Status Quo - Paper Plane - HQ

[chrissmurray]

I saw Quo heaps of time in the 70's and they never disappointed. Always a top show, without the frills or massive light-shows of other bands.
You always left a Quo gig sweating, and with an aching neck!

I had the pleasure of socialising with Alan at a few gigs in the late 80's, at some of his gigs with The Lancaster Bombers

School disco, wow! Great memories, doing that Mud dance that we all did in 1972.

One of my all time Status Quo songs. Pure brilliance.

[heavyherti]

Yes! One of my all time favourite Quo songs (and there are a lot..). Especially when played live. Good singalong. There's no life without Quo!

[juanharocorbera]

deep purple mark two and status quo 70th´s are the definition of a perfect rock band

[unconditioned_ride]

No nonsense, rock the way it was meant to be, with denim waistcoats....

[yesman]

I remember the Melody Maker front page headline when this hit the charts “Quo Rock Off”. This was the catalyst for their incredible career. Magic!

[normanmcleansr.]

Riding on a big white butterfly
I turned my back away towards the sky
I closed my eyes to look for something
Saw myself as really nothing
Then I realized my butterfly
Wasn't really up there with me
We all make mistakes, forgive me
Would you like to ride my butterfly?
Riding on a long blue paper plane
Getting seasick, sorry once again
Landing strip is getting nearer
Hope the fog lifts, makes it clearer
Then I realized my paper plane
Wasn't really up there with me
We all make mistakes, forgive me
Would you like to ride my paper plane?
Riding in a three grand Deutsche car
A to B is often very far
Home is near, but such a long way
Legs and heads all feel the wrong way
Then I realized my Deutsche car
Is only there to get me somewhere
Even so I really do care
Would you like to ride my Deutsche car?
