Because you know I love you, baby
Ooh you know I love you baby, yeah
Now if I don’t love you baby, I tell you
Grits ain’t grocery
Eggs ain’t poultry
And Mona Lisa was a man
Well, I’d left home just a week before
And I’d never, ever kissed a woman before
Lola smiled and took me by the hand
She said, “Little boy, gonna make you a man”
Well I’m not the world’s most masculine man
But I know what I am and I’m glad I’m a man
And so is Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
Gliddy glub gloopy, nibby nabby noopy la, la, la, lo, lo
Sabba sibby sabba, nooby abba nabba, le, le, lo, lo
Tooby ooby walla, nooby abba naba
Early mornin’ singin’ song
Early in the morning, risin’ to the street
Light me up that cigarette and I’ll strap shoes on my feet
Got to find the reason, reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason why my money’s all gone
I got a Dalmatian and I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a motherfuckin’ riot
Early in the evenin’
Just about supper time
Over by the courthouse
They’re startin’ to unwind
Doo doo
Doo doo doo doo.
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo.
It’s suppertime.
Yeah, it’s suppertime.
Oh, it’s sup-sup suppertime very best time of day.
It’s suppertime.
Yeah, it’s sup-per time.
And when suppertime comes can supper be far away?
Precious body precious blood
Here in bread and wine
Here the Lord prepares the feast divine
Bread of love is broken now
Cup of life is poured
Come share the supper of the lord
Precious love, I’ll give it to you
Blue as the sky and deep
In the eyes of a love so true
Beautiful face, you make me feel
Light on the stairs and lost
In the air of a love so real
Then out of the blue
Love came rushing in
Out of the sky
Came the sun
Out of left field
Came a lucky day
Out of the blue
No more pain
A moving stream of information that is floating on the wind
The secrets never end
And now they call, they sing, they play
They dance for you from out of the blue
What can you do
The secret messages are calling to me endlessly
They call to me across the air
The messages across the atmosphere
They whisper in your ear, they’re calling everywhere
Secret Messages, Electric Light Orchestra
Billy is searching for his native land
Flicking through the stations with the dial in his head
Picking up [ skweeeRRRRurrrzzzt ]
And a male voice choir on the short wave band
Billy taps out Jim’s number on the 'phone
Sits shaking as he waits for Jim’s answering tone
Come on my friend, speak to me please
The land of my fathers is calling to me
And I sit in the canyon with my back to the sea
There’s a blood red dragon on a field of green
Calling me back, back to the Black Hills again
Ooh, ooh, Billy come home
Won’t you come home, Bill Bailey
Won’t you come home?
She moans the whole day long.
She told me to come, but I was already there
'Cause the walls were shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it and you
Shook me all night long
You know you shook me
You shook me all night long
You know you shook me, babe
You shook me all night long
You shook me so hard baby
Oh, baby, baby, please come home.
One little piggy went to london
One piggy went to hong kong
This little piggy’s coming over your house
I’m gonna rock you all night long
Cos i’m a hog for you baby
Everywhere there’s lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat the bacon
Why don’t you sit right back?
And I, I may tell you a tale
A tale of three little pigs
And a big
Bad
Wolf
Just sit right back
And you’ll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship
The mate was a mighty sailing man
The skipper brave and sure
Five passengers set sail that day
For a 3 hour tour, a 3 hour tour
Will there never be a prince who rides along the sea and the mountains
Scattering the sand and foam into amethyst fountains
Riding up the hills from the beach in the long summer grass
Holding the sun in his hands and shattering the isinglass
Filling up my pockets, even stuffed it up my nose
I must have weighed a hundred tons between my head and toes
I ventured forth before the dawn had time to change its mind
And soaring high above the clouds I found a golden shrine
