Matchbox [Live at the BBC Disk 2] Lyrics

I'm sittin' here watchin'
Matchbox hole in my clothes
Oh, sittin' watchin'
Matchbox hole in my clothes
I ain't got no matches but I sure
Got a long way to go

Well, I'm an ole poor boy, and I
Ain't got a home
I'm an ole poor boy, and I'm a
Long way from home
And everything I do
Turns out mighty wrong

Alright, John!

Well, if you don't want my peaches, honey
Please don't shake my tree
If you don't want Ringo's peaches, honey
Please don't mess around my tree
I got news for you baby
Leave me here in misery

Well, I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
Matchbox hole in my clothes
Oh, I'm sittin' watchin'
Matchbox hole in my clothes
I ain't got no matches but I sure
Got a long way to go

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
