[Music Head]

from my library



My favorite ELO album. Had to put that out there just in case we never get to a Best Album Poll for them. A concept album around the theme of a fantasy journey to escape reality. Hell, I do that every day. Their first album on which an orchestra was used rather than overdubbing. The album reached #16 on the U.S. charts with a single of Can't Get It Out Of My Head. Did not chart in the U.K. What's up with that?

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Illusions In G Major

Best Track - 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.
