Status Quo - Mystery Song Lyrics






I see that look on your face
I see that look on your face
I see that look on your face, oh-oh-oh

The boys know what you're giving, you give the boys such a lot of fun
And by the way that you make a living you've got the boys all on the run
S.T.'s showing, you really got me going maybe you can give me a price
I wanna try it, yeah I wanna buy it, tell me would you treat me nice
Oh my legs are shaking, oh my heart is breaking
I'm just feeling like a boy
Now I just can't slow down, gotta get in, go down
Have my share of what a joy

Now I've got your name and number, I like to look upon your face
And now you know that I wanna take you, give me the time you can name
the place
Call me honey, you can take my money, baby we can make a deal
I really mean it, gotta get between it, do you know the way I feel?
Oh I'm feeling kinda like I've gotta find a way to make you understand
Oh I know you're lying and your love I'm buying
Oh I'm feeling like a man

The boys know what you're giving, you give the boys such a lot of fun
And by the way that you make a living you've got the boys all on the run
S.T.'s showing, really got them going, you can even say the price
They'll wanna try it, even wanna buy it if you really treat them nice
But I'd rather take you, show that I can make you
Good enough for just one man
Oh I'm feeling kinda like I've gotta find a
Way to make you understand

  6. A.... ....

    When Quo were great, and before Rossi killed them.

  7. R.... t....

    Great song

  8. A.... R....

    For a brief moment in time we had the frantic four so let us be etenally grateful.

  9. I.... M....

    The denim lads at their awesome best!!!!

    In 1978 and 1979 I saw them 3 times on Stage. They were so damn fucking great in these times. Never forget this awesome Nights

  11. D.... H....

    Written by Bob Young and Rick Parfitt

  12. D.... H....

    43 years old and still a kick ass song ! viva the quo

  13. G.... U....

    The intro is so fucking cool! Class song just pure fucking class

  14. E.... R....

    CLÁSSICO !
    👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

  15. N.... M....

    Amazing RIP Rick

  16. G.... S....

    Ι really love these people - they can easily set a whole arena crowd on their toes!

  17. A.... S....

    The outro to this song makes them the best Rock band of all time, very clever guitar pickin'.
    The most under rated band in history, and THAT'S A FACT.

  18. E.... ....

    What a song. What an album. What a band. The Frantic Four had no match. Best line up ever. You will never see or hear a better rock band than QUO in its prime with the Hello , Quo, Live, On the Level and Blue For You albums. Thanks guys

  19. s.... t....

    What can you say, if I ever feel down, I just fire on the Quo, I’m 60 and still rockin to my 70’s music..brilliant.

  20. T.... P....

    Whoever downthumbed this are complete cunts. This band got me playing the guitar and grooving in general.

  21. H.... v....

    Great track from the first Quo album I bought.. Time flies, I was 13 when this came out and I still have the vinyl.

    H.... v....

    yup.......me too.........i mean this album was pure gold.

  22. j.... M....

    how can you not like quo ???????

    j.... M....

    A few rock snobs out there try very hard not to like Quo. Shame really. Why can't they just admit that they secretly love SQ?

    j.... M....

    The. Best. Rick. I. Am. French. Fan. Since 1976

  23. H.... I....

    This Intro and this Outro......and in the middle.........Hardrock,at the finnest.......rollin and straight to the wall

  24. G.... P....

    like a speed-fuelled Chuck Berry

  25. S.... K....

    """ neat song .....

  26. A.... S....

    The 2 albums that followed BLUE FOR YOU were very strange and weird compared to the hard rockin' blues we came to expect from QUO!!
    Yet their critics always criticised them for being 'the same' all the time, yet were they praised for trying something different....no!!
    I call 1977 and 1978 QUO's DISCO years. LOL!!!!
    They are my fave band of all time, I love them immensely!!!!!

  27. C.... ....

    The story to how this song got inspired and was written is a quite funny one.

    C.... ....

    It's about groupies or whores

  28. P.... S....

    one of the best records of status quo

  29. A.... K....

    Almost rips your spine out .....................

  30. P.... R....

    Quo for ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  31. M.... S....

    What a into nothing better “

  32. P.... S....

    t.... w....

  47. H.... W....

    "Mystery Song" and "Ring of the Change" are two of the most pumpable rock anthems ever put down, and I am not even gonna mention "Down Down", "Whatever you want" and "Roll over Lay Down"

    H.... W....

    or backwater, the guitars seem like they're barking...lol! Love that one too!

  48. M.... W....

    R.I.P....Rick Parfitt..🎸🇨🇭🕯

  49. B.... R....

    This is how you play a riff on speed

    B.... R....

    Billy Ramone you know the story man..Rick left on his own in the studio with a bag full of whizz.And he came out with this classic..

  50. C.... t....

    OMG!!The first rock song I heard when I was ten!! I didn't' know about rock that time! I love them! This song reminds me my youth! Kisses from Greece!

    C.... t....

    ΧΡΥΣΑΝΘΗ ΣΑΡΑΚΗ Not a bad one to be introduced to Quo.

    C.... t....

    I went to Greece in the 70's as a teenager and I took all of my Status Quo records with me from Australia cause I didnt think Greece had them....How wrong I was!
    I still remember humming Quo songs whilst I walked in Nea Smyrni and Kallithea!

  51. B.... R....

    We all need a hooker as a mate, what a riff, that's speed for you, thanks Lemmy !, plus a chorus peddle!

    B.... R....

    Wow, my brother had this album when we were kids, but I never figured out how openly the lyrics are about a whore. Not sure he did either! :) (FYI English isn't my first language)

    B.... R....

    " I really mean it gotta get between it "

    B.... R....

    @Leon Erin Yeah it's really obvious when you follow the lyrics as an adult. Much like in Kiss' "Ladies Room" where Gene Simmons is explaining things to some woman as if she were a whore - very obvious and saucy... :)

  52. T.... E....

    It´s just Status Quo

    T.... E....

    The Only Status,Quo

  53. h.... ....

    Press "Go", and then it is relentless...

  54. F.... B....

    Races along like a runnaway train
    My favorite Quo song !!

    F.... B....

    Mine too,,,,fooking great.
