Don't Bring Me Down by Electric Light Orchestra

You got me runnin' goin' out of my mind,

You got me thinkin' that I'm wastin' my time.

Don't bring me down, no no no no no,

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

Don't bring me down.

You wanna stay out with your fancy friends.

I'm tellin' you it's got to be the end,

Don't bring me down, no no no no no no no no,

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

Don't bring me down.

Don't bring me down, groos

Don't bring me down, groos

Don't bring me down, groos

Don't bring me down.

What happened to the girl I used to know?

You let your mind out somewhere down the road,

Don't bring me down, no no no no no,

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

Don't bring me down.

You're always talkin' 'bout your crazy nights,

One of these days you're gonna get it right.

Don't bring me down, no no no no no,

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

Don't bring me down.

Don't bring me down, groos

Don't bring me down, groos

Don't bring me down, groos

Don't bring me down.

You're lookin' good just like a snake in the grass,

One of these days you're gonna break your glass.

Don't bring me down, no no no no no no no no,

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

Don't bring me down.

You got me shakin' got me runnin' away

You got me crawlin' up to you everyday,

Don't bring me down, no no no no no,

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

Don't bring me down.

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

Don't bring me down.

Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra

I've always liked this song but it's getting big again because of the opening credits in Guardians of the Galaxy, vol. 2.

I know my mom had an ELO album back when I was a kid and this album cover looks familiar so I'm thinking it was this one.

Sun is shinin' in the sky,

There ain't a cloud in sight

It's stopped rainin'

Everybody's in a play

And don't you know

It's a beautiful new day.

Runnin' down the avenue,(Pant, Pant, Pant)

See how the sun shines brightly

In the city on the streets

Where once was pity,

Mr. Blue Sky is living here today.

[Chorus:]

Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why,

You had to hide away

For so long where did we go wrong.

Hey there Mr. Blue

We're so pleased to be with you

Look around see what you do,

Everybody smiles at you.

Hey you with the pretty face,

Welcome to the human race

A celebration Mr. Blue Sky's

Up there waitin' and today

Is the day we've waited for

[Chorus]

Mr. Blue you did it right,

But soon comes Mr. Night,

Creepin' over, now his

Hand is on your shoulder,

Never mind I'll remember you this way.

[Chorus]

Evil Woman by Electric Light Orchestra

I didn't realize how much I like ELO until I started this playlist and started grabbing songs I knew. I remember my mom having a cassette of theirs while we were growing up and I thought, who the hell is that? Orchestra music? I was young, I'm better now.

You made a fool of me,

But them broken dreams have got to end.

Hey, woman, you got the blues,

'Cause you ain't got no one else to use.

There's an open road that leads nowhere,

So just make some miles between here and there.

There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in.

You took my body and played to win.

Ha, ha, woman, it's a cryin' shame,

But you ain't got nobody else to blame.

Evil woman.

Evil woman.

Evil woman.

Evil woman.

Rolled in from another town,

Hit some gold, too hard to settle down.

But a fool and his money soon go sep'rate ways,

And you found a fool lyin' in a daze.

Ha, ha, woman, what you gonna do,

You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you.

It's so good that you're feelin' pain,

But you better get your face on board the very next train.

Evil woman.

Evil woman.

Evil woman.

Evil woman.

Evil woman, how you done me wrong,

But now you're tryin' to wail a diff'rent song.

Ha, ha, funny, how you broke me up.

You made the wine, now you drink a cup.

I came runnin' ev'ry time you cried,

Thought I saw love smilin' in your eyes.

Ha, ha, very nice to know

That you ain't got no place left to go.

Evil woman.

Evil woman.

Evil woman.

Evil woman.
