Electric Light Orchestra - Time (1981) by Electric Light Orchestra (보컬) on maniadb.com

Just on the border of your waking mind,
There lies another time
Where darkness and light are one,
And as you tread the halls of sanity
You feel so glad to be unable to go beyond.

I have a message from another time.

The visions dancing in my mind,
The early dawn the shades of time.
Twilight crawling through my window pane.

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,
You came down to me from the open skies,
It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between

*Twilight, I only meant to stay a while
Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me.

Across the night I saw your face
You disappeared without a trace
You brought me here but can you take me back.

Inside the image of your light
That now is day and once was night
You leave me here and then you go away.

*Repeat

You brought me here but can you take me back again.

With your head held high and your scarlet lies,
You came down to me from the open skies,
It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between

*Repeat

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

I drive the very latest hover car,
I don't know where you are - but I miss you so much till then,
I met someone who looks alot like youm
She does the things you do, but she is an IBM

She's only programmed to be very nice,
But she's as cold as ice, whenever I get to near,
She tells me that she likes me very much,
But when I try to touch, she makes it all to clear.

She is the latest in technology,
Almost mythology, but she has a heart of stone,
She has an IQ of 1,001,
She has a jump suit on, and she's also a telephone.

*Is that what you want - is it what you really want.

I realize that it must seem so strange,
That time has rearranged, but time has the final word
She knows I think of you, she reads my mind,
She tries to be unkind, she knows nothing of our world

Although her memory banks overflow
No one would ever know, all she says is that what you want
Maybe one day I'll feel her cold embrace,
And kiss her interface, until then I'll leave her alone

*Repeat

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
Fly, fly through a troubled sky
Up to a new world shining bright.

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

Ticket to the moon,
Flight leaves here today from satellite 2,
As the minutes go by what shall I do,
I paid the fare but what more can I say,
It's just one way.

Ticket to the moon,

Well I came a long way to be here today
And I left you so long on this avenue,
And here I stand in the strangest land
Not knowing what to say or do.
As I gaze around at these strangers in town,
I guess the only stranger is me,
And I wonder, yes I wonder, is this
The way life's meant to be.

Although it's only a day since I was taken away
And left standing here looking in wonder,
The ground at my feet feet maybe it's just the old street
But everything that I know lies under,
And when I see what they've done to this place that was home,
Shame is all that I feel,
And I wonder, yes I wonder, is this
The way life's meant to be.

Too late, too late to cry, the people say,
Too late for you, too late for me,
You've come so far now you know everything my friend
Just look and see the wonders of our world.

As I wander around this wreck of a town
Where people never speak aloud,
With it's ivory towers and it's plastic flowers
I wish I was back in 1981
Just to see your face, instead of this place
Now I know what you mean to me,
And I wonder, yes I wonder, is this
The way life's meant to be.

Another heart breaks, another heart breaks.

Another heart breaks, another heart breaks.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Another heart breaks, another heart breaks.

Early in the morning,
The sun was up and the sky was very blue.
Without a warning,
As I looked out, my thoughts returned to you.
A noise in the city made the children run,
And hide themselves away,
And thunder boomed and lightning filled the sky.

Looking from this window,
A thousand rivers running past my door.
Standing on an island, looking for someone
Upon the shore,
I can see it very clearly nothing's really changed,
Then lightning strikes across an empty sky.

*Ooh - the rain is falling,
Ooh - the rain is falling,
Ooh - the rain is falling,
Will it wash away the lonely tears.

With their brand new time transporter,
They'll think maybe I fought to get away.
But with all their great inventions,
And all their good intentions here I stay.
Down on the corner where the sun had shone,
The people gathered 'round,
Then scattered as the raindrops hit the ground,

*Repeat

Oh you, you're so hard to get to,
Oh you, you don't wanna play,
You were no better before,
I sent a letter before,
I sent a dream to you last night
From the end of the world.

Oh you, you keep me hangin' 'round and 'round
And 'round,
Oh you, look at the trouble I've found,
You were no better before,
I sent a letter before,
I sent a dream to you last night
From the end of the world.

I saw you last night but you couldn't answer,
You were a lonely little sidewalk dancer,
When I woke up I could not stand it,
You were gone but I got to hand it to you.

(Solo)
Oh please if this is a game I wish someone would win
Oh please just let it fly to be upon the wind
You were no better before, I sent a letter before,
I sent a dream to you baby last night
From the end of the world

One day, I gotta get out of here,
I gotta make everything clear,
I gotta see you.

I know, the way that I feel is wrong, so wrong.
But I gotta carry on, when you ain't around.

I believe things are going wrong,
And the night goes on and on,
All your dreams have flown away,
And the sun won't shine today.

*The lights go down,
The lights go down,
The lights go down and there's no one around.

I know, you're waiting so close to me,
But how will you ever see, as time rolls away,
Lonely, but tryin' to be so proud,
And just as I turn around, the lights go down.

I believe things are going wrong,
And the night goes on and on,
All your dreams have flown away,
And the sun won't shine today.

*Repeat

Here is the news,
Coming to you every hour upon 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,
Someone left their life behind in a plastic bag.

Here is the news,
Another action filled adventure,
Here is the news,
All the worst from the world convention.

Here is the news,
I wanna go home I want my baby back.

Here is the news,
Somebody has broken out of satellite 2.
Here is the news,
Look very carefully it may be you.

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

Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow
you still wander the fields of your sorrow

One day you're a hero next day you're a clown
there's nothing that is in between
now you're a 21st century man

You should be so happy, you should be so glad
so why are you so lonely, you 21st century man

You stepped out of a dream believing everything was gone
return with what you've learnt
they'll kiss the ground you walk upon

Things ain't how you thought they were
nothing have you planned
so pick up your penny and your suitcase
you're not a 21st century man

Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow
you still wander the fields of your sorrow
21st century man

Hmm....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..ooh..to your dream

Hmm....it's a long time to be gone
Oh....time just rolls on and on
When you need a shoulder to cry on
When you get so sick of trying
Hold on tight to your dream

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 and over and 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.

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 and over and over you could

Yeah....hold on tight to your dream
Yeah....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

Ooh yeah
Hold on tight to your dream
Yeah...hold on tight...
To your dream

You should be so happy
You should be so glad
21st century man.

Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow
You still wander the fields of your sorrow.

Time, time, time, time...
