03-EVIL WOMAN - La m
Electric Light Orchestra
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
Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman
Rolled in from another town
Hit some gold, too hard 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 (train)
Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman (you're an evil woman)
Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman (you're an evil woman)
Evil woman
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
Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman (you're an evil woman)
Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman (you're an evil woman)
Evil woman (such an evil woman)
Evil woman (you're an evil woman)
Evil woman (such an evil woman)

06-LAST TRAIN TO LONDON - Mi m
Electric Light Orchestra
It was nine twenty-nine
Nine twenty-nine, 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 turning
You were standing there
There was music in the air
I should have been away
But I knew I had to stay
Last train to London
Just heading out
Last train to London
Just leaving 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 burning
Everybody was there, everybody to share
It was so right
There you were on your own
Looking like you were the only one around
I had to be with you
Nothing else that I could do
I should have been away
But I knew I had to stay
Last train to London
Just heading out
Last train to London
Just leaving town
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you
Let the music play on down the line tonight

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
Last train to London
Just heading out
Last train to London
Just leaving town
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you
Let the music play on down the line tonight

10-SHANGRI-LA - La M
Electric Light Orchestra
Sitting here, waiting for,
Someone calling at my door,
Too bad,
I'm getting out of love.
What's the use of changing things,
Wonder what tomorrow brings,
Who knows,
I'm getting out of love.
My Shangri-la has gone away,
Faded like the Beatles on Hey Jude
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue
Clouds roll by and hide the sun,
Raindrops fall on everyone,
So sad,
I'm getting out of love.
My Shangri-la has gone away,
Faded like the Beatles on Hey Jude
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue
My Shangri-la has gone away,
Faded like the Beatles on Hey Jude
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue
11-TICKET TO THE MOON - Re m
Electric Light Orchestra
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
I'll be leaving here any day soon
Yeah,
I've got a ticket to the moon
But I'd rather see the sunrise,
in your eyes
Got a ticket to the moon
I'll be rising high above the earth so soon
And the tears I cry might turn into the rain
That gently falls
upon your window
You'll never know
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
Fly, fly through a troubled sky
Up to a new world shining bright, oh oh
Flying high above
Soaring madly through the mysteries that come
Wondering sadly if the ways that led me here
Could turn around and I would see you there
Standing there (I would see you there)
Ticket to the moon
Flight leaves here today from Satellite 2
As the minutes go by, what shall I do
I paid the fare, what more can I say?
It's just one way
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon
12-WATERFALL - Re M
Electric Light Orchestra
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.
[break]
Across the waterfall
that's falling evermore
down on you,
Cascading through the days,
and flowing on it's 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.
