Шестой альбом ELO, который назывался “A New World Record”, вошел в первую десятку хит-парада Британии. Он включал в себя хиты “Livin' Thing”, “Telephone Line”, “Rockaria!” и “Do Ya”.
В течение года после выхода альбома было продано пять миллионов пластинок по всему миру. На обложке “A New World Record” впервые появился знаменитый логотип ELO, который был создан британским дизайнером Джоном Кошем.
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 kings and queens 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 nothin' like you.
[Chorus]
Do ya want my love
Do ya want my face
Do ya want my mind
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 preacher bangin' on the drums
And I heard the police playin' with their guns
But I never heard nothing 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]
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]
