Electric Light Orchestra - Ole Elo [compilation] (1976) by Electric Light Orchestra (보컬) on maniadb.com

Did you see your friend crying from his eyes today?
Did you see him run through the streets and far away?
Aah
Did you see him run, did you see him fall?
Did his life flash by at the bedroom door?

Did you hear the news it came across the air today?
Someone has been found on the rocks down in the bay
Ahhh
Did you see him hide, did you see him crawl?
Does his life mean more than it did before?

Did you see that man running through the streets today?
Did you catch his face, was it 10538?
Ahhhh

My my Kuiama, she came in the morning
She smiled but the tears on her little face
Showed the pain that had been in that far-off place
So sad, treated so bad.

My my Kuiama, don't break your heart tryin'
To say how your ma and your pa passed away
And they left you to wander the ruin and decay
Real mean, that bullet machine.

See here Kuiama, now ten thousand miles
Is a long, long way and you're here today
And you won't go back so you might say
Hello, how do you do?

Kuia, stop your cryin', there's no bombs a-fallin'
No horsemen in the night a-ridin' through your dreams
And tearing at your life
Baby goodnight.

No more silver rain will hit your ground
And no more guns will sound
And no more life be drowned
No more trenches where the soldiers lie
And no more people die
Beneath that big black sky.

Wake up Kuiama, I got somethin' to tell you
It's just that I mean, well, that is to say,
That I'm trying to explain but I'll start again,
For you, I must be true.

Kuia, in this country, they got rules with no reason
They teach you to kill and they send you away
With your gun in your hand, you pick up your pay
So cool, that no mercy tool.

Kuia, please believe me? I just couldn't help myself.
I wanted to run but they gave me a gun
And they told me the duty I owed to my Fatherland.
I made my stand.

Kuia, I just shot them, I just blew their heads open,
And I heard them scream in their agony
Kuiama, she waits there for me
True blue, you saw it through.

Gonna write a little letter gonna mail it to me local D.J
it′s a jumpin little record I want my jockey to play
Roll Over Beethoven, gotta hear it again today

My temperature′s risin, the juke box′s blowin a fuse
My heart′s beatin a rhythm, singin out rhythm and blues
Roll Over Beethoven, they′re rockin in two by two

Well if you feel you like it, go get your lover and reel and rock it
roll it over and move on up now, go for cover and reel and rock it
roll it over, Roll Over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news

Early in the mornin I′m a givin you the warnin
don′t you step on my blue suede shoes
hey diddle diddle gonna play my fiddle
I ain′t got nothing to lose
Roll Over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news

She wiggles like a glow-worm, dances like a spinning top
she got a crazy partner, you should have seen her reel and rock
long as she got a dime, the music will never stop

Well if you feel you like it, go get your lover and reel and rock it
roll it over and move on up now, go for cover and reel and rock it
roll it over, Roll Over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues

Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven
Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven
Roll Over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues

She cried to the southern wind
About a love that was sure to end
Every dream in her heart was gone
Headin' for a showdown.

Bad dreamer, what's your name?
Looks like we're ridin' on the same train
Looks as though there'll be more pain
There's gonna be a showdown.

And it's rainin' all over the world
It's raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night.

She came to me like my friend
She blew in on a southern wind
Now my heart is turned to stone again
There's gonna be a showdown.

Save me, oh, save me
It's unreal the suffering
There's gonna be a showdown.

And it's rainin' all over the world
Raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night.

Raining all over the world
Raining all over the world
The longest night.

And it's rainin' all over the world
Raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night.

You gotta save me, girl
When I'm ready for save
Oh, I'm fool for you
You know that real that
Go on and save me.

Can you feel what you're doin'
To me now?
I'm on the run again
You gotta save your soul...

Got love, if that's what you need
I got three or four babies sittin' on my knee
I got love waitin' for you
I come sneakin' round the corner of the avenue

You gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, or I will get you
You know you gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, before I get you

There's one thing that's on my mind
And that's getting hold of you before I serve my time
I'll keep on, with my heavy load
Till I see you come a strollin' down that open road

You gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, or I will get you
You know you gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, before I get you

I love you Ma-Ma-Ma Belle
That's why I want to get it all well I'm sure you can tell
I got, good soul, runnin' so deep
Gonna get you in the corner so that I can keep
Can't you hear me once Ma-Ma-Ma Belle

You gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, or I will get you
You know you gotta Ma-Ma-Ma Belle, before I get you

Midnight on the water
I saw the ocean's daughter
Walkin' on a waves 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 shore line
Can't move, it's and ebb tide
Morning don't go here tonight
Searching for her silver light
(repeat chorus)

Bank job in the city
Robin Hood and William Tell and
Ivanhoe and Lancelot they don't envy me
Sitting till the sun goes down
In dreams the world keeps going round and round
(repeat chorus

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.
Welcome 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.

Hey, boy blue is back.
Hey, boy blue is back.
Hey, boy blue is back.

Hey, boy blue is back.
Hey, boy blue is back.
Hey, boy blue is back.

I've see bold knights dropping down like flies,
I've see kings rolling in the mire,
I've seen God point the finger of doom to our foes.
I have fought in the holiest wars,
I have spent some of the holiest chores.
I've been jailed, been impaled, and been dragged through the world.

One thing I have learned through these years
Is that no man should be stricken with fear.
It should be that he walks with no care in the world.
So my friends, who are gathered today,
Hear this clear, for I'll not further say
That no man shall cause me to take up arms again.

Hey, boy blue is back.
Hey, boy blue is back.
Hey, boy blue is back.

Hey, boy blue is back.
Hey, boy blue is back.
Hey, boy blue is back.

You made a fool of me, but them broken dreams have got to end.

Hey woman, you got the blues, cos′ you ain′t got no one else to use.
There′s an open road that leads nowhere, so just make some miles
between here and there
There′s a hole in my head where the rain comes in
You took my body and played to win
Ha Ha woman it′s a crying shame
But you ain′t got no one else to blame

Rolled in from another town,
Hit some gold too hot to settle down,
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways,
And you found a fool lyin′ in a daze,
Ha Ha woman what you gonna do,
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you,
It′s so good that you′re feeling pain,
But you better get yourself on board the very next train.

Evil woman how you done me wrong,
But now you′re tryin′ to wail a different song,
Ha Ha funny how you broke me up,
you made the wine now you drink the cup
I came runnin′ every time you cried,
Thought I saw love smilin′ in your eyes,
Ha Ha very nice to know, that you ain′t got no place left to go

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 magic
Got a strange magic
got a strange magic

Oh, I′m never gonna be the same again
now I′ve seen the way it′s got to end
sweet dream, sweet dream

Strange magic
oh, what a strange magic
oh, it′s a strange magic
Got a strange magic
got a strange magic

It′s magic, it′s magic, it′s magic

Strange magic
oh, what a strange magic
oh, it′s a strange magic
Got a strange magic

Strange magic STRANGE MAGIC
oh, what a strange magic STRANGE MAGIC
oh, it′s a strange magic
Got a strange magic

Strange magic STRANGE MAGIC
oh, what a strange magic STRANGE MAGIC
oh, it′s a strange magic
Got a strange magic
got a strange magic
you know I got a strange magic
yeah, I got a strange magic
oo-o-o-oo, strange magic
