Status Quo - I Knew The Bride Lyrics






Well the bride looked a picture in the gown that her momma wore
When she was married herself nearly twenty-seven years before
They had to change the style a little but it looked just fine
Stayed up all night but they got it finished just in time

Now on the arm of her daddy she's walking down the aisle
And she catches my eye and she gives me a secret smile
Maybe it's too old-fashioned but we were once close friends
But the way she looks today she never could have then

Well I can see her now in her tight blue jeans
Pumping all her money in the record machine
Spinning like a top, you shoulda seen her go
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

Now a proud daddy only wanna give his little girl the best
So he put down a grand on a cosy little lovers nest
You could have called the reception an unqualified success
And a posh hotel for a hundred and fifty guests

Well I can see her now drinking with the boys
Breaking their hearts like they were toys
She used to love to party, she used to love to go
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

Well I can see her now with her headphones on
Jumping up and down to her favourite song
She used to love to party, she used to wanna go
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

Take a look at the bridegroom smiling pleased as pie
Shaking hands all round with a glassy look in his eye
He got a real good job and the shirt and tie is nice
But I remember a time when she would never even look at him twice

Well I can see her now drinking with the boys
Breaking their hearts like they were toys
She used to love to party, she used to love to go
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

Status Quo I Knew The Bride Comments
  1. A.... H....

    glory and proud KATABOIS FOREVER

  2. D.... L....

    Once again Status Quo takes a old favorite song and makes it there's!!!!

  3. B.... P....

    "Well I can see" myself with my headphones on
    "Jumping up and down" to ONE of my favourite songs
    Brill,a gem by the QUO and a good way to start a Friday morning !

  4. S.... S....

    Most underrated Rock group in History.

  5. B.... B....

    This is just a fab song whoever plays it✌️

  6. W.... ....

    Nick Lowe's version is tops, followed closely by Huey Lewis & The News. I place this one 3rd, with Edmund's rendition at the bottom of the pile.

    W.... ....

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    W.... ....

    Lowe's version is good for old people square dancing!

  7. E.... K....

    The best one is Nick Lowe

  8. s.... ....

    Heretofore unaware that they covered this! Very well done!

  9. E.... ....

    I've been a Quo fan since day 1, seen them 7 or 8 times, & met the band in the 70's. However, this version of this song is crap. Listen to the Jaguars version for top Rock'n'Roll.

  10. E.... ....

    OK. Sorry about that...I just found out that they re-released "Under The Influence" with 4 additional tracks that were never on the original that I have. One of those additional tracks is this song. The best version of this song is by "The Jaguars" in my opinion.

  11. E.... ....

    This is NOT Status Quo & all the info in the video above is rubbish. I have every record & CD they ever made and I've met the band.

    E.... ....

    it's Quo most definitely - Francis Rossi has a voice you know

  12. i.... g....

    i love quo, but its dave for me guys..

  13. D.... C....

    Great cover, but I like it best when Rockpile's doin it, Nick singing lead, Dave and Billy singing backup with Terry on drums...

  14. j.... t....

    Only the best

  15. D.... C....

    Once described as the best song Chuck Berry RIP never wrote.

  16. R.... O....

    Dave Edmunds Only

  17. R.... D....

    I love Quo but I must admit this is not as good as the Dave Edmunds recording....but it's still great....Quo4ever

    R.... D....

    You took the words out of my mouth my friend. I love Quo but this is a Dave Edmunds classic!

    R.... D....

    mike travis I just listened to this again and I think I understand why this doesn't work for me. it doesn't really sound like status quo in that it's just too smooth for lack of a better word. this recording is devoid of energy.
    Rockpile was all about energy as well as the three part harmony of Nick Lowe Dave Edmunds and Billy Bremner.
    Francis Rossi is an amazing guitar player and singer as is Dave Edmunds but for me status quo songs like don't waste my time Caroline and whatever you want are far more indicative of their sound. this interpretation of Rockpile just has no balls.
    BTW...RIP Ricky....

    R.... D....

    Well I like the Nick Lowe version better. I love Quo but not this one.

  18. j.... m....

    dave Edmunds is best.

    j.... m....

    No......Nick Love..........is the best!

    j.... m....

    Nick " Love " ?

    j.... m....

    I much prefer the "jaguars".

  19. T.... F....

    Like it with a bit of piano.

  20. H.... R....

    Never knew Quo did this song 2 

  21. T.... M....

    Not Bad.  The pace is about right - Dave Edmunds version exhausts everyone at the bash and there would be no energy for running off with the bride or nuptials.  Nick Lowe's vid elsewhere is a knockout.  Characters, clothes, action and superb humour.

  22. m.... ....

    seen both live and quo wins hands down

  23. J.... Z....

    Quo rocks inderdaad.
    Jack Beam is gewoon een samentrekking van Jack Daniel's en Jim Beam, maar dat had je vast wel begrepen :-)) Cheers.

  24. P.... M....

    Best version in my opinion

  25. J.... Z....

    However I'm a huge Quo fan, i prefer Dave Edmunds version :-))

    J.... Z....

    i do mate

  26. D.... ....

    it's gotta be even stevens with Nick Lowe

  27. m.... m....

    yep they r good

  28. m.... m....

    dave edmunds version better

  29. R.... R....

    So Nice

  30. c.... ....

    Great !!

  31. p.... c....

    que buena rola
