That nuclear plant exploding at the end...1983...chernobil was in 1986. Jeff warned us...time after time we never listen...never learn

Time after time, time after time
The skies are darkening they grow so dim
Strangers are meeting but it never ends
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

From far away there comes a warning sound
And no one listens but it's all around
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

Time after time, no hiding anywhere
Time after time, the visions in the air
Time after time, they come from everywhere

Time after time
Just listen to the sirens of the world
They breathe a whisper waiting for the word
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

Time after time it is the same old story
Another footstep on the trail of glory
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

Time after time, no hiding anywhere
Time after time, the visions in the air
Time after time, they come from everywhere

The beauty of the earth from way up high
Shines like a jewel upon the velvet sky
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

The skies are darkening they grow so dim
Strangers are meeting but it never ends
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

Emit retfa emit, no hiding anywhere
Emit retfa emit, no visions in the air
They come from everywhere

Traducir al español

Una y otra vez, una y otra vez
Los cielos se oscurecen, se vuelven tan turbios
Extraños se conocen pero nunca termina
Y algún día recordarán, algún día lo sabrán

Desde la distancia viene un sonido de alerta
Y nadie lo escucha pero está en todos lados
Y un día recordarán, algún día lo sabrán

Una y otra vez, no hay donde esconderse
Una y otra vez, las visiones en el aire
Una y otra vez, vienen de todas partes

Una y otra vez
Sólo escucha las sirenas del mundo
Ellas dan un susurro esperando la palabra
Y algún día recordarán, algún día lo sabrán

Una y otra vez es la misma vieja historia
Un paso más en el sendero de la gloria
Y un día recordarán, algún día lo sabrán

Una y otra vez, no hay donde esconderse
Una y otra vez, las visiones en el aire
Una y otra vez, vienen de todas partes

La belleza de la tierra desde lo alto
Brilla como una gema en el cielo terciopelo
Y algún día recordarán, algún día lo sabrán

Los cielos se oscurecen, se vuelven tan turbios
Extraños se conocen pero nunca termina
Y algún día recordarán, algún día lo sabrán

Zed arto y anu, no hay donde esconderse
Zed arto y anu, las visiones en el aire
Vienen de todas partes


Traslated from english! ;)

March. Dance. Rock. Time arfter time.

Yes. This could have been a simple pop tune like the opening track 'Secret Messages' (which is great, don't get me wrong). Just change the time signature to rock and that's it. I guess Jeff just didn't want to repeat himself. The only thing about this album I complain about, is the cover art: As an art lover of paintings, a copy-paste cover just doesn't do it for me. Elo deserved better. As far as Elo album cover art goes,  I thought it was downhill after Out of the Blue. Discovery was ok, but Time was awful. And what was Balance of Power all about? Ok, as a conclusion I shoud rip off 'Amadeus'(1984)… "My cover art is vulgar, but I assure you, my music is NOT".

1:44
ONE TWO THREE FOUR
HOPE YOU PLEASE NUT
ONE TWO THREE FOUR
HOPE YOU PLEASE NUT

its one two three four Backwoods

1234 backwards at 1.43 and time after time at 3.07 so good

I think this and Mandalay are the gratest songs of this album. MASTERPIECE

This sound is reference to Time album.

Time after time, time after time
The skies are darkening they grow so dim
Strangers are meeting but it never ends
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

(Time after time)
From far away there comes a warning sound
And no one listens but it's all around
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

[Chorus:]
Time after time, no hiding anywhere
Time after time, the visions in the air
Time after time, they come from everywhere

(Time after time)
Time after time
Just listen to the sirens of the world
They breathe a whisper waiting for the word
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

(Time after time)
Time after time it is the same old story
Another footstep on the trail of glory
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

[Chorus]

The beauty of the earth from way up high
Shines like a jewel on the velvet sky
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

The skies are darkening they grow so dim
Strangers are meeting but it never ends
And one day they'll remember, one day they will know

[Chorus]

Emit retfa emit, no hiding anywhere
Emit retfa emit, no visions in the air
They come from everywhere

Am I the only one who thinks this song is about an endless cycle of civilizational rise and decline, from the perspective of aliens observing how Earth's various civilizations keep advancing to the point where they create nuclear weapons, destroy themselves with them, and then rebuild civilization again in an endless cycle?

No, but my god, that's awfully specific and weird.

I watch a lot of "Ancient Aliens."

That's what continues to happen, for eternity.

So Gandhi comes?

Quite possibly the biggest pile of shit ever recorded by Jeff Lynne. Rarely does he get it this bad.

Fuck your opinion

That's right Jeff is truly a genius and he didn't write one bad song ever!!

No it gets worse look at balance of power that utter bull shit

What? i consider Balance of Power one of my favorites and this song is prety cool

This is a good song.

when? AFTER it happens, time AFTER time.

What I meant was the members of ELO singing in the background chorus on the song "Time After Time", not to be confused of the song of the same name by Cindi Lauper.

there are other ELO songs like that such as Midnight Blue also a song by Lou Gramm of Foreigner

Steffan Pila

Great Version of "Time After Time". The Chorus in this song should of have been better without the girls singing in it in the background. I wish Jeff Lynne would re-record this version as a Classic ELO Standard. That is something I would love to hear. Thanks!!!

"One day they'll remember, one day they will know." ..........WHEN????

The Second Coming

When it's too late.
