Hate the production.
Poptastic.
Inoffensive pop.

Rubbish lyrics. Nobody could call the Duke of Windsor, Wallis Simpson, Samson or Delilah meek.

Mrs Waistcoat used to like this one a lot. I like it too but not really SQ to me, wasn't there but looks like it suited Francis solo tour
The lyrics make me smile, like the long hair line!
You know the story about a woman and a man In a garden living free The only danger was a stranger by a tree Selling apples by the score
Blessed are the meek, blessed are the true lovers It's anybody's guess really more or less Where it's gonna go Better make a break before we get in big trouble I'll look out for you, you look out for me The way it's gotta be
Another story about a woman and a man The only difference is the time He had a lover, she knew his long hair was his strength So he lost it all for love
Blessed are the meek, blessed are the true lovers It's anybody's guess really more or less Where it's gonna go Better make a break before we get in big trouble I'll look out for you, you look out for me The way it's gotta be
Gotta do something seriously Oh oh oh can't ignore it any longer Oh no no, oh no
Another story about a woman and a man Who can say it's right or wrong? He was the new king in the making, but he said Gonna give it up for love
Blessed are the meek, blessed are the true lovers It's anybody's guess really more or less Where it's gonna go Better make a break before we get in big trouble I'll look out for you, you look out for me The way it's gotta be Blessed are the meek, blessed are the true lovers It's anybody's guess really more or less Where it's gonna go

Nope. Twee nonsense.
Lyrically, it makes me grimace a bit. Francis and probably Bernie are/were better than this. It's trying to be clever but it fails on every level.
The melody is a bit non-descript as well, so even that can't save it. Easily the poorest track on what is otherwise a rather good album.
Actually, when I think about it, this one of my pet hate Quo tracks from across the decades. And there aren't that many to be fair.
Francis obviously rates it though, having performed it on his solo tour.
1/10

Think there are some great numbers on Under the Influence, but this certainly isn't one of them. It is one of the few Quo tracks that I can't listen to even as background noise, it just grates with me so much.
