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 |

Summer came and passed away, hardly seemed to last a day but it's over and what can I do? Music playin' in the air, silence on a darkened stair 'cos it's over and what can I do? It's over, it's over, all over, it's all over now and the way you looked don't even mean I'm down. When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye there is nothing much to speak of. Feelin' down, down, down, it's all over. Feelin' down, down, down. Baby, baby, it's all gone, rolled out to sea. Lookin' over sunny days, searchin' for the righteous wave 'cos it's over and what can I do? Lookin' from this distant shore you ain't sailin' by no more 'cos it's over and what can I do? It's over, it's over, all over, it's all over now and the way you looked don't even mean I'm down. When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye there is nothing much to speak of. Feelin' down, down, down, it's all over. Feellin' down, down, down. Ah, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's all over and what can I do? Ah, it's over, it's over, it's all over. Oh, it's over, it's over. Don't shed a tear for me, it's over, don't shed a tear although it's over. |

I ve been workin' so hard, baby, tryin' to get to you. I'm gonna be there soon because In the heat of the day many miles away when the sun is beating down upon the main street I'll be waiting here at the station, I gotta move down the line. They'll be dancin' and singin' and doin' their thing and they'll be rockin' and rollin' until the day is done. You know I got to make the deadline. I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh. If I don't get to the border then I'll write. The Mardi Gras will be blowing strong and the people dancing all across the city. I'm leaving here tonight, I gotta move down the line. I'm gonna catch a ride on the nine-o-five, I'm gonna ride the rail until we reach the morning, maybe three or four hundred miles. I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh. If I don't get to the border then I'll write. When the wind is blowing softly through the streets of a little town and the music's playin you're waiting somewhere over the horizon. I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh. If I don't get to the border then I'll write. - Jeff Lynne |

Standin' at the airport lookin' down the strip, she was cryin' her eyes, she was bitin' her lip. Seven-four-seven just left from gate eleven and there's no turnin' round 'cos it's just leavin' the ground and gettin' higher HIGHER. Standin' at the dock-side lookin' out to sea when I saw her but she did not see me. There she stood with no hope because she'd missed the boat and as her dreams sailed away she headed back for the day, back to the city CITY. Night in the city, o-o-oh, madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight, night in the city drivin' you insane. In the city CITY Night in the city, o-o-oh, madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight, night in the city drivin' you insane. I was runnin' kinda lonely at the city place. I waited for an hour, I never saw her face. Crazy ladies that wait and slide around like a snake. I just can't take anymore, I'm going in through the door into the city CITY. I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you, I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you, I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you, I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you, I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you, I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you, drivin' you insane. Night in the city, o-o-oh, madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight, night in the city drivin' you insane, drivin' you insane, drivin' you insane. - Jeff Lynne |

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. Starlight, your eyes are lookin' out so far away. Constellation in the sky is smiling down on me, I wonder, wonder why. I can feel you're so real, I can see you're so near and the you run. You gotta stop foolin' around, keep your feet on the ground, little girl, and starlight will shine all around, little girl. You had me all the summer long, little girl. Moonglow, come light the way up to my window. As you roll across the night don't tell noby that I told you so. 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. You had me all the summer long, little girl. Starlight, your eyes are lookin' down on me so far away. (repeat & fade) - Jeff Lynne |

I was standing in the jungle, I was feeling alright
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm I was wondering in the darkness, in the middle of the night Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm The moon began to shine, I saw a clearing ahead Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm But what's that going on, I think I'm outta my head Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm. Chooka chooka hoo la ley Looka looka koo la ley. A hundred animals were gathered 'round in the night Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm And they were singing out a lovely song under the pale moonlight Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm I stood and stared for quite a while Then a lion sang to me and smiled: "Come join us if you so desire." Chooka chooka hoo la ley Looka looka koo la ley. I said now please explain the meaning of this song you sing Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm "Wondrous is our great blue ship That sails around the might sun And joy to everyone that rides along!" Chooka chooka hoo la ley Looka looka koo la ley. And they danced! Pretty soon I knew the tune and We sat and sang under the moon And the jungle rang in joyful harmony. Chooka chooka hoo la ley Looka looka koo la ley. Chooka chooka hoo la ley Looka looka koo la ley. "Wondrous is our great blue ship That sails around the might sun And joy to everyone that rides along!" |

Pack up all your things,
We're gonna be leavin' Sooner than I thought. Take the things you bought, Clouds are gathering. Say goodbye to all your friends, We're gonna be sorry. For a while, that's how it goes, But then again, who knows About the rain? I'm steppin' out, I'm moving on, I'm gonna see the world Like a rolling stone, I'm steppin' out. I'm gonna be somebody... Ooh, I'm steppin' out. Did you hear what he said? He said they sold me down the river. They thought I thought I was a fool, They said the rain would fall. What did they know? Then I saw your face, Heard the song that you were singin'. Though I thought I knew the words, The tune was quite absurd And out of key. Doo dah dah dee. I'm steppin' out, I'm moving on, I'm gonna see the world Like a rolling stone, I'm steppin' out. I'm gonna be somebody... Ooh, I'm steppin' out. I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out. Steppin' out, Steppin' out, Steppin' out. Don't know where I'm going, Gonna see the world, Gonna be somebody... Don't know where I'm going, I'm just steppin' out, I'm steppin' out, I'm steppin' out. |

(Concerto for a rainy day...)
(Rain...) I'm standing in the rain I'm waiting all alone I'm so tired I want to 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've been thinking it over
So many times they say You got it made They never understand The answer lies within your soul 'cos no one know which side The coin will fall. Big wheels turning Baby i know Big wheels turning Baby i know Big wheels turning, turning... Save it for a rainy day For when the cold wind blows Just to see how they run I thought they'd know I tried my best, all i could do But somehow it was not enough for you. Big wheels turning Baby i know Big wheels turning Baby i know Big wheels turning, turning, Turning, turning... Chorus: I remember the dead of night A lonely light that shines upon the window I see it all so clear The tenderness, the silent tears Out here in the pouring rain Through cold dark waiting days I see you standing there I see the big wheels turning Never ending, on and on they go. I think i'm going home I think i'm gonna have to start again It's rather sad Because i've looked around, can't seem to find Whatever's always rolling through my mind Big wheels turning Baby i know Big wheels turning Baby i know Big wheels turning, turning Turning, turning... Repeat chorus |

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 And the light that shines Paints a trace of sadness On the street, I wait, I can't seem to get to you. Well, you start to sway, Check your Cartier 'Cause it's getting late, You can't afford to wait, So you move along Where it's going on And the people of the night Are playing 'till the dawn And the sun that shines Paints a trace of sadness In your eyes that cry, Wishin' and hopin'. Sweet, sweet is the night, Now you are near. Dark, dark were the days, They disappear. Sweet, sweet is the night, Now you are near. Well, you did your thing And you lost your wings And you hurt so bad You lost everything And the tears that fall On the city wall Will fade away with The rays of morning light That shines Paints a smile across Your pretty face I know Everything is alright, alright. Sweet, sweet is the night, Now you are near. Dark, dark were the days, They disappear. Sweet, sweet is the night, Now you are near. (Sweet is the night) Sweet, sweet is the night, Now you are near. Dark, dark were the days, They disappear. Sweet, sweet is the night, Now you are near. (Now you are near) |

Working on the road across this great big world
I've been rolling like a stone, i never get back home Yes, i've been long-gone And boy, i've got the birmingham blues. Been across the ocean to the south sea isles Yeah, i travelled to the east and west for mile and miles and miles And i've been long-gone And boy, i've got the birmingham blues. Chorus: Across the world i've seen People and places Could be the same But with a different name. I wouldn't change the things i do for anything But i'd just like to hear the message of the streets again Give me a ticket Cause boy, i've got the birmingham blues. It may be kind of homely but it sure is sweet Industrial revolution put it on its feet But it's a long, long way Boy, i've got the birmingham blues. Repeat chorus I'll go and stay awhile and all the folks i meet They'll say "you won't stay long, you got them travelling feet You'll soon be long-gone 'cos boy, you got the rest of the world blues!" Repeat chorus Repeat chorus |

Wish I was, yeah, a wild west hero. Sometimes i look up high and then I think there might just be a better life. Away from all we know, that's where I wanna go, out on the wild side and I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero. Ride the range all the day till the first fading light, be with my western girl round the fire, oh, so bright. I'd be the Indians friend, let them live to be free, ridin' into the sunset, I wish I could be. I'd ride the desert sands and through the prairie lands, try'n to do what's right. The folks would come to me, they'd say, we need you here. I'd stay there for the night. Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero. Ride the range all the day till the first fading light, be with my western girl round the fire, oh, so bright. I'd be the Indians friend, let them live to be free, ridin' into the sunset, I wish I could be. Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero. Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero. Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero. Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero. Wish I was, o-o-oo-o-o-o-oo, a wild west hero. |
