we're including in the act. Jeff

LOOKING
ON (Roy Wood)
Standing
up in someone's place
Looking down on me
Now I may behold you face
As it's supposed to be
Get you in
I've tried enough to keep you clean
Give you in
You take a yard
You're too real mean
Oh
may it not be so
See me looking down
I'm just Looking On
Standing
with my head so messed
Closing down on me
There's a pain inside my chest
Where my soul should be
Give you in
I see you as they all spy now
Get you in
They be you as they all cry now.
Oh
may it not be so
See me looking down
I'm just Looking On
Standing
up in someone's place
Looking down on me
Now I may behold you face
As it's supposed to be
Get you in
I've tried enough to keep you clean
Give you in
You take a yard
You're too real mean
Oh
may it not be so
See me looking down
I'm just Looking On
TURKISH TRAM CONDUCTOR BLUES
(Roy Wood)
Hey
Mr. Judge
The trams are coming down the line
Their cargo ain't too much
It may contain some friends of mine
I heard they smuggle immigrants
Along the Western Midland line
One
summer time
There came a gypsy caravan
Seemed so inclined
Ran over the inspector man
Discovered they were yellow
Promptly threw them in the can
Turn
over turn over
Turn over turn over
Turn over turn over
I'd hate to throw you back again
Turn
the volume up
Until you blow the speaker cone
Hey Mr. Judge
You have to give your dog a bone
There's a rhino in the kitchen
Send him on a tram back home
Hey
Mr. Judge
The trams are coming down the line
Their cargo ain't too much
It may contain some friends of mine
I heard they smuggle immigrants
Along the Western Midland line
Turn
over turn over
Turn over turn over
Turn over turn over
I'd hate to throw you back again
WHAT ? (Jeff
Lynne)
What
is that stranger in the sky?
Why should a strange star pass me by?
How can you congratulate the people who destroyed
the piece of mind the silly people just like you and better too?
How can they keep turning when the overture is burning
on the faces of the people in the churches of the land?
That's
all they wait
There are, right from the light
The day has come at last
People
that cry in the boulevard
Their eyes are blind
They cry so hard
How can you congratulate the people who destroyed
the piece of mind the silly people just like you and better too?
How can they keep turning when the overture is burning
on the faces of the people in the churches of the land?
That's
all it seems
There is only one dream
The day has come at last
That's
all it seems
There is only one dream
The day has come at last
What
you have done
Makes me ashamed
I'll blow it up and start again
How can you congratulate the people who destroyed
the piece of mind the silly people just like you and better too?
How can they keep turning when the overture is burning
on the faces of the people in the churches of the land?
That's
all it seems
There is only one dream
The day has come at last
WHEN ALICE COMES BACK TO THE
FARM (Roy Wood)
Jenny
had a bawl at me the other night
She threw it up and drove away
So I made a call completely out of sight
Need to put it right today
When
Alice comes back to the farm
I won't be in the cold tonight
When Alice comes back to the farm
You know it's gonna be alright
Gimme
an appointment
Put me in the light
That's a taste of what she needs
Such a disappointment
Daddy's in the right
Time for tearing out the weeds
When
Alice comes back to the farm
You won't be in the cold tonight
When Alice comes back to the farm
You know it's gonna be alright
Relax
now baby
That woman won't pass my door
I believe, I believe
That woman won't pass my door
She won't get raising no alarm
Don't get around much anymore

OPEN UP SAID THE WORLD AT THE DOOR (Jeff
Lynne)
Can
you believe
No one has called anymore
Since the ball that was thrown in the spring
Brother beware
Nobody dare anymore
Since the days back when balls were the thing
Open
up said the world at the door
Swimming
around
Out in the hole
In the ground
Till she finds what she lost years ago
In a nightdress
Dirty old vest
She never rests
But the old folks at home never know
Open
up said the world at the door
One
to the heart
Yes it's a part of the tale
And the feeling that's being within
Brother beware
Nobody dare anymore
Since the days back when balls were the thing
Open
up said the world at the door
BRONTOSAURUS (Roy
Wood)
Well
her sister used to hate it
So I never thought she'd make it
But she threw you all
Supposing in a spangle wrapper
She
will let you stroke her head
But if you move away you're dead
She'll just break you up
Before you realise it's happened
But
she can really do the Brontosaurus
And she can scream the Heeby Jeeby for us
Until you know what she's really got
Cos she can do it loud
But she can really do the Brontosaurus
And she can scream the Heeby Jeeby for us
Well I know she can really rock
So do it do it now
Do
it do it do it!
Now
her daddy's getting old
And he seemed to lose control
When the Brontosaurus stormed into the house to trap her
Well her sister used to hate it
So I never thought she'd make it
Until she shook you up
Exactly like a firecracker
But
she can really do the Brontosaurus
And she can scream the Heeby Jeeby for us
Until you know what she's really got
Cos she can do it loud
But she can really do the Brontosaurus
And she can scream the Heeby Jeeby for us
Well I know she can really rock
So do it do it now
Do
it do it do it!
Well
she can really do the Brontosaurus
And she can scream the Heeby Jeeby for us
Until you know what she's really got
Cos she can do it
Well she can really do the Brontosaurus
And she can scream the Heeby Jeeby for us
Until she knows what she's really got
Cos she can do it
Well
she can really do the Brontosaurus
Well she can really do the Brontosaurus
Well she can really do the Brontosaurus
Yeah!
FEEL TOO GOOD
(Roy Wood)
She's
got me stolen
So you wonder why
Man I was rolling
She has all I got
Feel
too good
(Feel too good)
What can you do
(What can you do, what can you do)
Can't seem to control myself
So how can I talk to you?
Left
her in the garden
Taking a stairway home
Something hit me harder
Hits me like a stone
Feel
too good
(Feel too good)
What can you do
(What can you do, what can you do)
Can't seem to control myself
So how can I talk to you?
If
it should be questioned
I can feel the heat
Man her reflection
Stops you in the street
Feel
too good
What can you do
Can't seem to control myself
So how can I talk to you?
(Feel
too good)
I feel too good
(What can you do)
What can you do, what can you do
(Can't seem to control myself)
So how can I talk to you
Feel
too good
(Feel too good)
What can you do
(What can you do, what can you do)
Can't seem to control myself
So how can I talk to you?
I
feel too good
Feel too good
I feel too good
What can you do?
LIGHTNIN' NEVER STRIKES TWICE
(Rick Price / Mike Tyler)
Let
the wind blow you out of my memory
Let the rain wash you out of my eyes
Too many bad times loving you
Now I gotta realise
That I can throw you right out of my mind
And put you right back in your place
Cos lightnin' never strikes twice in the same place
I
can live without loving you
Carry on in the same old way
Do anything that I wanna do
Say what I wanna say
Cos I can throw you right out of my mind
And put you right back in your place
Cos lightnin' never strikes twice in the same place
Lightnin'
strike
Lightnin' strike
Your
kind of woman just drags me down
Wanna put on a ball and chain
I was king till you took my crown
I wanna win it back again
Cos I can throw you right out of my mind
And put you right back in your place
Cos lightn; never strikes twice in the same place
Lightnin'
strike
Lightnin' strike

Ohhh, it's big innit
