Track Lyrics
Above the Clouds Lyrics
[Intro: Jeff Lynne]
Oh, in the heat of the night
Yeah, when things ain't goin' right
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
You will remember me
[Verse 1: Jeff Lynne, Kelly Groucutt, both]
I came along to see your face
But the only thing I got from you
Was telling me it's fantasy
That you would always be with me
[Pre-Chorus: Jeff Lynne, Bev Bevan]
I can tell you that it's true
(I can tell you that it's true)
Oh yes, it's true
I'm waiting here, but it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
[Chorus: Jeff Lynne]
But it's alright with me
You better believe me now
[Verse 2: Jeff Lynne, Kelly Groucutt, both]
I guess it's like a mountainside
You've got to climb it to the top
Floating in a sea of dreams
The only thing that you can see
[Pre-Chorus 2: Jeff Lynne, Bev Bevan]
Is the view above the clouds
(Is the view above the clouds)
Above the clouds
I'm waiting here, but it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
[Chorus: Jeff Lynne]
Still, it's alright with me
You better believe me now
[Instrumental Outro]
Shangri-La Lyrics
[Intro]
(I'm getting out, I'm getting out)
[Verse 1]
Sitting here, waiting for
Someone calling at my door
Too bad, I'm getting out of love
[Verse 2]
What's the use of changing things?
Wonder what tomorrow brings?
Who knows? I'm getting out of love
[Chorus]
My Shangri-La has gone away
Fading like The Beatles on "Hey Jude"
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue
Doo-da-da-doo-doo-doo
[Break]
(I'm getting out, I'm getting out)
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Clouds roll by and hide the sun
Raindrops falling on everyone
So sad, I'm getting out of love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
My Shangri-La has gone away
Fading like The Beatles on "Hey Jude"
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
My Shangri-La has gone away
Fading like The Beatles on "Hey Jude" (Jude-y, baby!)
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue
[Outro 1]
I'm getting out of love
(Where is my Shangri-La?)
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-da-dey
(Where is my Shangri-La?)
I'm getting out of love
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Outro 2]
I will return
(I will return)
I will return to Shangri-La
(I will return)
I will return to Shangri-La
(I will return)
I will return to Shangri-La...
