Electric Light Orchestra Part II was formed in 1988 by drummer Bev Bevan, a founding member of the original ELO, the successful progressive pop group led by frontman Jeff Lynne from 1971 into the mid-1980s. After Lynne officially dissolved the band, Bevan assembled a new line-up including vocalist Neil Lockwood, keyboardist Eric Troyer and bassist Pete Haycock to tour under the Electric Light Orchestra banner; Lynne soon filed suit against the group, the resulting settlement appending the "Part II" tag to any new albums or live performances. Their self-titled debut LP followed in 1991; a year later they issued a live album featuring new renditions of their classic hits.

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


Rockaria!

    Just got back from the downtown palais
    Where the music was so sweet
    It knocked me right back in the alley
    I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready,
    Wo, wo, wo, I'm ready
    And I'm really gonna rock tonight.

    Sweet little lady sings like a songbird
    And she sings the opera like you ain't never heard,
    But she ain't ready,
    No, no, no, she ain't ready
    No, no, no, she ain't ready,
    And she ain't gonna rock & roll

        CHORUS
        She's sweet on Wagner,
        I think she'd die for Beethoven,
        She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune,
        And Verdi's always creeping from her room

    Come on I'll show you how to sing the blues
    Now baby, come on over you got nothin' to lose,
    Are you ready, hey, hey, hey are you ready
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, are you ready
    I wanna show you how to rock and roll.

    Now listen here baby she, said to me
    Just, meet me at the opera house at a quarter to three,
    'Cos I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready,
    Woo, hoo, hoo, I'm ready,
    I'm gonna show you how to sing the blues.

        CHORUS -- repeat

    Far, far away the music is playing.

    Well we were reelin' and a rockin' all through the night,
    Yea we were rockin' at the opera house until the break of light,
    And the orchestra were playin' all Chuck Berry's greatest tunes.
    And the singers in the chorus all got off on singing blues,
    And as the night grew older everybody was as one,
    The people on the streets came runnin' in to join in song
    Just to hear the opera singer singin' rock & roll so pure,
    I thought I saw the mayor there but I wasn't really sure,
    But it's alright.


Roll Over Beethoven

    Gonna write a little letter gonna mail it to me local D.J.
    it's a jumpin little record I want my jockey to play
    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
    roll it over and move on up now, go for cover and reel and rock it
    roll it over, Roll Over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news

    Early in the mornin I'm a givin you the warnin,
            don't you step on my blue suede shoes
    hey diddle diddle gonna play my fiddle,
            I ain't got nothing to lose
    Roll Over Beethoven, tell Tchaikovsky the news

    She wiggles like a glow-worm, dances like a spinning top
    she got a crazy partner, you should have seen her reel and rock
    long as she got a dime, the music will never stop

    Well if you feel you like it, go get your lover and reel and rock it
    roll it over and move on up now, go for cover and reel and rock it
    roll it over, Roll Over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues

    Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven,
    Roll Over Beethoven, Roll Over Beethoven,
    Roll Over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues?


All Fall Down

    What can you tell me, of the perfect man.
    What can you tell me, now I don't quite understand.
    We lose our grip, we glide and stall.
    Some things come easy, some don't come at all.

    We chip away at the perfect man.
    What can you show me, now I don't quite understand.
    Eye to eye nothing left to say
    But will you really throw it all away.   

        We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down.
        Things go wrong, though are strong.
        We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down
        Round and round, we all fall down.
        Sometime....

    No matter how we try to keep things straight.
    It makes no difference, while we cause our fate.
    We burn our candle unaware.
    While on our knees we cry in prayer.

        We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down.
        Pain wont last, this too shall pass.
        We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down
        Round and round, time and time, again.

    But ahhhh,
    If it's so simple then explain to me.
    How pain is so close to ecstasy.
    How change can make you feel so free.

    Ahhhh,
    If we were meant to be such perfect fools.
    Then why do we always break the rules,
    crashing through life's scenery.

        We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down.
        Angry cries and desperate lies.
        We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down
        Hearts to mend, sun comes up again.


Witness

    I saw an ant devour Sherman mountain.
    Slip across the floor in the river of honey.
    I saw the locust drinking from a fountain.
    It smiled at me as I paid my money.

        CHORUS
        Caus' I'm a witness, witness, see the writing on the wall.
        I'm a witness, witness, I say I've seen it all.
        Caus' I'm a witness, witness, I've got all the proof.
        I'm a witness, witness, I swear to tell the truth.

    I saw her buying in the face of fashion.
    Who'll believe with her little white lies.
    I saw her arrive on my bed of passion.
    But I never saw a look of love in her eyes.

        CHORUS

    Some days my eyes can see for miles and miles around.
    Some nights my dreams just take me deep underground.
    My minds a time machine, I'm in the future and the past.
    The past... Scrape away...

    (Violin Solo)

        CHORUS
   
        CHORUS

    Witness, witness, witness
    Witness, witness, witness
    Witness, witness, witness
    Witness, witness, witness


Thousand Eyes

        Chorus
        The night has a thousand eyes
        and they're all on you
        The night has a thousand ears
        Listening to your cries
        Let it work its magic
        Let it work its magic
        The night has a thousand eyes

    Verse 1
    You, you had to slip away
    After all that spark
    You, said all that you could say
    And slipped into the dark
    I could not let you go
    Alone into the night
    I had to let you know

    The magic there, in the night air

        Chorus
        The night has a thousand eyes
        and they're all on you
        The night has a thousand ears
        Listening to your cries
        Let it work its magic
        Let it work its magic
        the night has a thousand eyes

    Verse 2
    You, somewhere out in the dark
    Runs a wounded heart
    You, stumbling in the night
    In the air of after light
    You take along the fears
    Did you waste these years,
    And did they warn you
    of the night zone all alone

    Sometimes it takes a fight
    To keep everything on track,
    And sometimes it takes a starry night
    To bring the magic back
    This was the time
    And this was the place
    with starlight on your face
    And the moon on the rise,
    The night has a thousand eyes


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


Don't Bring Me Down

    You got me runnin' goin' out of my mind,
    You got me thinkin' that I'm wastin' my time.
    Don't bring me down,no no no no no,
    I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
    Don't bring me down.

    You wanna stay out with your fancy friends.
    I'm tellin' you it's go to be the end,

    You let your mind out somewhere down the road,
    Don't bring me down,no no no no no,
    I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
    Don't bring me down.
   
    You're always talkin' 'bout your crazy nights,
    One of these days you're gonna get it right.
    Don't bring me down,no no no no no,   
    I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
    Don't bring me down.

        Don't bring me down,grroosss
        Don't bring me down,grroosss
        Don't bring me down,grroosss
        Don't bring me down.

    One of these days you're gonna break your glass.
    Don't bring me down,no no no no no no no no,
    I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
    Don't bring me down.
