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” 11. “I see it all so clear / The tenderness, the silent tears” - “Big Wheels” 12. My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by, from the Mission of the Sacred Heart - “Mission (A World Record)” ---
