Earworm: "You’re in the sky and with the sky, You make men cry, you lie"
When I look up to the skies
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

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

Windows echo your reflection

You’re in the sky and with the sky
You make men cry, you lie
You’re in the sky and with the sky
You make men cry, you lie

Pictures of matchstick men and
Pictures of matchstick men and you
Pictures of matchstick men ....

1. Great tune
Hard to believe that Status Quo later became the prototype for Spinal Tap. There was a band out of DC in the mid 1980s (The Slickee Boys) that did a fab cover of this tune.

2. I thought this was a Camper Van Beethoven song. No?
