Sweet Talkin' Woman

(Jeff Lynne)

I was searching on a one-way street 
I was hoping for a chance to meet 
I was waiting for the operator on the line 
(She's gone so long) What can I do? 
(Where could she be?) Don't know what I'm gonna do 
I gotta get back to you.

Slow down, sweet talking woman
You got me running ,ou got me searching
Hold on, sweet talking lover 
It's so sad if that's the way it's over .
Sweet talking woman.

I was walking, many days go by 
I was thinking, about the lonely nights 
Communication breakdown all around 
(She's gone so long) What can I do? 
(Where could she be now?) Don't know what I'm gonna do 
I gotta get back to you.

Slow down, sweet talking woman
You got me running ,ou got me searching
Hold on, sweet talking lover 
It's so sad if that's the way it's over .
Sweet talking woman.

I've been living on a dead-end street 
I've been asking everybody I meet 
Insufficient data coming through 
(She's gone so long) What can I do?
(Where could she be?) Don't know what I'm gonna do 
I gotta get back to you.

Slow down, sweet talking woman
You got me running ,ou got me searching
Hold on, sweet talking lover 
It's so sad if that's the way it's over .
Sweet talking woman.

Turn to Stone

(Jeff Lynne)

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
Turn to stone, when you coming 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.

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
Turn to stone, when you coming home? I can't go on.

I turn to stone, when you are gone I turn to stone.

Yes I'm turning to stone 'cos you ain't coming home 
Why ain't you coming home if I'm turning to stone 
You've been gone for so long and I can't carry on 
Yes, I'm turning, I'm turning I'm turning to stone.

The dancing shadows on the wall 
(The two-step in the hall) 
Are all I see since you've been gone.

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
Turn to stone, when you coming 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 coming home? I can't go on.

I turn to stone, when you are gone I turn to stone.

Calling America

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.

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.
