ELO Album

(Reversed)
The music is reversible,
But time is not
Turn back
Turn back
Turn back
Turn back...

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.

Love is all, waterfall, love is what you are,
Pulls you in, takes you down, it's a sad affair.
But you know, as you hold back the power there,
Without the friends and lovers, you could never go on living.

Across the waterfall that's falling evermore down on you,
Cascading through the days, and flowing on its way,
That's how it has to be, just an illusion.

Love is all, waterfall, love is what you are,
Pulls you in, takes you down, it's a sad affair.
But you know, as you hold back the power there,
Without the friends and lovers, you could never go on living.

Electric Light Orchestra Face The Music Evil Woman

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 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 cryin' shame
But you ain't got nobody else to blame

CORUS
Evil woman, evil woman, 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 feelin' pain
But you better get your face on board the very next train

CHORUS

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 a 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

I remember somewhere in the rain
The faces of the passers-by,
Staring faces broken blinds.
I recall the situation clearly
Standing in a crowded car;
I can feel the need in me.

Hold on, nightrider baby,
Hold on, you're a nightrider...
Riding the night, searching for what is gone,
Never reaching the end, so you must travel on.

I still see that vision of delight
While cruising on the black of night,
But she keeps a step ahead.
Looking out the corner of her world,
Nobody ever knows a girl
Who once lived along this way.

Hold on, nightrider baby,
Hold on, you're a nightrider...
Riding the night, searching for what is gone,
Never reaching the end, so you must travel on.

Desolation degradation row,
Go on; don't let the feeling show,
She's a ten a penny dream.
Faces with no name and no address
Keep staring in on my distress,
But she kills me with her smile.

Hold on, nightrider baby,
Hold on, you're a nightrider...
Riding the night, searching for what is gone,
Never reaching the end, so you must travel on.

Away, the joker's closing in,
Reform and they will win,
The light is fading fast.
I know, you know, they know, we all know,
Everybody's gonna burn down.

The girls come crawling on all fours,
Banging on locked doors,
High cards call the tune.
I know, you know, they know, we all know,
Everybody's gonna burn down.

Play me another hand,
Loose everything I am,
Until we meet again.

The ace that's hiding up your sleeve
Will cause the world to grieve,
The love you had is gone.
I know you know, they know, we all know.

The dream in every player's heart
To win it all, not part,
They lie awake at night.
I know, you know, they know, we all know.

The game where gamblers rule the night,
And get your blood they might,
The joker's closin' in.
I know, you know, they know, we all know.

You're sailing softly
Through the sun in a broken stone age dawn
You fly, so high, I get a

Chorus
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

Repeat Chorus

Oh I'm never gonna be the same again
Now I've seen the way it's got to end,
Sweet Dream, Sweet Dream

Repeat Chorus

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

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

No monkey business in this town.
Well, who do you think you're pushing round?
This town's respectable and clean,
Just look around, you'll see what I mean.

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

Down home town, down home town,
Down home town, down home town,
Down home town, down home town.

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

We got the best town band around,
Just listen to their crazy sound.
When they get hot, they gonna blow,
You see them winnin' every show.

Look away! Look away!
Look away! Look away!

Down home town (gotta get down, gotta get down),
Down home town (gotta get down, gotta get down),
Down home town,
Down home town (oh, I think they're coming down now),
Down home town.

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

Look away! Look away!

So I go,
Though it hurts me so.
I'm crying
For your love.

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.

Warm summer breeze blows endlessly,
Touching the hearts of those who feel.
One summer dream, one summer dream.

Bird on wing goes floating by,
But there's a teardrop in his eye.
One summer dream, one summer dream,
One summer dream, one summer dream.

(One summer dream...)

Deep waters flow out to the sea,
Warm summer breeze blows endlessly.
(One summer dream, one summer dream)
One summer dream, one summer dream.
(One summer dream...)
One summer dream, one summer dream,
One summer dream, one summer dream,
One summer dream, one summer dream,
One summer dream, one summer dream,
One summer dream, one summer dream,
One summer dream...

Pulls you in, takes you down, it's a sad affair.
But you know, as you hold back the power there,
Without the friends and lovers, you could never go on living.

Across the waterfall that's falling evermore down on you,
Cascading through the days, and flowing on its way,
That's how it has to be, just an illusion.

Love is all, waterfall, love is what you are,
Pulls you in, takes you down, it's a sad affair.
But you know, as you hold back the power there,
Without the friends and lovers, you could never go on living.
