Electric Light Orchestra Part II - Part 2/ One Night [compilation] (1997) by Electric Light Orchestra Part II (보컬) on maniadb.com

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

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...

Sailing away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Rolling and riding and slipping & sliding
It's magic

And you, and your sweet desire,
You took me, ohhh higher and higher baby,
It's a living thing,
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose

I'm taking a dive (echo)

Making believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day, I'm takin a dive
Moving in line when you look back in time
To the first day, I'm taken I'm taken

And you and your sweet desire,
Don't you do it, don't you do it,
Taking me ohh, higher and higher baby
It's a living thing,
It's a terrible thing to lose,
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose

I'm takin a dive

Taking a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream, I'm takin a dive
So let her go don't start spoiling the show
It's a bad dream, I'm taking , I'm taking

And you and your sweet desire
Don't you do it, don't you do it
Taking me higher and higher baby

It's a livin' thing,
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose

Sun is shining in the sky
There ain′t a cloud in sight
It′s stopped raining
Everybody′s in a play
And don′t you know

It′s a beautiful new day
Running down the avenue
See how the sun shines
Brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today

You had to hide away For so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong

You′re sailing softly through the sun
in a broken stone age dawn
You fly so high

I get a strange magic

Got a strange magic

You′re walking meadows in my mind
making waves across my time

Oh, I′m never gonna be the same again

Everywhere the sun is shining.
All around the world it's shining.
But cold winds blow across your mind.
Confusion--it's such a terrible shame.
Confusion--you don't know what you're sayin'.
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on.
You feel there's no-one there for you to lean on.

Every night you're out there darlin'.
You're always out there runnin'.
And I see that lost look in your eyes.
Confusion,I don't know what I should do.
Confusion,I leave it all up to you.
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on.
You feel there's no-one there for you to lean on.

Dark is the road you wander.
And as you stand there under.
The starry sky,you feel sad inside.
Confusion,you know it's drivin' me wild.
Confusion,it comes as no big surprise.
You've lost your love and you just can't carry on.
You feel there's no-one there for you to lean on.

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 seen nothing like you

Do ya do ya want my love
Do ya do ya want my face
Do ya do ya want my mind
Do ya do ya want my love

Well I, heard the crowd singin′ out of tune
As they, sat and sang Auld Lang Syne by the light of the moon
I heard the preachers bangin′ on the drums
And I heard the police playin′ with their guns
But I never heard nothin′ like you

In the country where the sky touches down
On the field, she lay her down to rest
In the morning sun
They come a′runnin′ just to get a look, just to
Feel to touch her long black hair they don′t give a damn

Well I think you know what I′m trying to say woman
That is I′d like to save you for a rainy day
I′ve seen enough of the world to know
That I′ve got to get it all to get it all to grow

Just got back from the downtown palais
Where the music was so sweet
It knocked me right back in the alley
I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready,
Wo, wo, wo, I'm ready
And I'm really gonna rock tonight.

Sweet little lady sings like a songbird
And she sings the opera like you ain't never heard,
But she ain't ready,
No, no, no, she ain't ready
No, no, no, she ain't ready,
And she ain't gonna rock & roll

CHORUS
She's sweet on Wagner,
I think she'd die for Beethoven,
She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune,
And Verdi's always creeping from her room

Come on I'll show you how to sing the blues
Now baby, come on over you got nothin' to lose,
Are you ready, hey, hey, hey are you ready
Ooh, ooh, ooh, are you ready
I wanna show you how to rock and roll.

Now listen here baby she, said to me
Just, meet me at the opera house at a quarter to three,
'Cos I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready,
Woo, hoo, hoo, I'm ready,
I'm gonna show you how to sing the blues.

CHORUS -- repeat

Far, far away the music is playing.

Well we were reelin' and a rockin' all through the night,
Yea we were rockin' at the opera house until the break of light,
And the orchestra were playin' all Chuck Berry's greatest tunes.
And the singers in the chorus all got off on singing blues,
And as the night grew older everybody was as one,
The people on the streets came runnin' in to join in song
Just to hear the opera singer singin' rock & roll so pure,
I thought I saw the mayor there but I wasn't really sure,
But it's alright.

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

Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream
When you see your ship go sailing
When you feel your heart is breaking
Hold tight to your dream

It′s a long time to be gone
Time just rolls on and on
When you need a shoulder to cry on
When you get so sick of trying
Just hold tight to your dream

When you get so down that you can′t get up
And you want so much but you′re all out of luck
When you′re so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over & over & over you could

Accroches-toi a ton reve
Accroches-toi a ton reve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir
Quand tu sents ton coeur se briser
Accroches-toi a ton reve

Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream
When you see the shadows falling
When you hear that cold wind calling
Hold on tight to your dream

Oh, yeah
Hold on tight to your dream
Yeah, hold on tight
To your dream

The city streets are empty now THE LIGHTS DON′T SHINE NO MORE
and so the songs are way down low TURNING TURNING TURNING
A sound that flows into my mind THE ECHOES OF THE DAYLIGHT
of everything that is alive IN MY BLUE WORLD

I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone
Turn to stone when you comin′ home, I can′t go on

The dying embers of the night A FIRE THAT SLOWLY FADES TILL DAWN
still glow upon the wall so bright BURNING BURNING BURNING
The tired streets that hide away FROM HERE TO EVERYWHERE THEY GO
roll past my door into the day IN MY BLUE WORLD

I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone
Turn to stone when you comin′ home, I can′t go on
Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone

Yes, I′m turnin′ to stone ′cos you ain′t comin′ home
Why you ain′t comin′ home if I′m turnin′ to stone
You′ve been gone for so long and I can′t carry on
yes, I′m turnin′, I′m turnin′, I′m turnin′ to stone

The dancing shadows on the wall THE TWO-STEP IN THE HALL
are all I see since you′ve been gone TURNING TURNING TURNING
Through all I sit here and I wait I TURN TO STONE I TURN TO STONE
You will return again some day TO MY BLUE WORLD

I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone
Turn to stone when you comin′ home, I can′t go on
Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone

I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone
Turn to stone when you comin′ home, I can′t go on
Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone

You got me runnin' goin'
out of my mind
You got me thinkin' that i'm
wastin' my time
