Electric Light Orchestra - Do Ya Lyrics






In this life I've seen everything I can see woman,
I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun,
And I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
I've seen old men crying at their own grave sides
And I've seen pigs all sitting watching, picture slides
But I never seen nothing like you.

[CHORUS]
Do ya do ya want my love
Do ya do ya want my face
Do ya do ya want my mind
Do ya do ya want my love

Well I, heard the crowd singin' out of tune,
As they, sat and sang Auld Lang Syne by the light of the moon
I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums,
And I heard the police playin' with their guns
But I never heard nothin' like you.

In the country where the sky touches down
On the field, she lay her down to rest
In the morning sun,
They come a'runnin' just to get a look, just to
Feel to touch her long black hair they don't give a damn

[CHORUS -- repeat]

Well I think you know what I'm trying to say woman,
That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day,
I've seen enough of the world to know,
That I've got to get it all to get it all to grow.

[CHORUS -- repeat]

    I have been listening to music for over 50 years and no band can compare to ELO

    B.... E....

    I totally agree with you!! I have seen then in concert and it's absolutely mind blowing!!!

    B.... E....

    @Roberta Crispin ..It would have been nice to go one of their concerts with you..

    B.... E....

    @Roberta Crispin..Its nice to meet someone who has the tastes

  39. F.... H....

    ELO super Band, Jeff Lynn machte geile Songs!

  40. I.... S....

    Who came here when David Dobrik put this song in his video ?

  41. N.... F....

    its the 70s, when recording was taken seriously..Jeff tweaked that guitar sound perfectly to grab the listener by the throat instantly..strings, harmonies, etc all perfect..the perfect rock tune

  42. G.... L....

    This song best illustrates how rock resembles the great symphonies of Beethoven. All of the things that make music powerful and moving are distilled down to their simplest form, and thrown at you as loud and hard as they can be played.

  43. A.... H....

    Fantastic song but Ace did it best 👉😉👉

  44. G.... ....

    Yeah, in this life yeah.

  45. E.... D....

    i LOVE LOVE LOVE ELO would go them again in a heartbeat what a GREAT show!!!

    @j b ok boomer

    X.... _....

    Could somebody please explain to me What does do you want some peas mean? I've seen it a hundred times. In these comments. But I still don't get it.

    X.... _....

    @Ron Myers look up "do ya want some peas" its a reoccurring joke from a yt channel called Sugar Pine 7

    X.... _....

    @Xeroc _ Okay, now I get it. LOL. I just looked at it. Very cute. But they could have been more imaginative with the lyrics. And I sure hope Jeff Lynne Had no problem with any copyright infringement LOL. Just kidding. And I'm surprised I've never seen this before Being a long time ELO fan.

    X.... _....

    @Ron Myers yeah it wasnt really meant to be a cover. The channel made a joke about having peas as a sponser. And then made some silly ironic song as a jingle.

    From 1972 to 1986 Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other groups in the world. 50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas and Stadiums. I just saw them this Summer of 2019 on the US and Canada Tour...( Best Concert of my life) All the reviews agree they are the best live act in the world and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius. They are in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Song Writer award ( ASCAP ) 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Long live Jeff Lynne’s ELO! Please Tour in 2020!

  74. B.... D....

    Ha, the young me used to think he said...


    "And I say, bitch, I'm sittin' here watching picture slides." Rather than "And I've seen pigs all sitting watching picture slides." Lol, just one of many instances of misheard lyrics on my part from back in the day.
