Electric Light Orchestra - The Essential Electric Light Orchestra [compilation] (2003) by Electric Light Orchestra (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

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

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

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

Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away For so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away For so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong

Hey you, with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration
Mr. Blue Sky′s up there waiting
And today is the day we′ve waited for

Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away For so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong

Hey there, Mr. Blue
We′re so pleased to be with you
Look around, see what you do
Everybody smiles at you

Hey there, Mr. Blue
We′re so pleased to be with you
Look around, see what you do
Everybody smiles at you

Mr. Blue you did it right
But soon comes Mr. Night
Creeping over, now his
Hand is on your shoulder
Never mind, I′ll remember you this
I′ll remember you this way

Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away For so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong

Hey there, Mr. Blue (sky)
We′re so pleased to be with you (sky)
Look around, see what you do (look)
Everybody smiles at you

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

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

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

I was searchin′ on a one-way street
I was hopin′ for a chance to meet
I was waitin′ for the operator on the line

(She′s gone so long)
What can I do
(Where could she be)
Oh no, no don′t know what I′m gonna do
I gotta get back to you

You gotta slow down
Sweet talkin′ woman
You got me runnin′
You got me searchin′
Hold on sweet talkin′ woman
It′s so sad if that′s the way it′s over

I was walkin′ many days gone by
I was thinkin′ ′bout the lonely nights
Communication break down all around me

(She′s gone so long)
What can I do
(Where could she be)
Oh no, no don′t know what I′m gonna do
I gotta get back to you

I′ve been livin′ on a dead-end street
I′ve been askin′ ev′rybody I meet
Insufficient data comin′ through

(She′s gone so long)
What can I do
(Where could she be)
Oh no, no don′t know what I′m gonna do
I gotta get back to you

Hello. How are you
Have you been alright
through all those lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely nights
That′s what I′d say. I′d tell you everything
If you′d pick up that telephone yeah yeah yeah

Hey. How you feelin
Are you still the same
Don′t you realize the things we did, we did
were all for real, not a dream
I just can′t believe
They′ve all faded out of view yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Doowop dooby doo doowop doowah doolang
Blue days black nights doowah doolang

When I look into the sky, the love you need ain′t gonna see you through
And I wonder why the little things you planned ain′t coming true

Oh oh Telephone Line, give me some time
I′m living in twilight
Oh oh Telephone Line, give me some time
I′m living in twilight

Ok. So noone′s answering
Well can′t you just let it ring a little longer longer longer oh oh ooohhhhh
I′ll just sit tight through shadows of the night
Let it ring for evermore oh oh ooohhhhh yeah yeah yeah

Doowop dooby doo doowop doowah doolang
Blue days black nights doowah doolang

When I look into the sky, the love you need ain′t gonna see you through
And I wonder why the little things you planned ain′t coming true

Oh oh Telephone Line, give me some time
I′m living in twilight
Oh oh Telephone Line, give me some time
I′m living in twilight
Oh oh Telephone Line, give me some time
I′m living in twilight
Oh oh Telephone Line, give me some time
I′m living in twilight

Although the things you've done
I wouldn't criticize.
I guess you had your way.
You see I gotta make you understand.
I know it sounds a foolish thing to say.
But it don't matter baby 'cos'
today's another day.

CHORUS

You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life and let me see.

Remember,tonight we're gonna run till dawn
Remember,tonight we're gonna say.
We'll never stop we got a good thing goin' on.
I know you've heard it all before.
But I really need you darlin'
every day I need you more.

Repeat Chorus

Can you understand.(Yes I understand)
Can you feel it's right.
(I know it is) Will you be the same.
(I'll do it all again).

It's been a year now and it's getting so much better.
You came home without a word.
Though everybody said you'll soon forget her.
Thay couldn't see and they just didn't understand.
And lookin' in the mirror
there were fools at either hand.

Can you understand.(Yes I understand)
Can you feel it's right.
(I know it is) Will you be the same.
(I'll do it all again).

How many days had I been waiting there to tell you.
I really can't believe.
We're walkin' out into the world tonight.
We'll do it all again until the break of light.
And the feelin' in your heart will
soon be shinin' in your eyes

Repeat Chorus

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

Somebody
Told her that there was a place like heaven
Across the water on a 747
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world.

And pretty soon she′s really got the notion
Of flying out across the big blue ocean
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world.

Talk is cheap on satellite
But all I get is (static!)
Information, I′m still here
Re-dial on automatic

Calling America (can′t get a message through)
Calling America (that′s what she said to do)
Calling America (that′s where she has to be)
Calling America (she left a number for me)
Calling America

But I′m just talking to a satellite
Twenty thousand miles up in the sky each night
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world

All I had to do was pick up the phone
I′m out in space, trying to talk to someone
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world

She left a number I could call
But no one′s there, no one at all
There must be something going wrong
That number just rings on and on

Said she′d call when she′d been gone a while
Guess she′s missing me across the miles
Yeah, we′re living in
In a modern world

Calling America, Calling America
Calling America, Calling America

Listen everybody let me tell you ′bout the rock ′n′ roll
Feel that rhythm and it′s really gonna thrill your soul
She said come along with me, to a land of make believe
She said rock ′n′ roll is king

She loves that rock ′n′ roll and she plays it all night long
That′s all she ever tells me when I call her on the telephone
She says feel that jumpin′ beat, and git up on your feet
She says rock ′n′ roll is king

Chorus: Oh let those guitars play
Play for me play for me
Oh let that song ring out
That′s how it′s meant to be

It rolls like a train that′s comin′ on down the track
She rolled over Beethoven and she gave Tchaikovsky back
She loves that drivin′ beat, she goes dancin′ on down the street
She said rock ′n′ roll is king

When she comes around and I′m listenin′ to the radio
She says you can′t do that ′cause all I wanna do is rock ′n′ roll
Now here I′m gonna stay where that music starts to play
She says rock ′n′ roll is king

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