There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying the stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the stairway to heaven.
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
And she's buying the stairway to heaven.
Devotees of the Rock era may agree that ELO is the most underappreciated (relative to talent) band of all time. Here are lyrics from three of their songs:
Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin' ev'rybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day hey,hey
Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mister blue sky is living here today hey, hey
Mister blue sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?
Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration, mister blue sky's up there waitin'
And today is the day we've waited for
Hey there mister blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Ev'rybody smiles at you
Mister blue sky, mister blue sky
Mister blue sky
Mister blue, you did it right
But soon comes mister night creepin' over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way
Mister blue sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there mister blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Ev'rybody smiles at you
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
You made a fool of me
But them broken dreams have got to end
Hey woman, you got the blues
Yes 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 crying 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 hot to settle down
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways
And you found that 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 feeling pain
Yes you better get your face on board the very next train
Evil woman, evil woman
Evil woman, evil woman
Evil woman, evil woman
Evil woman, evil woman
Evil woman how you done me wrong
But now you're tryin' to wail a different song
Ha ha funny how you broke me up
You made the wine now you drink the cup
I came runnin' every time you cried
Thought I saw love smilin' in your eyes
Ha ha very nice to know
That you ain't got no place well left to go
Evil woman, evil woman
Evil woman, evil woman
Evil woman, evil woman
Evil woman, evil woman
Evil woman, evil woman
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 go to be the end
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, Bruce
Don't bring me down, Bruce
Don't bring me down, Bruce
Don't bring me down
What happened to the girl, I used to known
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
[ From : http://www.elyrics.net/read/e/electric-light-orchestra-lyrics/don_t-bring-me-down-lyrics.html

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, Bruce
Don't bring me down, Bruce
Don't bring me down, Bruce
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
I'll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
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
I'll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down, down, down, down, down, down
I'll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
