WHERE DID YOU GO? I was searchin' SEARCHIN' on a one-way street, I was hopin' HOPIN' for a chance to meet. I was waitin' for the operator on the line. SHE'S GONE SO LONG What can I do?

You gotta slow down SLOW DOWN sweet talkin' woman SLOW DOWN You got me runnin' RUN RUN you got me searchin'. Hold on HOLD ON sweet talkin' lover HOLD ON It's so sad if that's the way it's over. I've been livin' LIVIN' on a dead end street, I've been askin' ASKIN' KINDLY everybody I meet. Insufficient data coming through. SHE'S GONE SO LONG What can I do? WHERE COULD SHE BE?

The gold verandah in the dark has gone, Down to the metal man, No better time to leave the ground, And maybe try to understand,
You gotta hold on to somethin' that you believe, Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright,
And through the darkest times of your life, You always tried to be the one, And now the times have made you wonder, If you ever knew what was going on,
You gotta hold on to somethin' that you believe, Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright, Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
(Solo)
No use thinkin' about what you ain't got, Just makes you bitter, And as you speak everything you say, Goes out on the Big Transmitter,
You gotta hold on to somethin' that you believe, Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright, Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
Falling through the endless sky The signals dance upon the twilight Calling out to reach someone Who waits there in the lonely night
Just for love Just for love
Soon beyond the melting clouds The light will shine on everyone That waits there in the silver rain To meet the golden sun
Just for love Just for love Just for love Just for love
I came a long way 'cross the water Came a long way to get here
Round and round in great big circles tryin' to ease my fear Out in all the mysteries and distant new tomorrows There goes another one don't know which way the wind blows
Just for love Just for love Just for love Just for love
Love ... we're gonna get it right Just for love We're gonna get it together We're gonna get it right Just for love We're gonna get it together We're gonna get it right
When all the thrills have been forgotten The chill of night can call them home And all the dreams that you left stranded Will slowly start to come along
I felt it as she slipped away, slipped away I didn't have the words to say When I saw the stranger A stranger on a quiet street Stranger on a quiet street
You can go straight as an arrow You can go straight as you dare Walkin' the old straight and narrow Don't always get you there
The sun was shining when I saw it all She was moving to a different beat When I met a stranger A stranger on a quiet street Stranger on a quiet street
It came to me out of the blue, out of the blue There came the moment that I really knew When I met a stranger A stranger on a quiet street Stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street Stranger on a quiet street Stranger on a quiet street Stranger on a quiet street Stranger on a quiet street, on a quiet street Stranger on a quiet street Stranger on a quiet street Stranger on a quiet street
Tell me I'm mistaken I must be kinda slow But the only time you ever cared Was when you needed more ... easy money, easy money You got out of control and you sold your soul for easy money
If you see a sucker standing at your door Bring him in and make him grin Then take him to the store Easy money, easy money Watch out from above You broke into the bank of love Easy money
Some people never learn to stop when they've had enough Easy money, easy money Some people only have to shop when the going gets tough
I've come to the conclusion it's like the old man said The only thing you gave me was shit and promises Easy money, whoa whoa whoa, easy money One day you'll have to earn all the money that you burn Easy money
Take it, Jeff ....
Easy money
Wha, wha, yeah
Some people never learn to stop when they've had enough Easy money, easy money Some people only have to shop when the going gets tough
Funny thing about it Don't even make me blue 'Cause there's no better deal around Than saying goodbye to you Easy money, easy money
You snatched that cash right into your stash, easy money You got out of control and you sold your soul for easy money Easy money, woo woo woo, easy money
I spent some time across the waves I learned a lot of things I never could I waved my magic wand over the past I never understood
It really doesn't matter at all It really doesn't matter at all If you found what you're lookin' for It really doesn't matter at all
We strolled around on different ground There must have been some kind of reason Nothing ventured, nothing found Must have been the wrong season
It really doesn't matter at all It really doesn't matter at all If you found what you're lookin' for It really doesn't matter at all
I flew you high, I flew you low I flew you all the way around You played for me your pretty tune Now look what I have found
It really doesn't matter at all It really doesn't matter at all If you found what you're lookin' for It really doesn't matter at all
It really doesn't matter at all, doesn't matter at all It really doesn't matter at all, doesn't matter at all If you found what you're lookin' for, doesn't matter at all It really doesn't matter at all
Seems like forever and time left to spare When I look out the window And still youre not there Youre a long time gone Such a long time gone
Tearing down memories bitter and sweet Smashing away til its all obsolete Youre a long time gone, long time gone Such a long time gone, long time gone Youre a long time gone
Do I wonder why Every day that i Think about you still And I always will
Did so much for me Now I think I see This I do believe Feels more like a dream
Looked at the weeds in the broken concrete Before the bulldozers waltzed in and killed the old street Youre a long time gone, long time gone Such a long time gone, long time gone
Door steps that shone in a bright summer sky Lay shattered and wasted since our last goodbye Youre a long time gone, long time gone Such a long time gone, long time gone Youre a long time gone
Do I wonder why Every day that i Think about you still And I always will
Youre a long time gone
Did so much for me Now I think I see This I do believe Feels more like a dream
Youre a long time gone
Do I wonder why Youre a long time gone You never did I never said goodbye Youre a long time gone
There's no way out and there's no way back Sailing forever out along your path Some troubles dare to lose you sleep I started thinkin' that I'm in too deep
The wheels of life will stretch your face Squeeze you flat without a trace But when I was in trouble I never heard you speak I got the message that I'm in too deep
Blows my mind Melting in the sun, sun Starts to shine, shine Then suddenly it's gone Melting in the sun
Stayed up and wondered what was goin' on Shifted and pissed up and silent and gone Reasons for promises that no one could keep I got the picture and I'm in too deep
Blows my mind Melting in the sun, sun Starts to shine, shine Then suddenly it's gone Melting in the sun
There's no way out, the only way is in Don't matter who you are Don't matter where you've been You can buy your freedom But it don't come cheap No doubt about it, now I'm in too deep
Blows my mind Melting in the sun, sun Starts to shine, shine Then suddenly it's gone Melting in the sun
She was a good girl Been true to herself Never swayed by the notions of somebody else She'd had it rough, maybe most of the time With only one thing on her mind
All she wanted was a lovin' man All she wanted was a lovin' man Who was tryin' to do the best that he can All she wanted was a lovin', lovin' man
There could be blue skies in her heart She was waitin' for the good times to start She never wanted diamonds She never wanted gold She was holdin' out for someone to hold
All she wanted was a lovin' man All she wanted was a lovin' man Who was tryin' to do the best that he can All she wanted was a lovin', lovin' man
A loving man All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man All she wanted was a lovin' man Who was tryin' to do the best that he can All she wanted was a lovin', lovin' man
Loving man All she wanted was a lovin' man All she wanted was a lovin' man All she wanted was a lovin' man All she wanted was a lovin' man
I listened to the whine for way too long Time for me to hear a different song I waited overtime for things to turn around Tired of waiting for it all to hit the ground
You said you knew all about it What was right and what was wrong You pulled the wool over the eyes of everyone Maybe I was weak when I should've been strong
Cry, baby, cry Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby Cry, baby, cry Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby
You took me by surprise and like a shot in the dark, shot in the dark You showed yourself in your truest light, truest light You saved yourself by saving nobody else You must have cringed when you heard them tell
Cry, baby, cry Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby Cry, baby, cry Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby
You took the wrong turn at the city of dreams, city of dreams You ended up back where you came from it seems, came from it seems Back there to where there's nothing else to do Back there where you can sit and think of only you
Cry, baby, cry Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby Cry, baby, cry Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby
Cry Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby Cry Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby
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.
*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
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
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 saying 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, darling You're always out there running 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 driving 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.
She gives me love that I could never hope to have, She tells me that she needs me,she tells me that she's glad, And if she goes away,I'm like someone who's left out in the rain, I need,I need her,I need her love.
She came in from the west,a summer breeze I couldn't rest, I had to take a fast train,to be there by her side, She made me feel so good,she made it like it should be all the time I need,I need her,I need her love.
Just when I was thinkin' of her,she came along and made me want her.I need her love,I need her love,I need her love.
If she goes away,I'm like someone who's left out in the rain, I need,I need her,I need her love.
The boast that sail,the planes that fly,she is with me. I wonder if she wonders,if this is all for real, I couldn't stand to see her cry because of me,that would be sad. I need,I need her,I need her love.
She tells me everything,she makes me smile,she tries to sing, But never shares her suffering,if things are going wrong, She makes it like a dream,if things are as they seem the world is good. I need her love,I need her love,I need her love.
Monday:Late again,today,he'd be in trouble though he'd say he was sorry,he'd have to hurry out the bus.
Tuesday:Horace was so sad,he'd never had a girl that he could care for,and if he was late once more,he'd be out.
*Don't be afraid,just knock on the door, Well he just stood there mumblin' and fumblin'. Then a voice from above said-- "Horace Wimp,this is your life, Go out and find yourself a wife. Make a stand and be a man, And you will have a great life plan."
Wednesday:Horace met a girl,she was small and she was very pretty,he thought he was in love,he was afraid.
Thursday:Asks her for a date,the cafe down the street tomorrow evening,his head was reeling, when she said "Yes O.K."
*Repeat
Friday:Horace,this is it,he asks the girl if maybe they could marry,when she says "gladly." Horace cries.
Sunday:Everybody's at the church,when Horace rushes in and says "Now here come my wife, for the rest of my life." and she did.
It was 9-29,9-29 back street big city. The sun was going' down,there was music all around It felt so right.
It was one of those nights,one of those nights when you feel the world stop turnin',you were standing There,there was music in the air.I should have been Away,but I knew I'd have to stay.
*Last train to London,just headin' out, Last train to London,just leavin' town. But I really want tonight to last forever I really wanna be with you. Let the music play on down the line tonight.
It was one of those nights,one of those nights when You feel the fire is burnin',everybody was there, Everybody to share,it felt so right.
There you were on your own,lookin' like you were The only one around,I had to be with you, Nothin' else that I could do, I should have been away,but I knew I'd have to say.
* Repeat
Underneath a starry sky,time was still but hours Must really have rushed by,I didn't realize But love was in your eyes I really should have Gone,but love went on and on...
I see the lonely road that lead so far away I see the distant lights that left behine the day But what I see is so much more than I can say and I see you in midnight blue I see you crting now you've found a lot of pain and what you searching for can never be the same but what's the difference cos' they say what's in a name and I see you in midnaight blue

I see you standing there far out along the way I want to touch but the night becomes the day I count the words that I am never gonna say and I see you in midnight blue
I will love you tonight and I will stay by your side loving you I'm feeling midnight blue

I see beautiful days and I feel Beautiful ways of loving you everything's midnight blue I will love you tonight and I will stay by your side loving you I'm feeling midnight blue I will love you tonight and I will stay by your side loving you I'm feeling midnight blue
일렉트릭 라이트 오케스트라. 줄여서 ELO.
두 개가 같은 그룹을 의미하는 말이라는 것을 몰랐던 1인.
그러니까 좀 줄여서 쓰지 말라구!!ㅋㅋㅋ
간만에 이 사람들 음악 듣고 있다. 좋다.
베스트 앨범 표지도 넘 귀엽지 않나?ㅎㅎ
자기들 음악에 딱 맞는 느낌의 표지.
지금은 거의 베스트 앨범으로만 남아 있는 ELO
그래도 가끔씩...
