Electric Light Orchestra

Livin'thing

1976

Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) est un groupe de rock britannique originaire de Birmingham, animé par son leader Jeff Lynne, qui fut très populaire dans les années 1970. Influencé par les Beatles et le rock'n'roll de Chuck Berry et consorts, sa musique se voulait futuriste pour l'époque grâce à l'ajout de violons et d'effets sonores.

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin'
It's magic

CHORUS

And you, and your sweet desire,
You took me, higher and higher
It's a Livin'thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose.

Making believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day,
Moving in line when you look back in time
To your first day

CHORUS

Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream,
So let her go don't start spoiling the show
It's a bad dream
