Status Quo - Technicolor Dreams Lyrics






I see your face at the dawn of the day, gold as the sun begins to shine
I see your face now at the end of the day, purple shadows dancing in your eyes.

Technicolour dreams are all I see
Technicolour dreams of you and me

I see your shadow tripping through a silver glade, tiptoeing over crimson sand
Luring me onwards into a sea of jade, leading me gently by the hand

Technicolour dreams are all I see
Technicolour dreams of you and me

If I could escape through the windows of my mind
I would fly to your magic mountain land
There we would stay 'til the world had passed away
With a love only we could understand

Technicolour dreams are all I see
Technicolour dreams of you and me

I see your face at the dawn of the day, gold as the sun begins to shine
I see your face now at the end of the day, purple shadows dancing in your eyes.

Status Quo Technicolor Dreams Comments
  1. B.... R....

    Loved Status Quo from day 1

  2. s.... ....

    This is the Quo I love the one and only truly original Status Quo,  without this line up you would not have the band we all love so much....

  3. C.... ....

    It's like their original sound was actually more like Margarita Time than boogie.

  4. H.... D....

    What a sweet treat this video was. , thank you.

  5. B.... W....

    these guys were real weird.

  6. A.... S....

    What a beautiful story of The Mighty STATUS QUO. This is why they are the best and greatest music entity in history. Do I love them and the joy they've brought to me and the world?

  7. L.... ....

    heard this song on ShellShock Nam '67 15 years ago,glad i found it.

  8. m.... ....

    is that ma kellys greasy spoon with rossi's ice cream tub ?

  9. M.... J....

    That brings me back to my past ...

  10. M.... J....

    So Great ...

  11. C.... S....

    Having flash backs

  12. A.... ....

    Boy, this band was underrated...thanks for the post, excellent band

  13. c.... r....

    Rossi Ice Cream?

  14. P.... ....

    Did Rossi ever use acid ?......don't believe it for one second...... Although from historical viewpoint highly interesting this....but this was "psychedelia" by numbers......"Matchstick Men" was cool , but after that it became rehashing the same flanged guitar licks....If they had never heard The Doors' "Roadhouse Blues"......it would've been the end of the band.......

  15. A.... ....

    Quo did great melodies back then.

  16. T.... S....

    Grooovy

  17. 2.... ....

    Loved this song.

  18. c.... ....

    tom cruise on rythim guitar

  19. m.... ....

    LOVE THE MICKY TAKING SIGN STATING ALSO SERVE DELICIOUS ICE CREAM....

  20. L.... M....

    I notice that the notes they used were very in fashion in those years 1967-68. For example in the Pictures of Matchstik men of themselves but also in Hey Joe from Jimi Hendrix, in Hush from Deep Purple or in A day in the life. People who can play some musical instrument know what I'm talking about...

  21. p.... p....

    I was conceived when this song was in the charts

  22. a.... ....

    The song says Technicolor Dreams, ironically the video is in black n white. Great song by the way !

  23. D.... C....

    Part of me wishes the had stuck to the psycadelia the other part is so glad they moved over to thumping heavy rock now I can look back and enjoy the genesis of on of the worlds premiere rock n roll bands of all time

  24. 2.... ....

    Roy was never comfortable on camera.

    2.... ....

    He looks high as a kite.

    2.... ....

    Why not?

  25. 2.... ....

    Great song.

  26. J.... C....

    Rick Parfitt will be greatly missed, I grew up watching them performing together and always wondered what Parfitt and Rossi were laughing about when they used to chat while playing, ah the innocence of youth!! Although I was born into the 'Whatever you Want' and 'Rockin all over the World' era, their PYE years from which this came from is fantastic, Sunny Cellophane Skies is another classic!

  27. H.... T....

    so fingen sie an,meine favoriten,ihre spitzenklasse war da schon zu erkennen

  28. T.... ....

    Where did the pianoplayer go ?

    T.... ....

    Roy Lynes left the band in 1970 (was with them for 5 years).

    T.... ....

    Why did he quit ? Or was he fired ?

    T.... ....

    He quit. Got off the train at Crewe in Cheshire on the way to a gig up North. He wanted to pursue a University degree and missed his girlfriend. By that time, quo were moving away from songs with a keyboard sound, so I don't think he would have been around much longer anyway. Quo re-introduced a full-time keyboards player (Andy Bown) in 1976, he is still with them to this day.

  29. m.... ....

    ¡Dios mío! ¡Son ellos themselves!! (Oh cruel world....)"Sic Gloria Transit"......

  30. E.... R....

    I have never seen a video where Rick and Francis are so young. Just 20 years old?
    Francis lovely glance and his smile is still the same one till today.
    Rick, how sad to lost you so early.

  31. j.... a....

    God blessed him with divine dom to play guitar. Rest in peace Rick Parfitt ✌🎸

  32. K.... P....

    Shit, Rick and Francis were only 18 or 19 when they did this... that's talent!

  39. m.... p....

    Ice in the sun was the first single I brought of The Quo,s,great days since then.RIP,Rick.

  40. M.... C....

    Did you know thats the famous Green Telecaster Francis is playing in its new condition.

  41. k.... ....

    ❤👍🌈

  42. T.... S....

    kind of a shame they didn't do more psychedelic music, although I really loved the direction they took. rip Rick!

    T.... S....

    maybe that has to do with LSD drugs becoming illegal since early 1970s...I noticed that after the 1960s psychedelic rock almost died, since many rock bands gave up this music style ...

    T.... S....

    You're joking I hope

    T.... S....

    Tim Smith
    The psychedelic thing were a management decision. They weren’t too keen on it themselves.

  43. C.... E....

    R.I.P
