## lyrics

I was searchin' (searchin') on a one-way street

I was hopin' (hopin') for a chance to meet

I was waitin' for the operator on the line

What can I do?

(Where could she be?) No, no, no

Don't know what I'm gonna do

I gotta get back to you!

You gotta slow down, (slow down), sweet talkin' woman, (slow down)

You've got me runnin', (run, run), you've got me searchin'

Hold on, (hold on), sweet talkin' lover (hold on)

It's so sad if that's the way it's over

I was (walkin'), many days go by

I was thinkin' (thinkin') 'bout the lonely nights

Communication breakdown all around

What can I do?

(Where could she be now?) No, no, no

Don't know what I'm gonna do

I gotta get back to you!

You gotta slow down, (slow down), sweet talkin' woman, (slow down)

You've got me runnin', (run, run), you've got me searchin'

Hold on, (hold on), sweet talkin' lover (hold on)

It's so sad if that's the way it's over

I've been livin' (livin') on a dead end street

I've been askin' (askin' kindly) everybody I meet

Insufficient data coming through

What can I do?

(Where could she be?) No, no, no

Don't know what I'm gonna do

I gotta get back to you. No!

Slow down, (slow down), sweet talkin' woman, (slow down)

You've got me runnin', (run, run), you've got me searchin'

Hold on, (hold on), sweet talkin' Lola (hold on)

It's so sad if that's the way it's over

Slow down, (slow down), sweet talkin' woman, (slow down)

You've got me runnin', you've got me searchin'

Hold on, (oh no), sweet talkin' Lola (hold on)

It's so sad if that's the way it's over (over)

Slow down, (slow down) sweet talkin' woman (slow down)

You've got me runnin', you've got me searchin'

Oh no, (hold on) sweet talkin' Lola (oh no)

It's so sad if that's the way it's over (over)

Slow down, (slow down) sweet talkin' woman (slow down)

You've got me runnin', you've got me searchin'

NanoTrasen

Корпорация NanoTrasen является одной из величайших транс-звездных корпораций современности. В настоящее время штаб-квартира располагается в Нью-Амстердаме на Луне и возглавляется генеральным директором Джексоном Трейзеном. Она занимается исследованиями самых передовых наук, таких как генетика, блюспейс-пространство и, в последнее время, использование форона, а также массовая промышленность в поистине галактическом масштабе. У них также есть весомый Департамент по защите активов и безопасности, с помощью которого корпорация защищает как свои инвестиции, так и новые владения, что огорчает конкурентов в некоторых второстепенных звездных системах, а также мощный административный аппарат, управляющий всеми действиями компании. NanoTrasen славится своей агрессивностью и сомнительной этикой, что в сочетании с большим акцентом на инновационные, непроверенные и опасные технологии означает, что их изобретения часто являются небезопасными и ненадежными.

NanoTrasen Incorporated – транс-звездная корпорация, первоначально основанная в 2025 году человеком по имени Ксавьер Трейзен. NanoTrasen начинала как небольшая компания, деятельность которой была направлена на генетические исследования.

Корпорация эффективно применяла методы патентования, которые позволили использовать более агрессивные стратегии в развитии бизнеса. NanoTrasen выкупила и стала монополистом области благодаря этой самой политике, а не исследованиям, ведь многие второстепенные медицинские/биологические НИИ оказались в неприятном положении. К концу десятилетия NanoTrasen стала транс-звездной организацией. В переломный момент в 2049 был открыт форон. Естественно, NanoTrasen и конкуренты были первыми корпорациями, пытавшимися использовать этот ценный новый ресурс, и все они создали множество станций и предприятий вокруг фороновых гигантов, чтобы в своих интересах использовать это соединение.

Научно-исследовательские станции, корабли, оборудование и другие объекты выпускались быстрее, чем когда-либо. NanoTrasen была одной из самых кровожадных корпораций и сумела обанкротить и поглотить многие другие компании в более крупном масштабе, чем когда-либо прежде. Многие считают, что единственная ведущая способность NanoTrasen заключается в том, чтобы извлекать выгоду из тяжелой работы других - и это заявление не такое уж и вранье. Тем не менее, это только еще больше увеличило мощь и масштаб компании NT, превратив ее в настоящую суперкорпорацию, одну из 10 самых больших бизнес-империй в галактике.

Чтобы выйти на этот уровень, NT заключила контракт с Tayrell corporation, последний поставлял дешёвых репликантов, которых было не жалко отправить на убой.
Jeff Lynne

**Jeffrey Lynne** OBE (born 30 December 1947) is an English musician, singer-songwriter and record producer. He is the co-founder and leader of the rock band Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), which was formed in 1970, and as a songwriter has written most of the band's hits, including "Evil Woman", "Livin' Thing", "Telephone Line", "Mr. Blue Sky", "Don't Bring Me Down" and "Hold On Tight".

Lynne was born in Birmingham and became interested in music during his youth, being heavily inspired by the Beatles. He began his music career in 1963 as a member of the Andicaps, leaving the group a year later to join the Chads. From 1966 to 1970, Lynne was a founding member and principal songwriter for the Idle Race. In 1970, Lynne accepted Roy Wood's offer to join the Move, with Lynne contributing heavily to the band's last two albums. Later that year, Lynne and Wood disbanded the Move to form the band ELO, which was formed out of Lynne's and Wood's desire to create modern rock and pop songs with classical overtones. Following Wood's departure from ELO in 1972, Lynne assumed sole leadership of the band and wrote, arranged and produced virtually all of its subsequent records.

During the 1970s and 1980s, ELO released a string of top 10 albums and singles, including the band's most commercially successful album, the double album *Out of the Blue* (1977). Two ELO albums reached the top of British charts: the disco-inspired *Discovery* (1979) and the science fiction–themed concept album *Time* (1981). In 1986 Lynne lost interest in the band and disbanded the group. After ELO's original disbandment in 1986, Lynne released two solo albums: *Armchair Theatre* (1990) and *Long Wave* (2012). Additionally, he began producing various artists. In 1988, under the pseudonyms **Otis Wilbury** and **Clayton Wilbury**, he co-founded the supergroup Traveling Wilburys with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. Lynne co-produced the Beatles' *Anthology* reunion singles from John Lennon demos, "Free as a Bird" (1995), "Real Love" (1996), and "Now and Then" (2023). In 2014, Lynne re-formed ELO and resumed concert touring under the name "Jeff Lynne's ELO".

Lynne produced all fifteen ELO singles that rose to the Top 10 record charts in the UK. Outside of ELO, Lynne's producing credits include the UK or US Top 10 albums *Cloud Nine* (Harrison, 1987), *Mystery Girl* (Orbison, 1989), *Full Moon Fever* (Petty, 1989), *Into the Great Wide Open* (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, 1991), *Flaming Pie* (Paul McCartney, 1997) and *Get Up!* (Bryan Adams, 2015).

In 2014, Lynne received a star on the Birmingham Walk of Stars, and was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame the following year. He received three Ivor Novello Awards, including the award for Outstanding Services to British Music. In 2017, Lynne was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of ELO, and was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2020.

## Lyrics

(Somebody)

told her that there was a place like heaven

Across the water on a 747

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

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 (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

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

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

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

Calling America

Calling America

Calling America

Calling America

Calling America

Mmm, hold on tight to your dream, yeah

Hold on tight to your dream, yeah

When you see your ship go sailing

When you feel your heart is breaking

Hold on tight to your dream

Hmm, it's a long time to be gone

Oh, time just rolls on and on (hold on)

When you need a shoulder to cry on

When you get so sick of trying

Just-a hold on tight to your dream

When you get so down that you can't get up

And you want so much, but you're all out of luck

When you're so downhearted and misunderstood

Just over and over and over you go

Accroche-toi à ton rêve

Accroche-toi à ton rêve

Quand tu vois ton bateau partir

Quand tu sens ton coeur se briser

Accroche-toi à ton rêve

When you get so down that you can't get up

And you want so much, but you're all out of luck

When you're so downhearted and misunderstood

Just over and over and over you go

Yeah, hold on tight to your dream, yeah

Hold on tight to your dream, yeah

When you see the shadows falling

When you hear that cold wind calling

Hold on tight to your dream

Ooh, yeah, hold on tight to your dream

Yeah, yeah, hold on tight

To your dream

Telephone Line

Telephone Line is a 1976 song from the British rock band ELO. This would be one of there biggest hits in the US.

## Composition

The song starts with sounds made by a phone. The song is a ballad with Doo-Wap vocals. Quoting Jeff Lynne here is how they got the sound

"To get the sound on the beginning, you know, the American telephone sound, we phoned from England to America to a number that we know nobody would be at, to just listen to it for a while. On the Moog, we recreated the sound exactly by tuning the oscillators to the same notes as the ringing of the phone."

## Critical Reception

Bruce Eder of Allmusic said that "might be the best Lennon–McCartney collaboration that never was, lyrical and soaring in a way that manages to echo elements of *Revolver* and the Beatles without ever mimicking them"

## Lyrics

Hello, how are you?

Have you been alright

Through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?

That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything

If you'd pick up that telephone

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey, how're you feelin'?

Are you still the same?

Don't you realise the things we did, we did, were all for real?

Not a dream

I just can't believe they've all faded out of view

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh

I look into the sky

(The love you need ain't gonna see you through)

And I wonder why

(The little things you planned ain't coming true)

Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time

I'm living in twilight

Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time

I'm living in twilight

Okay, so no one's answering

Well, can't you just let it ring a little longer, longer, longer

Oh, I'll just sit tight

In shadows of the night

Let it ring forevermore, oh-woh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I look into the sky

(The love you need ain't gonna see you through)

And I wonder why

(The little things you planned ain't coming true)

Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time

I'm living in twilight

Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time

I'm living in twilight

Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time

I'm living in twilight

Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time

I'm living in twilight

## Lyrics

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave, it's like magic

Oh, rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin', it's magic

And you and your sweet desire

You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby)

It's a livin' thing

It's a terrible thing to lose

It's a givin' thing

What a terrible thing to lose

I'm takin' a dive

Dive

Makin' believe this is what you've conceived

From your worst day (I'm takin' a dive)

Oh, movin' in line, then you look back in time

To the first day (I'm takin', I'm takin')

And you and your sweet desire (don't you do it, don't you do it)

You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby)

It's a livin' thing

It's a terrible thing to lose

It's a givin' thing

What a terrible thing to lose

I'm takin' a dive

All the same

Hey

Takin' a dive, 'cause you can't halt the slide

Floating downstream (I'm takin' a dive)

Oh, so let her go, don't start spoiling the show

It's a bad dream (I'm takin', I'm takin')

And you and your sweet desire (don't you do it, don't you do it)

You took me, oh (higher and higher, baby)

It's a livin' thing

It's a terrible thing to lose

It's a givin' thing

What a terrible thing to lose

It's a livin' thing

It's a terrible thing to lose

It's a givin' thing

Armchair Theatre

***Armchair Theatre*** is the first solo album by Jeff Lynne, released in 1990.

The album reunited Lynne with Electric Light Orchestra's keyboard player Richard Tandy and featured fellow Traveling Wilburys member George Harrison (both Harrison and the Wilburys were signed to Warner Bros. Records, parent of Reprise Records which released this album). Lynne wrote and recorded "Now You're Gone" as a tribute to his late mother. The album also features cover versions of two classics: "September Song" and "Stormy Weather".

The songs "Every Little Thing" and "Lift Me Up" were released as singles both featuring non-album b-sides, "I'm Gone" from the former and "Borderline" and "Sirens" from the latter. Despite positive reviews the album became only a minor hit.

A remaster by Frontiers was released on 19 April 2013 in the UK, and on 23 April 2013 in the US, and included two bonus tracks, one of them being previously unreleased. Additional bonus track was included in the Japanese re-release.
10538 Overture

"**10538 Overture**" is the debut single by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), released in 1972. The song, written by Jeff Lynne, was first recorded as an intended B-side for a single by the Move, Lynne's previous group. Both Roy Wood and Lynne sang on it, as happened later with The Move's "California Man". The song is about an escaped prisoner; Lynne wanted to give the character in the song a number, as opposed to a name, and he chanced upon the number 1053 while looking at the mixing console. Wood suggested adding an "8" to fit the melody better. Although intended to be a song for The Move, after cello parts were added it became the Electric Light Orchestra's first release. It was during the single's chart run that Wood left ELO, emerging later in the year with a new band called Wizzard.
Roy Wood

**Roy Wood** (born 8 November 1946) is an English musician, singer and songwriter. He was particularly successful in the 1960s and 1970s as member and co-founder of the Move, Electric Light Orchestra and Wizzard.

Wood formed the Move in 1965, and had hits including "Flowers in the Rain". While the Move were still together, Wood, along with his band colleagues Jeff Lynne and Bev Bevan, founded Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), which was later to gain major commercial success. After increasing tensions, Wood left ELO in 1972 and formed a new group, Wizzard, who had seven hits, including Wood's most regularly broadcast song, "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday".

As a songwriter, Wood contributed a number of hits to the repertoire of The Move, ELO and Wizzard. Altogether he had more than 20 singles in the UK Singles Chart under various guises, including three UK No. 1 hits. Wood was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017 as a member of Electric Light Orchestra.
Turn To Stone

Turn To Stone is a song from the British rock band ELO. It was the lead single for there album "Out Of The Blue".

## Background

this is one of the 12 songs Jeff Lynne wrote in 2 weeks along with Mr. Blue Sky.

## Composition

As it being the first song on the album it begins with a long intro which sounds like a spaceship. It is followed by vocals from Jeff Lynne with backing vocals from Kelly Groucutt (Possibly). At the end of each verse the rock sound stops and turns into a Moog Synthesizer with string instruments as well.

## Reception

Donald A. Guarisco said that "This dymanic opener for Out Of The Blue album is good example of ELO skill for mixing string-laden pop tunes with driving rock n roll".

## Jeff Lynne version

Jeff Lynne re-recorded this song for the 2012 album "Mr. Blue Sky: The Very Best Of Electric Light Orchestra"

## Lyrics

The city streets are empty now

(The lights don't shine no more)

And so the songs are way down low

A sound that flows into my mind

(The echoes of the daylight)

Of everything that is alive

(In my blue world)

I turn to stone when you are gone

I turn to stone

I turn to stone, when you comin' home

I can't go on

The dying embers of a night

(A fire that slowly fades 'till dawn)

Still glow upon the wall so bright (turning, turning)

The tired streets that hide away

(From here to everywhere they go)

Roll past my door into the day

In my blue world

I turn to stone when you are gone

I turn to stone

I turn to stone, when you comin' home

I can't go on

Turn to stone when you are gone

I turn to stone

Yes, I'm turnin' to stone

'Cause you ain't coming home

Why ain't you comin' home

If I'm turnin' to stone

You've been gone for so long

And I can't carry on

Yes, I'm turnin', I'm turnin'

I'm turnin' to stone

The dancing shadows on the wall

(The two-step in the hall)

Are all I see since you've been gone (turning, turning)

Through all I sit here and I wait

(I turn to stone, I turn to stone)

You will return again some day

To my blue world

I turn to stone when you are gone

I turn to stone

I turn to stone, when you comin' home

I can't go on

I turn to stone when you are gone

I turn to stone

I turn to stone when you are gone

I turn to stone

Turn to stone, when you comin' home

I can't go on

I turn to stone when you are gone

I turn to stone

Electric Light Orchestra

The **Electric Light Orchestra** (**ELO**) is an English rock band formed in Birmingham in 1970 by songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood with drummer Bev Bevan. Their music is characterised by a fusion of pop and classical arrangements with futuristic iconography. After Wood's departure in 1972, Lynne became the band's sole leader, arranging and producing every album while writing nearly all of their original material. From this point until their first break-up in 1986, Lynne, Bevan, and keyboardist Richard Tandy were the group's only consistent members.

ELO was formed out of Lynne's and Wood's desire to create modern rock and pop songs with classical overtones. It derived as an offshoot of Wood's previous band, the Move, of which Lynne and Bevan were also members. During the 1970s and 1980s, ELO released a string of top 10 albums and singles, including the band's most commercially successful album, the double album *Out of the Blue* (1977). Two ELO albums reached the top of the British charts: the disco-inspired *Discovery* (1979) and the science-fiction-themed concept album *Time* (1981). In 1986 Lynne lost interest in the band and disbanded the group. Bevan responded by forming his own band, ELO Part II, which later became The Orchestra. Apart from a brief reunion in the early 2000s, ELO remained largely inactive until 2014, when Lynne re-formed the band with Tandy as **Jeff Lynne's ELO**.

During ELO's original 13-year period of active recording and touring, they sold over 50 million records worldwide. They collected 19 CRIA, 21 RIAA, and 38 BPI awards. From 1972 to 1986 ELO accumulated 27 Top 40 songs on the UK Singles Chart, and fifteen Top 20 songs on the US *Billboard* Hot 100. The band also holds the record for having the most *Billboard* Hot 100 Top 40 hits (20) without a number one. In 2017, four key members of ELO (Wood, Lynne, Bevan, and Tandy) were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

## Lyrics

The visions dancing in my mind

The early dawn, the shades of time

Twilight crawling through my windowpane

Am I awake or do I dream?

The strangest pictures I have seen

Night is day and twilight's gone away

With your head held high and your scarlet lies

You came down to me from the open skies

(It's either real or it's a dream)

(There's nothing that is in between)

Twilight

I only meant to stay a while

Twilight

I gave you time to steal my mind away from me

Across the night I saw your face (time)

You disappeared without a trace (time)

You brought me here, but can you take me back?

Inside the image of your light (time)

That now is day and once was night (time)

You leave me here and then you go away

Twilight, twilight, twilight

I gave you time to steal my mind away from me

You brought me here, but can you take me back again?

With your head held high and your scarlet lies

You came down to me from the open skies

(It's either real or it's a dream)

(There's nothing that is in between)

Twilight

I only meant to stay a while

Twilight

I gave you time to steal my mind

Twilight

I only meant to stay a while

Twilight

I only meant to stay a while

Twilight

Twilight, twilight, twilight, twilight

## Lyrics

Everywhere the sun is shinin'

All around the world it's shinin'

But cold winds blow across your mind

It's such a terrible shame

(Confusion)

You don't know what you're sayin'

(You've lost your love and you just can't carry on)

Can't carry on

(You feel there's no one there for you to lean on)

To lean on

Every night you're out there, darlin'

You're always out there runnin'

And I see that lost look in your eyes

I don't know what I should do

(Confusion)

I leave it all up to you

(You've lost your love and you just can't carry on)

Can't carry on

(You feel there's no one there for you to lean on)

To lean on

Dark is the road you wander

And as you stand there under

The starry sky - you feel sad inside

You know it's drivin' me wild

(Confusion)

It comes as no big surprise

(You've lost your love and you just can't carry on)

Can't carry on

(You feel there's no one there for you to lean on)

To lean on

It's over, it's over, it's over

Summer came and passed away

Hardly seemed to last a day, but it's over

And what can I do?

Music playin' in the air

Silence on a darkened stair 'cause it's over

And what can I do?

It's over, it's over, all over, it's all over now

And the way you looked don't even mean I'm down (It's over)

When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye

There is nothing much to speak of

Feelin' down, down (It's all over)

Feelin' down, down, down

Hey, baby, it's all over

Rolled out to sea

Lookin' over sunny days (Searchin', searchin')

Searchin' for the righteous wave 'cause it's over

(All gone, what can I do?)

Lookin' from this distant shore (Distant shore)

You ain't sailin' by no more 'cause it's over (It is over)

And what can I do?

It's over, it's over, all over, it's all over now

And the way you looked don't even mean I'm down

It's over, over (It's over)

When you kick out the sea and the sun says goodbye

There is nothing much to speak of

Feelin' down, down (It's over)

Feelin' down, down, down

Ah, it's over, it's over, it's over,

It's all over

And what can I do?

Ah, it's over, it's over, it's all over

Oh, it's over, it's over

Don't shed a tear for me, it's over

Don't shed a tear although it's over

Wish I was, yeah, a Wild West hero

[Verse 1]

Sometimes I look up high

And then I think there might

Just be a better life

Away from all we know

That's where I wanna go

Out on the wild side

And I wish I was

Oh-oh-oh-oh, a Wild West hero

[Chorus]

Ride the range all the day

Till the first fading light

Be with my western girl

Round the fire oh so bright

I'd be the Indians' friend

Let them live to be free

Ridin' into the sunset

I wish I could be

[transition music]

[Verse 2]

I'd ride the desert sands

And through the prairie lands

Tryin' to do what's right

The folks would come to me

They'd say, "We need you here."

I'd stay there for the night

Oh, I wish I was

Oh-oh-oh-oh, a Wild West hero

[Chorus]

Ride the range all the day

Till the first fading light

Be with my western girl

Round the fire oh so bright

I'd be the Indians' friend

Let them live to be free

Ridin' into the sunset

I wished I could be

[transition music]

[Bridge]

Oh, I wish I was

Oh-oh-oh-oh, a Wild West hero

I wish I was

Oh-oh-oh-oh, a Wild West hero

Oh, I wish I was

Oh-oh-oh-oh, a Wild West hero

Wish I was

Oh-oh-oh-oh, a Wild West hero

Wish I was, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, a Wild West hero
