Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)

Balance of Power

Comprarlo

Oh, I know it´s strange,
But I think that it´s about to change
So I´ll take the chance
To get back into the straight again

CHORUS
Heaven only knows, I´m really on the level
Heaven only knows, I´m trying to find a way
Heaven only knows, I´m walking down the straight and lonely road today
(Again...)

(Heaven only knows...)

Now the sun will shine
And I´m gonna work it out this time
And before the light
All I gotta take is one more night

REPEAT CHORUS

Heaven only knows, heaven only knows
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows
Heaven only knows

(Heaven only knows)

As the hours go by
I can only wonder why
You can change your mind
But you never change the price

REPEAT CHORUS

Heaven only knows, heaven only knows
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows


So Serious
Night after night,
I try to make it all fit together
Night after night,
I see you as someone I remember
You took me by surprise,
Opened up my eyes
Now we gotta talk this over

CHORUS
Can it really be so serious,
To be all broken up and delirious
I guess we´ve really been out of touch,
But can it really be so serious
(Serious, so serious)

Day after day,
I know it´s not the way that you wanted it
Day after day,
I try to find the key, but it don´t fit
But you know how it is,
No matter what I did
We gotta talk it over

REPEAT CHORUS

Tonight, tonight,
I´m thinking over everything you said to me
Tonight, tonight,
I´m sorry, but I just didn´t see
And now it´s up to you,
There´s nothing else to do
We´ve gotta talk it over

REPEAT CHORUS

Serious, so serious
Is it so serious?
Serious, so serious


Getting to the Point
It´s out of control (out of control),
And there´s nothing I can do now
Out of control (out of control),
Spinning softly through the blue now
And look beyond these walls
As the meaning starts to dawn
It´s getting to the point,
Getting to the point

It´s out of control, nothing I can do
Like a fire that keeps on burning
And nobody knows, what I´m going through
And the thoughts just keep returning
And all you had to say,
Was that you were gonna stay
It´s getting to the point,
Getting to the point

CHORUS
It´s getting to the point where nobody can stop it now
It´s getting to the point of no return
And all that I can do is stand and watch it now
Watch it burn, burn, burn
It´s getting to the point where reasons are forgotten
It´s getting to the point where no one knows
And all that I can do is say I´m sorry,
But that´s the way it goes,
It´s getting to the point

Forever is a long, long way
Forever takes your breath away
I´d like to talk about it, try to understand
It´s getting to the point,
Getting to the point

REPEAT CHORUS

It´s getting to the point (getting to the point)
Getting to the point (getting to the point)
It´s getting to the point (getting to the point)
Getting to the point


Secret Lives
I don´t know, I don´t know what´s on your mind
I thought everything was fine, but it was my surprise
I don´t know, I don´t know what´s going on
Something surely must be wrong, you´re living secret lives

CHORUS
Living secret lives, secret lives
And I wonder where she goes to in the night
In secret lives

Wish I knew, wish I knew where I fit in
Wish that I knew everything about your secret lives
If it means, if it means that much to you
I don´t want to stop the things you do, I don´t need alibis

REPEAT CHORUS

I don´t care, I don´t care what goes on there
So long as one day I can share, share your secret lives


Is It Alright
Dear Jo, don´t know where to begin so I´ll just say hello
Dear Jo, is it so much better now you´re on your own
(Is it alright) You never believed in yourself
(Is it alright) Now that you´re free does it help

CHORUS
Is it alright, now that you´ve got what you want
And is it alright, now that you´re back where you belong

Dear Jo, are you livin´ it up every place you go
Dear Jo, if you´re havin´ a hard time it sure don´t show
(Is it alright) You couldn´t hold on in your mind
(Is it alright) Now is it ok, is it fine

REPEAT CHORUS

Dear Jo, can you believe that it´s been so long
Dear Jo, just thought I´d write and let you know
(Is it alright) You never believed in yourself
(Is it alright) But now that you´re free does it help

REPEAT CHORUS

Is it alright
Is it alright with you
Is it alright
Is it alright with you


Sorrow About to Fall
There´s a silence in the city,
There´s nobody around
And everyone that we knew
Moved to higher ground

There´s a shadow hanging overhead,
It lingers there alone
Changing all we ever knew,
The changes start to show

CHORUS
There´s a sorrow about to fall
There´s a sorrow about to fall

There´s a new sound in the wires,
And ears are to the ground
And everything that once was ours
Has slowly turned around

Something happened to the seasons,
Started falling with the rain
And something changed forever,
We gotta find a way

REPEAT CHORUS

There´s people in the photographs,
But they all had to run
They went away to somewhere,
Beyond the setting sun


Without Someone
I watch the cars move,
I watch the lights up on the window
I walk along the street,
I´m only thinking of you
I watch the clock staring from the wall,
It hardly moves at all
It´s you I´m waiting for

CHORUS
Without someone I can depend on
I´m lost without someone
As I go on, I hope you´re remembering
I´m lost without someone

All alone, no one around,
I watch the shadows falling faster
The city lights begin to glow
And then I start to realize
I count the hours as they slip away
Into another day
Wondering where you´ll stay

REPEAT CHORUS

Still watching the cars move,
Still watching the lights upon the window
I´m walking down the street,
I´m only thinking of you
I hear the night as it calls to me,
It plays a symphony
It says you´re gone from me


Calling America
Somebody told her that there was a place like heaven
Across the water on a seven forty seven
Yeah, we´re living in, in a modern world

And pretty soon she´s really got the notion
Of flying out across the big blue ocean
Yeah, we´re living in, in a modern world

Talk is cheap on satellite,
But all I get is static
Information, I´m still here,
Re-dial on automatic

CHORUS
Calling America, can´t get a message through
Calling America, that´s what she said to do
Calling America, that´s where she has to be
Calling America, she left a number for me
Calling America

But I´m just talking to a satellite
Twenty thousand miles up in the sky each night
Yeah, we´re living in, in a modern world

All I had to do was pick up the phone
I´m out in space trying to talk to someone
Yeah, we´re living in, in a modern world

She left a number I could call
But no one´s there, no one at all
There must be something going wrong
That number just rings on and on

REPEAT CHORUS

Said she´d call when she´d been gone a while
Guess she´s missing me across the miles
Yeah, we´re living in, in a modern world

REPEAT CHORUS

Calling America, Calling America
Calling America, Calling America


Endless Lies
Bye bye, pretty woman, I´ve got to leave you now
I find you never really cared

CHORUS
Stand back, take a look at you,
You couldn´t care if you wanted to
You keep saying it´s gonna change,
But every time it comes back again
It´s a merry-go-round

Endless lies shine in your eyes

It´s alright, count to ten, it will all be better then
It´s alright, the world will go away

REPEAT CHORUS

Endless lies, I can see it in your eyes
The heartbreak is, if you could only see
That´s not the way it´s supposed to be
Endless tears that flowed through the years
You take it all, and then you take some more
Then you come running back to me

Play on, pretty music, play on and on for me
Shine on, silver stars, over the sea

Endless lies, I can see it in your eyes
The heartbreak is, if you could only see
That ain´t the way that it´s supposed to be

Endless lies shine in your eyes


Send It
The sun still shines way up above
But it don´t matter now because
The dream is gone
The dream is just a memory (oh, yeah)
If you see my dream, send it back home to me

The stars still glow up in the night
But somehow, they don´t seem so bright
The dream is gone
The dream is just a memory (oh, yeah)
If you see my dream, send it back home to me

´Cos I´ve been waiting for a long, long time
Thought I´d found a way
Now I just wait for someone to call
I´m waiting for it every day

CHORUS
Send it on the wires
Send it on a plane
Send it on an express
But send it back to me again

The music plays so loud and clear
But somehow I can´t make you hear
The dream is gone
The dream is just a memory (oh, yeah)
If you see my dream, send it back home to me
