SECRET MESSAGES
By Jet Records 1983


Secret Messages


A moving stream of information
That is floating on the wind
The secrets never end
And now they call
They sing, they play, they dance for you
From out the blue
What can you do?

The secret messages are calling to me endlessly
They call to me across the air
The messages across the atmosphere
They whisper in your ear, they call me everywhere

Where words cascade like rainbows
Tumbling from the sky
Then I'll be there, I'll be there
When messages will call to you
Their secrets all around
Without a sound, they're all around

The secret messages are calling to me endlessly
They call to me across the air
The messages across the atmosphere
They whisper in your ear, they call me everywhere

The secret messages that spill
Into the air from far away
So far away
A floating river of illusion
Running with confusion
Never gone - it goes on and on

The secret messages are calling to me endlessly
They call to me across the air
The messages across the atmosphere
They whisper in your ear, they call me everywhere


Loser Gone Wild


I don't mind the pain or the joker's cold refrain
The days pass by so slowly, I count them all again
Silence of a basement, shades all closed at noon
Lie awake for tear of strangers

Darkness comes on slowly, twilight is the ecstasy
Like a candle burning bright, shadows dance until the light
Empty room and chilling smiles
They go on for miles and miles

But in the evening when the sun goes down
Crawl from the shadows got to get into town
Where the music is playing all across the night
And every cloud disappears from sight
There goes a loser, another loser gone
There goes another, another who's alone
There goes a loser, another loser gone wild

I don't mind if violins don't play
I won't listen to them anyway
I don't care what people say
Something just can be arranged

But in the evening when the sun goes down
Crawl from the shadows got to get into town
Where the music is playing all across the night
And every cloud disappears from sight
There goes a loser, another loser gone
There goes another, another who's alone
There goes a loser, another loser gone wild

Icy fingers touching you
Silent voices calling too
What else is there to lose
I'm here but where are you?

But in the evening when the sun goes down
Crawl from the shadows got to get into town
Where the music is playing all across the night
And every cloud disappears from sight
There goes a loser, another loser gone
There goes another, another who's alone
There goes a loser, another loser gone wild.


Take Me On And On


The stars that shine so brightly
They call to me
I dream of how it might be
Somewhere far away

Take me on and on
Until the world has gone
Take me on and on

The chains that hold you
These chains will soon be gone
Sail upon the ocean
Sail back to me

Take me on and on
I see it all below
I know which way to go
I see the afterglow


Stranger


On a cold and windy morning, said good bye to my old friends
They were hanging around the corner
They will staying till the end
On the other side of midnight, I was looking for the place to stay
And one thing sure for certain
I ain't never going back again

The streetlights look so pretty, as they spread into a town
I was looking for another sundown
And my head was spinning round and round

Looking through the eyes of a stranger
Looking through the eyes of danger
Looking at the all-night dancer
Never taking all the chances

As I walked into the main street, saw a crowd across the square
And I heard a guitar playing
And I saw her standing there

Looking through the eyes of a stranger
Looking through the eyes of danger
Looking at the all-night dancer
Never taking all the chances

Distant bells they started ringing, somewhere far off in the night
And the place was full of loneliness
That disappears from sight


Letter From Spain


I read the paper this morning
I saw your photograph
You look good in the movie
It must be so much fun

Letter from Spain
From someone I once knew

I've got a letter this morning
Postmark said it was from Spain
You writing it so very strange
I guess it always was that way

Letter from Spain
From someone I once knew


Train Of Gold


I saw her there from across the street
She was dressed in black
And then she moved, she moved to a beak, like a cadillac
She rode a train, train, train, train, train of gold

She was a woman of suspicious ways
Never saw daylight
And in her room she sat and passed her days
And she creep out at night
She rode a train, train, train, train, train of gold

Train of gold, train of gold
It took me so long to find out I was wrong
Now I wait for her in the night

Look through the window saw a velvet sky
A shade of green
A violin was playing soft and sweet
Like it was a dream
She rode a train, train, train, train, train of gold

Train of gold, train of gold
I don't believe her, it just couldn't be her
I can't get it out of my mind


Rock'n'roll Is King


Listen everybody let me tell 'bout the rock'n'roll
Feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your soul
She said come along with me, to a land of make believe
She said rock'n'roll is king
She loves that rock'n'roll and she plays it all night long
That's all the ever tells me when I call her on the telephone
She says fell that jumping beat, and get up on your feet
She said rock'n'roll is king

Oh, let the guitars play
Play for me, play for me
Oh, let this song ring out
That's how it meant to be

It rolls like a train that's coming on down the track
She rolled over Beethoven and she gave Tchaikovsky back
She loves that driving beat, she goes dancing on down the street
She said rock'n'roll is king

Oh, let the guitars play
Play for me, play for me
Oh, let this song ring out
That's how it meant to be

When she comes around and I'm listening to the radio
She says you can't do that 'cos all I wanna go is rock'n'roll
Now here I'm gonna stay where the music starts to play
She said rock'n'roll is king


Bluebird


The streets, the signs are pointing all one way
But you don't realize just what they say
You may fight, you may run, you may know what you've done
It makes me feel so sad to think of what I might have had
I watch the stars, I watch the sun, now I watch for anyone
But it's only make believe

You work, you work, you work so hard and then
someone, someone will come around again
You may think it's for real, but you know how you feel
The places that I go don't feel good anymore
I see it all rainbows in fall I see her face upon my wall
But it's only make believe

Fly away, bluebird, fly away from me
To a place somewhere far across the sea
Fly away, far away, don't look back, go today
The waves that crash upon the sand
Another place, a far-off land
And everyday, I have to stay, but you are free
You could fly away
But it's only make believe


All music and lyrics by Jeff Lynne
