About

The matchstick men Status Quo are referring to are the paintings of L. S. Lowry. In this song, the lover is jealous of his ex-girlfriend’s sexual liberation, seeing her in the arms of an army of potential suitors.

It also includes vaguely macabre imagery of a “haunting” face and “yellow eyes”.

Pictures of Matchstick Men Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I look up to the sky
I see your eyes a funny kind of yellow
I rush home to bed, I soak my head
I see your face underneath my pillow
I wake next morning, tired, still yawning
See your face come peeping through my window

[Chorus]
Pictures of matchstick men and you
Mirages of matchstick men and you
All I ever see is them and you

[Verse 2]
Windows echo your reflection
When I look in their direction gone
When will this haunting stop?
Your face it just won't leave me alone

[Chorus]
Pictures of matchstick men and you
Mirages of matchstick men and you
All I ever see is them and you

[Bridge]
You in the sky, you with this guy
You make men cry, you lie
You in the sky, you with this guy
You make men cry, you lie

[Outro]
