Lyrics
Standin' In The Rain
I'm standing in the rain
I'm waiting all alone
I'm so tired
I wanna go home.
I'm standing in the rain
Getting soaking wet
I'm doing my best
But what do I get?
I'm standing in the rain
Can't seem to get along
People rushing by
Wish they could hear my song.
I'm standing in the rain
It's teeming down on me
Cats & dogs
I wanna be free.
I'm standing in the rain
Doing my thing
I'm trying my best
What does it bring?
I'm standing in the rain
Getting soaking wet
I'm doing my best
But what does it get?
The good intentions and the pain
Lay drowned now in the pouring rain
I tried to be so good this time
But here I am under the sky.
The good intentions and the pain
Lay drowned now in the pouring rain.
Jeff Lynne, 4:42
Evil WomanYou 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. CHORUS E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, Evil Woman 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. CHORUS:REPEAT 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. CHORUS:REPEAT Jeff Lynne, 4:01
Don't WannaDon't want to talk, don't want to walk Don't want to do anything Don't want to kick, don't want to scream Don't want to sleep, don't want to dream Just want to sit, just want to stare Do what you want I don't care Wait for the phone, wait for the ring Don't want to do anything CHORUS Don't want to work, don't want to play Just sit around everyday Don't want to dance, don't want to sing Don't want to do anything Don't want to laugh, don't want to cry Just want to sit and wonder why It's just too much without your touch Don't want to do anything CHORUS (Eric Troyer), 4:05
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, 4:55
Can't Get It Out Of My Head
Midnight on the water.
I saw the ocean's daughter.
Walking on a wave's 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 shoreline,
can't move, it's an ebbtide.
Morning don't get here till night,
searching for her silver light.
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, no no.
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 keep going round and round.
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, no no.
No, 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, no no no no.
Jeff Lynne, 6:37
Whiskey GirlsLong hair, flashing eyes The kind of hips that make you fantasize A slow smile, just meant to tease One look and you'll be weak at the knees They got my head in a whirl 'Cos I can't get enough of those whiskey girls They got the world at their fingertips With just a look and lick of the lips They understand the rhythm of the night I'm in a daze, I don't know wrong from right They got my head in a whirl 'Cos I can't get enough of those whiskey girls CHORUS Hypnotised - by the whiskey girls Compromised - out of this world Lord above, could this be love Ain't no doubt about it I'm crazy about the whiskey girls Whiskey girls are out on the town They'll break your heart, they'll bring you down Whiskey girls are out of control For just one touch you'd sell your soul The moon is high I'm getting out of the line Whishful thinking with a one track mind I'm having flashes, oh can't you see they're walking through my private fantasy Wearing only a necklace of pearls Those slow walking, long-legged whiskey girls CHORUS TWICE (Bev Bevan, Phil Bates), 3:47
Livin' ThingSailin' away on the crest of a wave It's like magic Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin' It's magic CHORUS And you, and your sweet desire, You took me, higher and higher It's a livin' thing, It's a terrible thing to lose It's a given thing What a terrible thing to lose. Making believe this is what you've conceived From your worst day, Moving in line when you look back in time To your first day CHORUS -- repeat Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide Floating downstream, So let her go don't start spoiling the show It's a bad dream CHORUS -- repeat Jeff Lynne, 3:54
One More TomorrowI'm lying here, I know the night must fall The edge of darkness is so near So hold back the night, hold back the night It's the darkness that I fear And in my heart there's not a shadow of a doubt The final truth waits there fore me Nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide From the memories CHORUS Give me one more tomorrow All these todays alone Mean nothing anymore Give me one more tomorrow Another chance to find What I've been searching for Inner voices in the quiet of the night Angry silence calls to me There's no time for tears, no time for tears Find a way to break free CHORUS I'm praying for a little piece of heaven tonight I'm searching for some help from a friend And all I need is a miracle To help me through this night that never ends, it never ends CHORUS TWICE Bev Bevan, Mik Kaminski, Phil Bates, 5:10
Mr. Blue SkySun is shinin' in the sky, There ain't a cloud in sight It's stopped rainin' Everybody's in a play And don't you know It's a beautiful new day. Runnin' 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. CHORUS Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why, You had to hide away For 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 you with the pretty face, Welcome to the human race A celebration Mr. Blue Sky's Up there waitin' and today Is the day we've waited for CHORUS:REPEAT Mr. Blue you did it right, But soon comes Mr. Night, Creepin' over, now his Hand is on your shoulder, Never mind I'll remember you this way. CHORUS:REPEAT Jeff Lynne, 5:00
Telephone Line
Hello--how are you
Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights,
That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything,
If you'd pick up that telephone.
Hey--how you feelin'
Are you still the same
Don't you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream,
I just can't believe
They've all faded out of view.
I look into the sky
(The love you need ain't gonna see you through.)
And I wonder why
(The little things are finally coming true.)
CHORUS
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
O.K. so no--one's answering,
Well can't you just let it ring a little longer
I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night
Let it ring for evermore.
CHORUS -- repeat
Jeff Lynne, 4:50
Ain't Necessarily So(slow) It ain't necessarily so No, it ain't necessarily so These things that you're liable, to read in the bible. No it ain't necessarily so (jammin') You bet that you can't be wrong. No place where you don't belong. There's nothin' you don't know. But it ain't necessarily so To you there's never no doubt. It's either in or it's out. You sure put up quite a show. But it ain't necessarily so I said hold, let your bad self go. Hold on, Caus' you already know. It's never maybe or might. To you it's black or it's white. If I say yes you say no. But it Ann's necessarily so Hold on, Let your bad self go. Hold on, cause' you already know. You think that you can't be wrong. No place where you don't belong. There's nothing' you don't know. But it ain't necessarily so ain't necessarily so ain't necessarily so No no no no No it ain't necessarily so No no no no No no no no No no no no No it ain't necessarily so. No no no no No it ain't necessarily so. Phil Bates/Bev Bevan, 4:02
The FoxI wait till everyone's asleep Then out into the night I creep No one can see me now Or hear me running, soundlessly The moon's the only light I need To search for food, young ones to feed But as the dawn is drawing near the earth, my way's not clear I'm trapped on the outside Moonlight save me, moonlight save me Moonlight save me, moonlight save me Unearthly fear, it grips my skin Unearthly sound, the hunt begins I hear excited cries But dare not look from where I'm hiding The multi-coloured humans ride Soon they will find me where I hide The brown and white tormentors Begin to howl and then I'm running Moonlight save me I cut across the trail I left five miles before One chance to throw them off my scent but I'm not sure An elder told me it had worked sometime before My heart is beating like a drum I make the ridge, but can't go on I turn to face my death But nothing comes to stop me breathing Down in the clearing now I see They're searching all around for me Confusion everywhere But I am safe up here, I've won, I've won, I've won, I've won, I've won (Kelly Groucutt), 4:55
Strange Magic
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. (fade)
Jeff Lynne, 2:13
Sweet Talkin' Woman
WHERE DID YOU GO?

Jeff Lynne, 2:03
ConfusionEverywhere 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. 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. Jeff Lynne, 1:52
Do YaIn 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. CHORUS 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 CHORUS -- repeat 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. CHORUS -- repeat Jeff Lynne, 2:27
RockariaJust 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. Jeff Lynne, 3:15
Roll Over Beethoven
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?
Chuck Berry, 5:37
All Fall DownWhat can you tell me, of the perfect man. What can you tell me, now I don't quite understand. We lose our grip, we glide and stall. Some things come easy, some don't come at all. We chip away at the perfect man. What can you show me, now I don't quite understand. Eye to eye nothing left to say But will you really throw it all away. We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down. Things go wrong, though are strong. We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down Round and round, we all fall down. Sometime.... No matter how we try to keep things straight. It makes no difference, while we cause our fate. We burn our candle unaware. While on our knees we cry in prayer. We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down. Pain wont last, this too shall pass. We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down Round and round, time and time, again. But ahhhh, If it's so simple then explain to me. How pain is so close to ecstasy. How change can make you feel so free. Ahhhh, If we were meant to be such perfect fools. Then why do we always break the rules, crashing through life's scenery. We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down. Angry cries and desperate lies. We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down Hearts to mend, sun comes up again. Eric Troyer, 3:22
WitnessI saw an ant devour Sherman mountain. Slip across the floor in the river of honey. I saw the locust drinking from a fountain. It smiled at me as I paid my money. CHORUS Caus' I'm a witness, witness, see the writing on the wall. I'm a witness, witness, I say I've seen it all. Caus' I'm a witness, witness, I've got all the proof. I'm a witness, witness, I swear to tell the truth. I saw her buying in the face of fashion. Who'll believe with her little white lies. I saw her arrive on my bed of passion. But I never saw a look of love in her eyes. CHORUS Some days my eyes can see for miles and miles around. Some nights my dreams just take me deep underground. My minds a time machine, I'm in the future and the past. The past... Scrape away... (Violin Solo) CHORUS CHORUS Witness, witness, witness Witness, witness, witness Witness, witness, witness Witness, witness, witness Bev Bevan/Phil Bates, 3:32
1,000 EyesChorus The night has a thousand eyes and they're all on you The night has a thousand ears Listening to your cries Let it work its magic Let it work its magic The night has a thousand eyes You, you had to slip away After all that spark You, said all that you could say And slipped into the dark I could not let you go Alone into the night I had to let you know The magic there, in the night air Chorus Chorus Eric Troyer, 2:18
Hold On Tight
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
CHORUS:
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.
REPEAT CHORUS:
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.
Jeff Lynne, 1:56
Turn To Stone
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.
Jeff Lynne, 2:48
Rock And Roll Is KingListen 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 Chorus 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 Jeff Lynne, 3:26
Last Train To LondonIt 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. CHORUS 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 Chorus 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... Repeat Chorus Jeff Lynne, 3:44
Don't Bring Me DownYou got me runnin' goin' out of my mind, You got me thinkin' that I'm wastin' my time. Don't bring me down, no no no no no, I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor Don't bring me down. You wanna stay out with your fancy friends. I'm tellin' you it's go to be the end, Don't bring me down, no no no no no no no no, I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor Don't bring me down. Don't bring me down, grroosss Don't bring me down, grroosss Don't bring me down, grroosss Don't bring me down. What happend to the girl I used to known, You let your mind out somewhere down the road, Don't bring me down, no no no no no, I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor Don't bring me down. You're always talkin' 'bout your crazy nights, One of these days you're gonna get it right. Don't bring me down, no no no no no, I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor Don't bring me down. Don't bring me down, grroosss Don't bring me down, grroosss Don't bring me down, grroosss Don't bring me down. You're lookin' good just like a snake in the grass, One of these days you're gonna break your glass. Don't bring me down, no no no no no no no no, I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor Don't bring me down. You got me shakin' got me runnin' away You get me crawlin' up to you everyday, Don't bring me down, no no no no no, I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor Don't bring me down. Jeff Lynne, 4:21
