Bad Company

I cannot look away
I know what people say
You're bad company
I've seen it when you need a man
And i could lose my life
I know I'll pay the price
You're bad company
You're the witch in the wild
And you're driving me out of my mind
You're the devil inside
I'd rather not find
See my friend you'll never mend
And see his look of pain
And you, you are to blame
You're bad company
I've seen the snake that comes away
And lives beneath the moon
And you, you call the tune
You're bad company
You're the witch in the wild
And you're driving me out of my mind
You're the devil inside
I'd rather not find
Bad company, you had to be
Bad company
You're the witch in the wild
And you're driving me out of my mind
You're the devil inside
I'd rather not find
Bad company, I soon will be
Bad company
You're the witch in the wild
And you're driving me out of my mind
Bad company, bad company
Bad company

Released during a period of heightened commercial success, the song features the group's characteristic vocal harmonies and driving rhythm section, solidifying their status as one of Britain's most enduring rock acts. The recording exemplifies the late 1970s sound that saw Status Quo achieve global recognition, with its catchy melody and anthemic chorus becoming a staple of their live performances and radio play for decades. As a key part of their discography, the track remains a quintessential example of their ability to craft accessible yet powerful rock anthems that transcended regional boundaries to become international favorites.
