Lyrics
Ocean Breakup/King of the UniverseIt's all making me ready It's all doing what you gotta do I know "A" I see my life come shine Golden sunrise Tragic day dream I am so afraid -- King of the Universe, Are you King of the Earth King of the Universe, Are you King of the Sky King of the Universe, Are you King of the Sky Jeff Lynne Musical Chord: A/C
Bluebird is DeadLittle Darlin' of my life You keep movin' cross my mind You gave me a sunny day Now it looks as if I'll pay Why do they say -- Bluebird is dead? I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird The love that she gave, I don't believe, No, No, I don't believe Bluebird came to me tonight Waiting patiently for light She said I know that you will grieve But my darlin' I must leave Why do they say -- Bluebird is dead? I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird The love that she gave, I don't believe, No, No, I don't believe Bluebird say it is not so Please I cannot hear you speak It must be that you're so tired In the darkness of the night Why do they say -- Bluebird is dead? I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird The love that she gave, I don't believe, No, No, I don't believe Jeff Lynne Musical Chord: A
Oh No Not SusanSusan spent the weekend at her stately home Crying at the lions on the garden wall And then she'd sigh -- sneak away Look at her style -- free the day Oh no not me -- I wouldn't Oh no not me -- I couldn't That's all she says, her money and her place They just don't mean a thing Susan met the Lords and Dukes of everywhere Smiling kissing wishing that they'd go to hell And then she'd laugh -- wonder why Take a nap -- sit and cry Oh no not me -- I wouldn't Oh no not me -- I couldn't That's all she says, her money and her place They just don't mean a thing Jeff Lynne Musical Chord: G
New World Rising (Ocean-Breakup Reprise)New Dawn, smiling down the old blue world Can you feel it, like the first of Spring The bells are ringing out a little tune for you Daylight, everyone hears the sound Hey, Goodmornin', how you doin', well I'm doin' fine It's nearly nine I must be gone I see no sorrow now Nobody has a care Hey there, why don't you join me I'll be glad to know you Take some time out, would you like to work or play Or wander slowly through this bright new day Everyone laughs, can't believe what's goin' on round here New World Risin', everybody kicked their blues away Not for today but evermore I see no sorrow now Nobody has a care New Day, smiling down on the world Can you feel it, like the first of Spring The bells are ringing out a little tune for you Jeff Lynne Musical Chord: A
ShowdownShe 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 through 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 a 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 It's raining all over the world Tonight, the longest night Jeff Lynne Musical Chord: C minor
Daybreaker[instrumental] Jeff Lynne Musical Chord: A minor
Ma-Ma-Ma BelleGot 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 Jeff Lynne Musical Chord: D
Dreaming of 4000Saviour of the night came slowly on the silent river And the lord of life came following, his sins to be forgiven While the world sat back and laughed away the hours Till the dawning of the daybreak I heard them laugh I heard them cry I saw them praying to the sky I heard the wind howl in the trees Down there on bended knee And I see the light But I know I must be dreaming Feel the soul, quiet emotion Sail on by, helpless devotion If that's how it feels, it better be real Take care of your woman Or you'll never ever see the light Take heed of the warnin' Or you know it's gonna be too late Here, There, Everywhere They keep on movin' without fear They look me up, they look me down They press my body to the ground But I see the light, see the light it's comin' shinin' And on a Summers day When thoughts are drifting far away And life is good and real to see My world is saved and I am free But in the night Still I know I must be dreaming Jeff Lynne Musical Chord: G
In the Hall of the Mountain King[Instrumental] Jeff Lynne Musical Chord: A minor
