Memorable Electric Light Orchestra lines 1. “I’ve seen enough of the world to know / that I’ve got to get it all, to get it all to grow” - from “Do Ya” 2. “Don’t bring me down…Brrruce!” - “Don’t Bring Me Down” 3. “I met someone who looks a lot like you / She does the things you do / But she is an IBM” - “Yours Truly, 2095” 4. “You made the wine / Now you drink a cup.” - “Evil Woman” 5. All over the world, everybody got the word/Everybody everywhere is gonna feel tonight - “All Over the World” (from the Xanadu soundtrack!) 6. “My Shangri-la has gone away, Faded like the Beatles on Hey Jude” - “Shangri-La” 7. “Let it ring forevermore.”- “Telephone Line” 8. “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” - “Strange Magic” 9. And the orchestra was playing all Chuck Berry’s greatest tunes. (from “Rockaria”) 10. _“!kcab nruT !kcab nruT !kcab nruT !kcab nruT .ton si emit tub elbisrever si cisum ehT”_ - “High on Fire” The music is reversible but time is not. Turn back. Turn back. Turn back. Turn back. ---
