Don’t Bring Me Down by Electric Light Orchestra

Monday, April 30th, 2007

You got me runnin’ goin’ out of my mind,
You got me thinkin’ that I’m wastin’ my time.
Don’t bring me down,no no no no no,
I’ll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don’t bring me down.
You wanna stay out with your fancy friends.
I’m tellin’ you it’s go to be the end,
Don’t bring me down,no […]

Strange Magic by Electric Light Orchestra

Monday, April 30th, 2007

You’re sailing softly through the sun
in a broken stone age dawn.
You fly so high.
I get a strange magic,
oh, what a strange magic,
oh, it’s a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
got a strange magic.
You’re walking meadows in my mind,
making waves across my time,
oh no, oh no.
I get a strange magic,
oh, what a strange magic,
oh, it’s a strange […]

Telephone Line by Electric Light Orchestra

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Hello–how are you
Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights,
That’s what I’d say, I’d tell you everything,
If you’d pick up that telephone.
Hey–how you feelin’
Are you still the same
Don’t you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream,
I just can’t believe
They’ve all faded out of view.
I look into the sky
(The love […]

Do Ya by Electric Light Orchestra

Monday, April 30th, 2007

In this life I’ve seen everything I can see woman,
I’ve seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I’ve seen babies dancing in the midnight sun,
And I’ve seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
I’ve seen old men crying at their own grave sides
And I’ve seen pigs all sitting watching, picture slides
But I never […]

Livin’ Thing by Electric Light Orchestra

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Sailin’ away on the crest of a wave
It’s like magic
Rollin’ and ridin’ and slippin’ & slidin’
It’s magic
CHORUS
And you, and your sweet desire,
You took me, higher and higher
It’s a livin’ thing,
It’s a terrible thing to lose
It’s a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose.
Making believe this is what you’ve conceived
From your worst day,
Moving in line when […]

Illusions In G Major by Electric Light Orchestra

Monday, April 30th, 2007

On the seven seas there was aphantom ship acoming,
Shinin’ in the dead of night,
I heard the crew a hummin’
Tunes that sounded like the Rolling Stones and Leonard Cohen.
But they didn’t know the words,
So I assumed that they was foreign.
CHORUS
But I heard them just the same doctor let me teach ‘em,
I just wanna please ‘em, doctor […]

Nobody’s Child by Electric Light Orchestra

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Painted lady, stop that closin’ in on me,
Painted lady, you’re supposed to be a dream,
Painted lady, you better stay away from me.
Painted lady, why you loosinin’ my tie,
Painted lady, what’s that twinkle in your eye,
Painted lady, you better stay away from me.
Painted lady, with your jewels and your beads,
Painted lady, don’t you do these dirty […]

Mr. Kingdom by Electric Light Orchestra

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Daylight comes to those who live
But those who die they never see the sun come
Shining through their window pane they pass away.
Silly girl to be a fool, you didn’t play the golden rule,
‘Cos once you’re through with one world,
There’s another waiting there.
CHORUS
Help me such a lonely soul,
In dreams to leave behind the world.
Mr. Kingdom help […]

Poor Boy (The Greenwood) by Electric Light Orchestra

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Me I’m just a poor boy, from across the far southland,
And I’ve traveled many days to reach this place to mke my stand,
I fell in with a merry band, and drank away the hours.
CHORUS
Rollin’ on, I’ve been rollin’ on,
And my head is high, from the battle won,
Laid down my life for the Greenwood
The city boys, […]

Laredo Tornado by Electric Light Orchestra

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Summer days, where did you go,
You’ve let me down so bad,
Clouds fill the sky,
Gone is the dream
My happy hunting ground.
Wild buffalo played and I never saw a rainy day.
But it looks like summer days ain’t coming back.
March April May, June and July,
You took me for a fall.
Big chief he lie,
Cold wind blows cool, so cold […]

Boy Blue by Electric Light Orchestra

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Hey Boy Blue, can’t you hear all the noise, it’s for you.
All the town’s waiting there, let us go.
There’s a show like you ain’t seen before.
Weclome home, where you been all these years, look around.
All the crowd is in tears,
It’s so good to see you in the streets of your town
CHORUS
Hey Boy Blue is back.
Hey […]

Can’t Get It Out Of My Head by Electric Light Orchestra

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Midnight on the water.
I saw the ocean’s daughter.
Walking on a wave’s chicane,
staring as she called my name.
And I can’t get it out of my head,
no, I can’t get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
‘cos I can’t get it out of my head.
Breakdown on the shoreline,
can’t move, it’s an ebbtide.
Morning […]
