Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) are a bit like Iron Butterfly, Cream, and other forgotten bands of the 60s and the 70s. The music produced by these bands has been tremendously, and subtly, influential, but the band names are a distant memory to most people. When labels such as CMC International resurrect these bands (long presumed to be dead by everyone except the most diehard bands), generally there are only glimses of their former brilliance. But such glimses, none the less, account for some of the best music in the 90s.

One Night, Live in Australia was recorded in Sydney during 1995, with the six members that comprise ELO Part II, augmented by a full orchestra. The album showcases everything that is great about ELO: sonic experimentation, haunting keyboards, alluring melodies, and shredding rock. There is so much going on in each song, that it's impossible to get it all in a few listens. The tempo is ever changing, and the music is a fine meld of the past and the present.

The highligts of this album are Evil Woman, Livin' Thing, Ain't Necessarily So, and a great rendition of Chuck Berry's Roll Over Beethoven. One Night. Live in Australia takes you on a musical journey like never before, and is a must get if you yearn for the days of classic progressive rock.

Can't Get It Out Of My Head

    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
              'cos I can't get it out of my head.

    Breakdown on the shoreline,
    can't move, it's an ebbtide.
    Morning don't get here till night,
    searching for her silver light.

              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
              'cos I can't get it out of my head, no no.

    Bank job in the city.
    Robin Hood and William Tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot, they don't envy me.
    Sitting till the sun goes down,
    in dreams the world keep going  round and  round.

              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
              'cos I can't get it out of my head, no no.

              No, 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
              'cos I can't get it out of my head, no no no no.


Strange Magic

    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.

    You're walking meadows in my mind,
    making waves across my time,
    oh no, oh no.

              I get a strange magic,
              oh, what a strange magic,
              oh, it's a strange magic.
              Got a strange magic,
              got a strange magic.

    Oh, I'm never gonna be the same again,
    now I've seen the way it's got to end,
    sweet dream, sweet dream.

              Strange magic,
              oh, what a strange magic,
              oh, it's a strange magic.
              Got a strange magic,
              got a strange magic.

       It's magic, it's magic, it's magic.

              Strange magic,
              oh, what a strange magic,
              oh, it's a strange magic.

Confusion

    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.

    Every night you're out there darlin'.
    You're always out there runnin'.
    And I see that lost look in your eyes.
    Confusion,I don't know what I should do.
    Confusion,I leave it all up to you.
    You've lost your love and you just can't carry on.
    You feel there's no-one there for you to lean on.

    Dark is the road you wander.
    And as you stand there under.
    The starry sky,you feel sad inside.
    Confusion,you know it's drivin' me wild.
    Confusion,it comes as no big surprise.
    You've lost your love and you just can't carry on.
    You feel there's no-one there for you to lean on.


Do Ya

    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
    But I never seen nothing like you.

        CHORUS
        Do ya do ya want my love
        Do ya do ya want my face
        Do ya do ya want my mind
        Do ya do ya want my love

    Well I, heard the crowd singin' out of tune,
    As they, sat and sang Auld Lang Syne by the light of the moon
    I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums,
    And I heard the police playin' with their guns
    But I never heard nothin' like you.

    In the country where the sky touches down
    On the field, she lay her down to rest
    In the morning sun,
    They come a'runnin' just to get a look, just to
    Feel to touch her long black hair they don't give a damn

        CHORUS -- repeat

    Well I think you know what I'm trying to say woman,
    That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day,
    I've seen enough of the world to know,
    That I've got to get it all to get it all to grow.
   
        CHORUS -- repeat


Hold On Tight

         Hold on tight to your dream
         Hold on tight to your dream
         When you see your ship go sailing
         When you feel your heart is breaking
         Hold tight to your dream.

         It's a long time to be gone
         Time just rolls on and on
         When you need a shoulder to cry on
         When you get so sick of trying
         Just hold tight to your dream

             CHORUS:
             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 & over & 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.

             REPEAT CHORUS:

         Hold on tight to your dream
         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.

         Oh, yeah
         Hold on tight to your dream
         Yeah, hold on tight...
         To your dream.


Turn To Stone

    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.


Rock 'N' Roll Is King

    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
    She says feel that jumpin' beat, and git up on your feet
    She says rock 'n' roll is king

        Chorus: Oh let those guitars play
        Play for me play for me
        Oh let that song ring out
        That's how it's meant to be

    It rolls like a train that's comin' on down the track
    She rolled over Beethoven and she gave Tchaikovsky back
    She loves that drivin' beat, she goes dancin' on down the street
    She said rock 'n' roll is king

        Chorus
   
    When she comes around and I'm listenin' to the radio
    She says you can't do that 'cause all I wanna do is rock 'n' roll
    Now here I'm gonna stay where that music starts to play
    She says rock 'n' roll is king


Last Train To London

    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,one of those nights when
    you feel the world stop turnin',you were standing
    There,there was music in the air.I should have been
    Away,but I knew I'd have to stay.

           CHORUS

           Last train to London,just headin' out,
           Last train to London,just leavin' 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 burnin',everybody was there,
    Everybody to share,it felt so right.

    There you were on your own,lookin' like you were
    The only one around,I had to be with you,
    Nothin' else that I could do,
    I should have been away,but I knew I'd have to say.

           Repeat Chorus

    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...

           Repeat Chorus


Roll Over Beethoven

    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
    Roll Over Beethoven, they're rockin in two by two

    Well if you feel you like it, go get your lover and reel and rock it

Telephone Line

    Hello--how are you
    Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights,
    That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything,
    If you'd pick up that telephone.

    Hey--how you feelin'
    Are you still the same
    Don't you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream,
    I just can't believe
    They've all faded out of view.

        I look into the sky
                (The love you need ain't gonna see you through.)
        And I wonder why
                (The little things are finally coming true.)   

        CHORUS
        Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
        Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight

    O.K. so no--one's answering,
    Well can't you just let it ring a little longer
    I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night
    Let it ring for evermore.

        CHORUS -- repeat


Standin' In The Rain

         (Concerto for a rainy day...)
         (Rain...)

         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
         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'm standing in the rain
         It's teeming down on me
         Cats & dogs
         I wanna be free.

         I'm standing in the rain
         Doing my thing
         I'm trying my best
         What does it bring?
         I'm standing in the rain
         Getting soaking wet
         I'm doing my best
         But what does it get?

         The good intentions and the pain
         Lay drowned now in the pouring rain
         I tried to be so good this time
         But here I am under the sky.

         The good intentions and the pain
         Lay drowned now in the pouring rain.


Livin' Thing

    Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
    It's like magic
    Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin'
    It's magic

        CHORUS
        And you, and your sweet desire,
        You took me, higher and higher
        It's a livin' thing,
        It's a terrible thing to lose
        It's a given thing
        What a terrible thing to lose.
   
    Making believe this is what you've conceived
    From your worst day,
    Moving in line when you look back in time
    To your first day
   
        CHORUS -- repeat

    Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide
    Floating downstream,
    So let her go don't start spoiling the show
    It's a bad dream

        CHORUS -- repeat


One More Tomorrow

    I'm lying here, I know the night must fall
    The edge of darkness is so near
    So hold back the night, hold back the night
    It's the darkness that I fear

    And in my heart there's not a shadow of a doubt
    The final truth waits there fore me
    Nowhere to hide, nowhere to hide
    From the memories

        CHORUS
        Give me one more tomorrow
        All these todays alone
        Mean nothing anymore
        Give me one more tomorrow
        Another chance to find
        What I've been searching for

    Inner voices in the quiet of the night
    Angry silence calls to me
    There's no time for tears, no time for tears
    Find a way to break free

        CHORUS

    I'm praying for a little piece of heaven tonight
    I'm searching for some help from a friend
    And all I need is a miracle
    To help me through this night that never ends, it never ends

        CHORUS TWICE
