"Burning Bridges (On and Off and On Again)" is a single released by the British rock band Status Quo in 1988. It was included on the album Ain't Complaining. ^[2] The tune is based on the traditional English folk song "Darby Kelly". ^[3]

In 1994 Manchester United F.C. used the song as the basis for their FA Cup song " Come On You Reds", which reached number one in the UK Singles Chart in May 1994.

The song was reprised, in 2014, for the band's thirty-first studio album Aquostic (Stripped Bare). It was featured in the ninety-minute launch performance of the album at London's Roundhouse on 22 October, the concert being recorded and broadcast live by BBC Radio 2 as part of their In Concert series. ^{[4] [5]}
