Electric Light Orchestra - Ain't It A Drag Lyrics

This song has to be a Traveling Wilburys leftover.

Love this song. Very Wilbury-esque.

Mr. Lynne every single song you belt out has such an uplift. Thanks!

Fantastico. Amo a ELO. SIGUEN SIENDO VANGUARDIA

The head vs the heart....till that happens the next time....Yes or no....

How many times can you go through the pain
Just when you think it's cool, the shit hits the fan

Tomorrow brings the same old sun, but never shone our way
Ain't it a drag babe, ain't it a drag babe, oh what a drag babe
You're telling me, you're telling me

I took the last plane out just to see the pretty view
Try to hold on to the edge, to see what you would do

Tomorrow brings the same old sun, but never shone our way
Ain't it a drag babe, ain't it a drag babe, oh what a drag babe
You're telling me, you're telling me

You go your way, and I go mine
We'll never meet, until the next time

Tomorrow brings the same old sun, but never shone our way
Ain't it a drag babe, ain't it a drag babe, oh what a drag babe
You're telling me, you're telling me

(Ain't it a drag, ain't it a drag)
Ain't it a drag (ain't it a drag)
Ain't it a drag (ain't it a drag)
Ain't it a drag (ain't it a drag)

Jeff Lynne's ELO should be include this song in their tour!!!

I just realized something he said a bad word thats a first

He says the same word in Easy Money. In fact, in Oh No Not Susan he drops an F bomb

...the Petty period.

has a Traveling Wilbury's flavor.

Нет альтернативы E.L.O. Также,как и Beatls. Так же ,как и некоторым представителем того времени арт-рока..

I had no idea this was from 2 years ago.

any new album in the works

Yes it came from Out of Nowhere

Очередной шедевр от Джеффа

The Lynne magic is all over this track, he's still got it in spades!!

How many times can you go through the thing
Just when you think it's cool, the shit hits the fan

Tomorrow brings the same old sun, but never shown our way
Ain't it a drag babe, ain't it a drag babe, oh what a drag babe
You're telling me, you're telling me

I took the last pane out just to see the pretty view
Try to hold on to the edge, to see what you would do

Tomorrow brings the same old sun, but never shown our way
Ain't it a drag babe, ain't it a drag babe, oh what a drag babe
You're telling me, you're telling me

You go your way, and I go mine
We'll never meet, until the next time

Tomorrow brings the same old sun, but never shown our way
Ain't it a drag babe, ain't it a drag babe, oh what a drag babe
You're telling me, you're telling me

(Ain't it a drag, ain't it a drag)
Ain't it a drag (ain't it a drag)
Ain't it a drag (ain't it a drag)
Ain't it a drag (ain't it a drag)

Ladies and gentlemen, domestic relationships.

Любимая песня

Best Music Video

only 17 👎. thats when you know a song is really good.

What a great song from a musical genius. It reminds me of the Traveling Wilburys. Maybe George, Tom and Roy will be singing along in Heaven. We're rapidly running out of living legends. We need you Jeff, to save us from all the modern rubbish that's out there nowadays.

This should have more views!!! Fuck you Reggaetón, Fuck you Despacito, THIS IS MUSIC! ❤

good thing femenists dont know about elo

Steven Nesfeder yeah or liberals in general

Discovery and Alone In The Universe......the best albums from ELO.........thank you for the music Jeff !!! Kind regards from Buenos Aires - Argentina

My favorite albums’ are “out of the blue” and “mr. blue sky” I know they are compilation albums but they still have “livin thing” and “mr. blue sky”

Да это просто нажать и слушать где все???????????????

Not quite vintage ELO bur better than 99% of the crap out now

What does “bur” mean

the intro is on point!

Best song

ELO is taking the first step at bringing this style of music back. Maybe soon, we'll be hearing popular songs like this again.

Only 976 likes? ¿What´s wrong with you people?

I can't decide between this song and One Step at a Time being my favorite song on this record.

I love this song!

no me canso de escucharla, me gusta

temazo de los buenos ,que continue asi

Adored Jeff Lynne for decades, so very iconic!

I agree! Обожаемый во всём мире!!!

Excelente. Tiene un poquito de Xanadú. Bueno, todo el estilo de ELO...

Not one of Jeff's best songs. I hope he didn't spend more than five minutes on it.

Jeff, we are waiting for you in Latin America.

Congratulations on the HOF nomination! Long overdue!

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction! :)

Does anyone notice the illuminati symbol at the bottom at the tv?

That's the lightbulb from the album ELO I with an eye in it

bogi1 theres also a triangle under it. Also for confused readers, the album ELO is No Answer in the US due to miscommunications

And of course the black and white floor

el corazon de Dynamo

keep moving

No Clark/Wood/Troyer/Burtnik/Bates/Huxley/Kaminski/Groucutt/Bevan (and many more), no ELO.

Dislike

@Elliott Cook Bev isn't even in The Orchestra anymore, so the only member who was a part of the original ELO is Kaminski. As fas the vocalists, I'm not sure. Probably Bates.

@chippachris I saw them some days before, and I can tell that there was Louis Clark and Kaminski + members of ELO Pt. 2 (another realy good group I'd say)

Aw, go fuck yourself.

I like this album it has “alone in the universe” which is a good song and is even close to telephone line on how good it is “ain’t it a drag” is like this album’s “mr. blue sky” or “livin’ thing”

Idiot Jeff Lynne is Electric Light Orchestra he still has Richard Tandy .All the other guys quit or some of them are dead

So much talent to this day

👌 Jeff...

Great animation. I love it. Congratulation ELO :D.Greetings,Alexandra & Pascal

Still pumping out hits after hits! Such talent!

ЕЛО! Я вас обожаю!!! Вы супер!!!!!!!!

The thing this is the upbeat disco of the Shine a little love still a good with great video

che fantastica allegria grazie , mister lynne !

AWESOME MUSIC VIDEO!!!

I hear that bit from the way life's meant to be! Love this album can't wait for it

Excuse me? Only 31k subscribers? This band is extremely underrated!

As long as you can listen to Jeff Lynne as a composer, a musician and a singer, your life will never be a drag !

How can you not get this video? The male (blue) is very logical in his thinking. The female (pink/red) thinks with her heart. They are always battling and it's a drag the relationship is getting tough. They look back and reflect when things were good and they were dancing and happy but not anymore.

This is how my relationship is but the girl is logical and I think with my heart

jdlocotxftw2002 why does everything have to be sexist can’t you just enjoy the message and not force ideas that weren’t there

I think it's ambiguous of gender anyway, I see it as the old idea that your "heart" and mind can seemingly fight each other sometimes

Is anyone else bothered about the illuminati symbol on the tv?

Entiendo muy poco de inglés, pero este tema me dice que el amor siempre gana a la razón (cerebro), gracias ELO-

Очень напоминает TRAVELING WILBURYS. Линн держит планку!

Времена TRAVELING WILBURYS...Ждёшь вступление Джорджа Харрисона. Прекрасный отсыл во временаTRAVELING WILBURYS . Вечная музыка и Вечная Память Музыкантам ( Джорджу, Рою)

I cannot stop singing this song thank you Mr Lynne

COME TO BRAZIL

+Isabelle santos and to Chile too

The intro reminds me of something by the Maverick or the Barenaked Ladies.

Отличная вещь-как и все Его JEFFA композиции

Why do people keep harping on about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? It is meaningless. The fact that they point blank refuse to have Jeff in it makes it meaningless. The man is a music genius. End of. He doesn't need pointless trinkets. The music speaks for itself. And I'm not looking for thumbs up with this post. I don't need meaningless trinkets. :)

+hereisthe news: I'm giving you a thumbs up anyway; and it's nót meaningless !!!

hereisthe news hes on it now i think as of 2017🎉

Why are they point blank refusing him?? Did he upset someone??

I don't know if that was a thing before but as of 2017 ELO is in the Hall of Fame

YO what the hell is the all seeing eye in a pyramid doing on the damn tv? anyone else notice that?

Jeff Lynne is an Alan Parsons fan ;-/

will wilson it's from one of the old ELO albums

I love all this music this is the only kind of music I like

The animation is good but it seems to be lacking a lot of detail. A bit boring, really.

2:24 what Jeff Lynne's house looks like under a black light

Ziggy Stardust No.

You still got it! I remember so long ago when I first heard and your voice. Thank you for the continued vocal output!

unexpected animation but very good

Not sure if it's a April Fools Prank or Real....

The Mechanic glad it wasnt

Why would it be April fools

Jeff is a hell of a drummer!

Love this song and this sweet video, fantastic animation indeed.
Thank you ELO for always making me feel better.

The animation is fantastic. I think this should have more views.

Why the all seeing eye and illuminati pyramid symbols on the TV.?... bizarre.

+charliebadger There is that checkerboard floor that the Freemasons hold dear as well.

Alone in the Universe, simply a fantastic album! Thanks Jeff!

I'm so confused

The animation is stunningly good.

Jeff are you going to record with Dhani Harrison anytime soon ?

Is the meaning of this song about learning to love yourself by bringing the mind & heart together as one ?

I'm pretty sure that was first degree murder, what the heart did.

Who did the animation? It's wonderful!

Animation was done by Open the Portal!

weird....

Pretty nice, good job Jeff.

Good song! But there isn't any strings so... Its not ELO

@Paul Renowden That song still has strings, re-listen friend

+Lego - Lorax Well, I've been listening to it for 30 years and I can't hear strings. Also according to Jeff Lynne, it's the first ELO song to not feature strings (hence why in the promo video, Mik etc are miming at the pianos) the drum is a tape loop and there's bass, pianos and guitars. No strings.

@Paul Renowden Well then, Thank you for your knowledge ...

+Lego - Lorax ELO ditched the strings back in the Seventies and brought out the amazing Time album (just listen to the incredibleTwilght or Here is the News - not a string in sight) So I guess what I'm trying to say is: ELO + strings and ELO - strings both = amazing!

@Nicholas Sadlier Well said!

Awesome!!!
