Jeff Lynne

"Underneath a starry sky Time was still but hours must really have rushed by I didnt realize But love was in your eyes I really should have gone But love went on and on"

"At the end of the day I have to please myself. And Ive made a record to please myself."

"A place where nobody dared to go the love that we came to know They call it Xanadu And now, open your eyes and see what we have made is real We are in Xanadu A million lights are dancing and there you are, a shooting star An everlasting world and youre here with me, eternally Xanadu"

"My Shangri-la has gone away, Faded like the Beatles on Hey Jude She seemed to drift out on the rain That came in somewhere softly from the blue."

"The love, the echoes of long ago you needed the world to know They are in Xanadu The dream that came through a million years That lived on through all the tears, it came to Xanadu"

"Midnight on the water I saw the oceans daughter Walking on a waves chicane Staring as she called my name And I cant get it out of my head No, I cant get it out of my head Now my old world is gone for dead Cos I cant get it out of my head"

"It was one of those nights One of those nights When you feel the world stop turning You were standing there There was music in the air I should have been away But I knew I had to stay"

"I like the natural sound of a room. All the rooms have their own sound, so its a matter of putting it where you like and seeing what it sounds like."

"Its a livin thing. Its a terrible thing to lose. Its a given thing. What a terrible thing to lose."
