seems like forever and time left to spare
when i look out the window
and still you're not there
you're a long time gone
such a long time gone
tearing down memories bitter and sweet
smashing away 'til it's all obsolete
you're a long time gone

Radio announcer (spoken) Warning! Today's forecast calls for blue skies.

Sun 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.

Did you see your friend crying from his eyes today
Did you see him run through the streets and far away
Aah
Did you see him run, did you see him fall
Did his life flash by at the bedroom door

Did you hear the news it came across the air today
Someone has been found on the rocks down in the bay

A penny in your pocket
Suitcase in your hand
They won't get you very far
Now you're a 21st century man.
Fly across the city
Rise above the land
You can do 'most anything
Now you're a 21st century man.

Everybody all around the world
Gotta tell you what I just heard
There's gonna be a party all over the world

I got a message on the radio
But where it came from I don't really know
And I heard these voices calling all over the world

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
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

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.

The streets, the signs are pointing all one way
But you don't realize just what they say
You may fight, you may run, you may know what you've done
It makes me feel so sad to think what I might've had
I watch the stars, I watch the sun, now I watch for anyone
But it's only make believe

You work, you work, you work so hard and then

Pretty pretty are the girls as they go by
Chilly chilly is the air under moonlit sky
The windows watch you as you walk along
And the streets lead back to where you started from

The cities watching and you can't get by
No matter where you hide you know the buildings have eyes
This place is lonely but you can't get away

(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

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

I'm standin' in the rain
I'm waiting all alone
I'm so tired
I wanna go home
I'm standin' in the rain
Getting soaking wet
I'm doin' my best
But what do I get?

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.

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

You 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,

The world outside don't like us much,
'Cos they ain't got our classy touch,
But they ain't good enough to breathe,
This towns good air we make 'em leave.

CHORUS:
But it's no, no, no, you really can't do that,
No, no, no, down homw town.

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

You made a fool of me
But them broken dreams have got to end
Hey woman you got the blues
Cause you ain't got no one else to use
There's an open road that leads no where
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

Woke up one morning half asleep
With all my blankets in a heap
and yellow roses gathered all around me;
the time was still approaching four
I couldn't stand it anymore
Saw marigolds upon my eider down.

I'm just sitting watching flowers in the rain

I used to think she was the greatest thing
I really cared, gave her a diamond ring
She said she'd rather die than ever leave me
Well, I never saw her face since then
And if the law don't get her then I will-
Four little diamonds

She must be somewhere on the open road

Here is the news
Coming to you every hour on the hour
(Here is the news)
The weather's fine but there may be a meteor shower.

Here is the news
A cure's been found for good old rocket lag
(Here is the news)

M-m-m, hold on tight to your dream, yeah
Hold on tight to your dream
When you see your ship go sailing
When you feel your heart is breaking
Hold on tight to your dream.

M-m-m, it's a long time to be gone (Hold on, hold on)
O-oh, time just rolls on and on (Hold on, hold on)

We're just a stone's throw
From Burning Hellfire
Does anybody know,
Where did all the heroes go?
We've had our fill of
This gallery of scoundrels,
The leaders of the world,
Those power hungry liars

найдите в этих ребятах изъян!!!

Doom, gloom and misery
Thats what you gave to me
Cold, tight, late and mean
Beyond my wildest dreams

Now that its over

Summer days, where did you go,
You've let me down so bad,
Clouds fill the sky,
Gone is the dream
My happy hunting ground.
Wild buffalo played and I never saw a rainy day.
But it looks like summer days ain't coming back.

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,

Your coming up the walk,
Your banging on the door
The seconds of the loneliness
Are coming through the floor

Let it run, let it run, let it run
And out of the band comes a guitar man
Singing come on let it run

Sailin away on the crest of a wave

Its like magic

Rollin and ridin and slippin & slidin

Its magic

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

They used to tell me, "Boy, you ain't goin' nowhere
With your cheap guitar and your big, long hair
You gotta realise all your responsibilities
You gotta get out to work and face reality."

You gotta get up in the morning, take your heavy load
And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road.

They used to tell me, "Boy, you ain't goin' nowhere

And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road.

Look at Me Now
Electric Light Orchestra
Someone is waiting, lurking in the trees
The spirit of her is walking back to me
Ah look at me now feeling emotion
Ah look at me now

The King of the castle brought her to her knees

LOOK AT ME NOW

Someone is waiting, lurking in the trees.
The spirit of her is walking back to me.
Ah, look at me now feeling emotion.
Ah, look at me now.

The King of the castle brought her to her knees.

I don't mind the pain, or the jokers' cold refrain
The days pass by so slowly, I count them all again
Silence of a basement, shades all closed at noon
Lie awake for fear of strangers

Darkness comes on slowly, twilight is the ecstasy
Like a candle burning bright, shadows dance until the night
Empty rooms and chilling smiles

It takes a lot of rain to make a flower grow
Yes it takes a lot of love and rain
And it makes a lot of pain to see you steppin' out
Yes it makes a lot of rain

Love and rain, keep comin' back again
Ooh love and rain

see the lonely road that leads so far away,
I see the distant lights that left behind the day
But what I see is so much more than I can say
And I see you midnight blue.

I see you cryin' now you've found a lot of pain,
And what you're searchin' for can never be the same,
But what's the difference cos' they say what's in a name.

She came up from the country with a smile for everyone
she left her blue horizon just to find another home
a lonely girl who'd travelled many days
a lonely heart that could not find a way

[chorus:]
and she said Momma, it's a hard life now you're gone
Momma, it's so hard to carry on

Sun is shinin' in the sky
there ain’t a cloud in sight.
It’s stopped rainin'
ev’rybody’s in a play.
And don’t you know
it’s a beautiful new day
hey
hey

Sun 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,

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

Who thanked the Lord for the clothes
that she wore and mended,
Nellie with the big old fashioned eyes
Who won the heart of a crowd
tore apart, took a bow,
Nellie there's a different world backstage

I see the flood lights burning

Susan 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

Im lying here, I know the night must fall
The edge of darkness is so near
So hold back the night, hold back the night
Its the darkness that I fear

And in my heart theres not a shadow of a doubt
The final truth waits there fore me
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide

Deep waters flow, out to the sea,
They never needed you or me.
One Summer Dream, One Summer dream.

Blue Mountains high and valley low,
I don't know which way I should go,
One Summer Dream, One Summer dream.

I couldn't really understand at all
The writing on the wall
From you to me

A jigsaw puzzle of a twisted tale
That set its lonely sail
From you to me

By the time I´d sleep the pouring rain
I was flying down the road again
I was heading for some with I shouldn't be

In the hurting shooting
mean to wait
but it turn back now or its to late

Queen of the hours lies waiting for the wind to blow away the veil of time
Slowly now the threads of age are starting to unwind

(Chorus:)
Queen of the hours
Along, Along, Along the path of time, of time,
She is still
The clock shall tell the tale

Well listen everybody let me tell you ’bout the rock ’n’ roll
Oh feel that rhythm and it’s really gonna thrill your soul
Hmm 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
Oh 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"

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

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

A moving stream of information
That is floating on the wind, the secrets never end
And now they call, they sing, they play
They dance for you from out of the blue, what can you do?

The secret messages are calling to me endlessly
They call to me across the air
The messages across the atmosphere

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 'cause today's another day

You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life

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 through there'll be more pain

Two drifters on the morning sky,
Two drifters sailing wide and high,
When summer breezes blow across your mind,
With you, I will walk the line.

CHORUS
I want it so fine
I want it so fine

Night after night
I try to make it all fit together
Night after night
I see you as someone I remember

You took me by surprise
Opened up my eyes
Now we gotta talk this over

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

Starlight, I hear you callin' out to me.
Sweet love rollin' across my mind again.
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do.
And then you run.

You gotta stop foolin' around,
keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
and starlight will shine all around, little girl.

I was going round the world
I was looking for somewhere
I was searching for someone
Who was gonna take me there

Didn't want to do it 'cause I knew what I'd find
Your're Really only living in a state of mind, yeah

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.

On a cold and windy morning
Said goodbye to my old friends
They were hangin' around the corner
They were stayin' till the end

On the other side of midnight,
I was lookin' for a place to stay
And one thing's sure for certain

When the day is done
And there's nowhere to run
And the people of the city
Have all lost and won,
In your city dress,
You stand and stare
And you smoke another cigarette
And comb your hair

I was searching (searching) on a one-way street

I was hoping (hoping) for a chance to meet

I was waiting for the operator on the line

(She's gone so long) What can I do?

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?

Monday:Late again,today,he'd be in trouble though
he'd say he was sorry,he'd have to hurry out to 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. Uh Oh.

CHORUS

Chorus
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 it’s magic
Let it work it’s magic
The night has a thousand eyes

Electric Light Orchestra — Ticket To The Moon.

Remember the good old 1980's,
When things were so uncomplicated,
I wish I could go back there again,
And everything could be the same.

I've got a ticket to the moon,

Remember the good old 1980s?
When things were so uncomplicated?
I wish I could go back there again
And everything could be the same.

I've got a ticket to the moon
I'll be leaving here any day soon
Yeah, I've got a ticket to the moon

They say some days you're gonna win,
They say some days you're gonna lose.
I tell you I got news for you
Your losin' all the time you never win
If you believe that's how it's gonna be I'd better put you down
Get off your tightrope up there come down on
The ground you gotta save me now,
You better turn around.

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)

The visions dancing in my mind
The early dawn, the shades of time
Twilight crawling through my windowpane
Am I awake or do I dream?
The strangest pictures I have seen
Night is day and twilight's gone away

With your head held high and your scarlet lies

World's going through some changes

I see so many things that

I don't understand

And people - have got to feel the power

Waterfall
(Jeff Lynne)

So now it's getting late
For those who hesitate, got no one,
But they don't understand and no one hears the sound,
It's like a waterfall, it's an illusion.

Far beyond the things you see
Time rolls on eternally
Got a thing about it
Just can't live without it

Sitting there inside your mind
Just waiting for the clock to chime
On a lonely line

Whisper in the night
Over silent evening air
Angel's gown shines white
All at once you're glad she's there
Daughter of your dream shine a guiding light for me
For I'll be here till light
Whisper in the night
Till she has forgiven me

Little darlin',don't you cry,
You know I'll try to be there with you by and by
When everything is going wrong now don't you cry.
I'm wishin'.
Little darlin',far away,
I see the world go rollin' by my window pane,
But I can only wish that I was there again.
I'm wishin'.

I watch the cars move
I watch the lights up on the window
I walk along the street
I'm only thinking of you
I watch the clock staring from the wall
It hardly moves at all
It's you I'm waiting for.

2095, 2095, 2095, 2095
I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly...

I sent a message to another time
But as the days unwind, this I just can't believe
I sent a note across another plane
Maybe it's all a game, but this I just can't conceive.
