tired of my love? Have you had too much of my love? Are you growing tired of my love? Where is the love you once gave me? Are you growing tired of my love? Have you had too much of my love?

So Ends Another Life (Lancaster) In a world of education there's no time for compassion Life's a fire, never ending, bringing pain and then befriending And like a fire that burns no light And drifts to heaven, so ends another life Is there time to care, it's only fair that life goes on And on and on and on 'til in the end you can't go on So ends another life to let this world go on Don't cry for pity my friend, you never gave none There's a hunter with his gun pointing upwards to the sun Thinks a bird can feel no pain, if it can it won't again And like a fire that burns no light And drifts to heaven, so ends another life Is there time to care, it's only fair that life goes on And on and on and on 'til in the end you can't go on So ends another life to let this world go on Don't cry for pity my friend, you never gave none So ends another life to let this world go on Don't cry for pity my friend, you never gave none So ends another life to let this world go on Don't cry for pity my friend .....

Velvet Curtains (King) Velvet curtains draw the show to a close Our scene is over and the whole world knows Velvet curtains shut the light from my mind I leave the stage, put my memories behind How it started with a passing word How you answered and I liked what I heard Wasn't long before we fell in love And we thought we'd never part Velvet curtains draw the show to a close Our scene is over and the whole world knows Velvet curtains shut the light from my mind I leave the stage, put my memories behind How I started to depend on you How you tried to be dependable too But you found it hard to change your ways And you merely broke my heart Pretty soon I knew it had to end Still I fool myself and try to pretend But what's the good if there's another guy And he's playing the leading part?

So I knelt down by my bedside And I started to say a prayer It was when I asked for nothing I could feel that there was somebody there I'm looking still, but it's easy 'cos I know which way to go It doesn't matter how long it takes me 'cos there's someone there to help me who knows All the things that I am after All the loving that I want to share It's so hard but I don't mind 'cos there really is somebody there I felt in need of some loving So I sat down on a wall I tried to find a reason for living But I couldn't find a reason at all So I owned up to my maker And I started to say a prayer I waited for an answer But there wasn't anybody there
