Status Quo - Claudie Lyrics






It's so long since I sang songs for you
I forget all the words I once knew
I could look back but I can't waste the time
Did it matter they sometimes didn't rhyme?
It's so long since I sang songs for you

It's so long since you smiled just for me
Now your smile's just an old used-to-be
Does it matter that I can't take the time?
Would you rather I write you one more line?
Can my songs once again be for you?

Claudie made a fool out of me
Made me find another place to be
I've been living alone
In a house that wasn't my own
With Claudie is the place I long to be

When I left, did you think of me crying?
Did you care that I felt I was dying?
I pretended that I don't give a damn
All along I've known what I really am
I'm a fool little Claudie just for you

Claudie made a fool out of me
Made me find another place to be
I've been living alone
In a house that wasn't my own
With Claudie is the place I long to be

  1. P.... R....

    Maravilhoso e verdadeiro Rock and Roll inglês ... Jamais serão esquecidos ..

  2. A.... S....

    Country Rock at its finest. We know Francis loves Country music, however " Marguerita Time " is one of the worst, horrible songs ever recorded in history :(
    That song drove Alan Lancaster out of the band, the straw that .........

    A.... S....

    Marguerita Time is in my opinion also a great country song. Claudie is straight rock n roll.

    A.... S....

    Marguerita Time is a horrible piece of an abomination. It is revolting and not a QUO song.
    Bernie Frost and Francis should've recorded it and other crap songs on their own music project, not on QUO albums.

    Tieu you don't know the chord progressions used in Country Rock or the melodies that Claudie is laden with.
    If you ask Francis he would say, that, YES it is a Country Rock song and also in his TOP 10 fave QUO songs.
    I can debate this topic until the next ICE AGE.
    There are also 2 songs on the WHATEVER YOU WANT album with very strong Country Rock sounds.
    It's an unmistakable and unavoidable truth.
    Wildside of Life was originally a Country song which QUO turned into a DISCO ROCK SONG and they also recorded a ROCK version which is on the Bonus Tracks on the re-released BLUE FOR YOU album.
    ACCIDENT PRONE is also a DISCO song, yes, listen to the Drum beat and that's what constitutes the type/genre of music it is.
    There are others, though I couldn't be bothered typing them all.
    There's nothing QUO couldn't do, which is ironic considering what their name means in Latin.
    The critics can go and get...................
    I love this band with so much passion and intensity, they are the most honest band of all time.

  3. T.... K....

    They should have done it on the Frantic Four Tour.

  4. C.... T....

    another great tune...like getting your tele sit down dirty over and sing a bit with some bass guy over there...

  5. j.... ....

    For me it was a bit like placing a paw inside something that could, in principle, have gone a bit psychedelic just in case the market swung back that way. in the end they just kept on going!:-)

  6. P.... ....

    A total stinker on an otherwise great album. What were they thinking?

    P.... ....

    Thank you Paul.

    P.... ....

    Oh man, come on, seriously, the Psych Era was amazing, brilliant, fantastic and far out.
    At Paradise Flats, you won't come back, no, you won't come back.

    This proves to the doubters and detractors that these are songs by great musicians who are very talented and versatile.

    P.... ....

    Francis had to have a Country and western flavoured song on every album, Caroline was meant to of sounded like this but luckily someone came to their senses.

    P.... ....

    Yes Paul, I saw a fairly recent interview with Francis and Bob Young where they talked about the original sound of CAROLINE and they played some of the original which had a Country flavour, which didn't taste very good so they spat it out and re-recorded it.
    Just as well!!

    P.... ....

    No, it's not baby boy...

  7. A.... H....

    One of their best albums! Great rock and roll in the tradition of Chuck Berry and the Rolling Stones.

    A.... H....

    You have good taste Signor Hermoza ! As far as I'm concerned, I think that Chuck Berry, along with Status Quo, is underestimated.
    Elvis Presley was perhaps the King of Rock, but doubtlessly Chuck Berry was the GOD OF ROCK !
    May The Spirit of Rock stand by you.

  8. R.... G....

    Love the band/song/lineup/album and bassline. thank you for posting.
