La Storia




I componenti
- Bob Dylan (Lucky o Boo'),
che secondo una parte della critica ha in questo
gruppo prodotto alcuni dei suoi brani migliori... il
resto è tutto sul nostro
sito.
- Jeff Lynne è nato
nel 1947 a Birmingham. Agli inizi della carriera
suonò in vari gruppi della sua città tra
cui The Idle Race, con lo stesso
Jeff come front-man; con loro pubblicò due singoli.
Nel 1970 lasciò The
Move, accettando l'invito di Ron Wood, che gli promise
di lanciare un nuovo
progetto, chiamato Electric Light Orchestra. La loro
idea era quella di
creare un rock sinfonico partendo da un ensamble con
cello, violino, corno
francese e altri strumenti. Con la ELO pubblicò
ELO (1971), ELO II (1972) e
On The Third Day (1973), che rappresentavano l'inizio
di una musica
sperimentale, ma la nuova direzione la prese con Eldorado
(1974) che definì le
caratteristiche del gruppo. Con Face The Music (1975)
ci fu l'esplosione
mondiale del singolo Evil Woman e poi successivamente
con l'album Discovery che conquitò la posizione n.1 nelle charts.
Nel 1986 sciolse la ELO a seguito di numerosi concerti e si dedicò
alla produzione di vari album. Nel
1995 seguì la produzione di The Beatles Anthology.
- George Harrison, ex chitarrista
dei Beatles, è nato nel 1943, ha debuttato
con i Quarrymen insieme ai futuri Beatles e dopo lo scioglimento
dei Beatles
si è dedicato alla carriera solista. Di ottima
fattura è il primo solo-album
All Thing Must Pass con una canzone scritta con Dylan,
I'd you have any time
e la cover dello stesso Dylan, If not for you. Importantissima
è l'organizzazione del concerto per il Bangladesh
in cui suonò anche Bob. In
questa band trova un'importante dimensione da solista.
- Tom Petty, cantautore
anni 70, autore in passato di splendidi brani tra
cui American Girl e The Waiting.
- Roy Orbison, era un famosissimo
cantante americano originario del Texas.
Agli inizi della sua carriera registrò singoli
pubblicati solo nella sua
zona. In seguito, invitato da Johnny Cash ad inviare
una copia della canzone
Ooby Dooby alla Sun Record fondata da Sem Phillips, entrò
nel mondo della
musica con un grande Hit single, ripreso poi anche dai
Creedence Clearwater
Revival. Tra il 1960 e il 1964 conobbe il massimo successo
anche con il
singolo Oh Pretty Woman, che raggiunse le massime posizioni
nelle charts
americane. Discreti successi li ebbe con il passaggio
alla Virgin, e nel
1987 fu inserito nella Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
Successivamente Orbison
portò in tv un suo concerto, Orbison And Friends
con Tom Waits, Kd Lang,
Spingsteen, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Riatt e Jackson Browne.
Roy è deceduto a
seguito di un attacco cardiaco nel 1988. Nel 1989 fu
pubblicato postumo
Mystery Girl che divenne l'album più venduto della
sua carriera. I
successivi successi furono due top ten-hits, You Got
It (scritta con i
Wilburys Petty e Lynne) e I Drove All Night pubblicati
nel 1992 dalla Virgin
nella raccolta King Of Hearts.

promotional videos
Tracklist: Handle With Care, End Of The Line, She's My
Baby, Wilbury Twist,
Inside Out, Nobody's Child
NOTE: Assolutamente imperdibile,
ogni video è caratterizzato da un atmosfera
particolare in cui si nota chiaramente come il quintetto
e poi il quartetto
si divertano moltissimo a suonare insieme. Particolarmente
riuscito quello
di Nobody's Child, che mescola toccanti immagini dei
bambini rumeni con
alcune caricature dei Wilburys.
I TESTI DELLE CANZONI
Handle with care
Been beat up and battered around
Been set up and I've been shot
down
You're the best thing that I ever
found
Handle me with care
Reputations changable,
situations tolerable
But baby you're adorable
Handle me with care
I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really
care
Everybody's got somebody to lean
on
Put your body next to mine and
dream on
I've been fobbed off and I've been
fooled ,
I've been robbed and ridiculed
In daycare centers and night schools
Handle me with care
Been stuck in airports terrorized,
Sent to meetings hypnotized
Overexposed cornmercialized
Handle me with care
Everybody's got somebody to lean
on
Put your body next to mine and
dream on
I've been uptight and made a mess
But I'll clean it up myself I guess
Oh the sweet smell of success
Handle me with care
DIRTY WORLD
words and music Bob Dylan
He love your sexy body, he loves your dirty mind
He loves when you hold him when you grab him from
behind
Oh baby, you're such a pretty thing
I can't wait to introduce you to the other members
of my gang
You don't need no wax job, you're smooth enough
for me
If you need you oil changed I'll do it for you
free
Oh baby, the pleasure would be all mine
If you let me drive your pickup truck and park
it where the sun don't shine
Every time he touches you his hair stands up on
end
His legs begin to quiver and his mind begins to
bend
Oh baby, you're such a tasty treat
But I'm under doctor's orders, I'm afraid to overeat
He love your sense of humor, your disposition too
There's absolutely nothing that he don't love about
you
Oh baby, I'm on my hands and knees
Life would be so simple if I only had you to please
Oh baby, turn around and say goodbye
You go to the airport now and I'm going home to
cry
He loves your...

Last Night
She was there at the bar, she
heard my guitar
She was long and talI, she was
the queen of them aIl
Last night, thinking about last
night
Last night, thinking about Iast
night
Sbe was dark and discreet, she
was light on ber feet
We went up to her room and she
lowered the boom
Last night, thinking about last
night
Last night, thinking about last
night
Down below they danced and sang
in the street
While up above the walls were
stearning with heat
Last night, thinking about last
night
Last night, thinking about last
night
I was feeling no pain, feeling
good in rny brain
I looked in her eyes, they were
full or surprise
Last night, talking about last
night
Last night, talking about last
night
I asked her to marry me she srniled
and pulled out a knife
The party's just beginning she
said, it's your money or your life
Last night, talking about Iast
night
Last night, talking about last
night
Now I'm back at the bar, she
went a little too far
She done me wrong, ali I got
is this song
Last night, thinking about last
night
Last night, thinking about last
night
You always said that I'd be back again
That I'd come running to you in the end
I thought that you were on your own
And now I find you're not alone
I'll see you through the rain
Through the heartache and pain
It hurts like never before
You're not alone any more
You always said that I would know someday
Just haw it feels when your love walks away
I let you down I let you go
I lost you, how was I to know
I never knew I could feel this way
I never could see past yesterday
You feel that everything is gone
I feel it too, you're not alone
Congratulations for breaking my heart
Congratulations for tearing it all apart
Congratulations you finally did succeed
Congratulations for leaving me in need
This morning I looked out my window and found
A bluebird singing but there was no one around
At night I lay alone in my bed
With an image of you goin' around in my head
Congratulations for bringing me down
Congratulations now I'm sorrow bound
Congratulations you got a good deal
Congratulations how good you must feel
I guess that I must have loved you more than I ever knew
My would is empty now cause it don't have you
And if I had just one more chance to wind your heart
again
I would do things differently but what's the use to pretend
Congratulations for making me wait
Congratulations now it's too late
Congratulations you came out on top
Congratulations you never did know when to stop
I've wandered around with nothing more than time
on my hands
I was lost in the night with no sight of you
And at times it was so blue and lonely
Heading for the light
Been close to the edge, hanging by my fingernails
I've rolled and I've tumbled through the roses
and the thorns
And I couldn't see the sign that warned me, I'm
Heading for the light
Ooh - I didn't see that big black cloud hanging
over me
And when the rain came down I was nearly drowned
I didn't know the mess I was in
My shoes are wearing out from walking down this
same highway
I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change
And I get the strangest feeling, as I'm
Heading for the light
Ooh - my hands were tired
Jokers and fools on either side
But still I kept on till the worst had gone
Now I see the hole I was in
My shoes are wearing out from walking down this
same highway
I don't see nothing new but I feeI a Iot of change
And I get the strangest feeling, as I'm
Heading for the light
I see the sun ahead, I ain't never looking back
All the dreams are coming true as I think of
you
Now there's nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light
Now there's nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light
Margarita, ah
Margarita, ah
Ooh
It was in Pittsburgh late one night
I lost my hat, got into a fight
I rolled and tumbled till I saw the light
Went to the big apple, took a bite
StilI the sun went down your way
Down from the blue into the gray
Where I stood I saw you walk away
You danced away
I asked her what we're gonna do tonight
She said "Cahuenga Langa-Langa-Shoe Box Soup"
We better keep tryin' till we get it right
Tala mala sheela jaipur dhoop
She wrote a long letter on short piece of paper
Margarita, ah
Margarita, ah
Ooh
Tweeter and the Monkey Man were
hard up far cash
They stayed up all night selling
cocaine and hash
To an undercover cop who had
a sister named Jan
For reasons unexplained she
loved the Mankey Man
Tweeter was a boy scout before
she went to Vietnam
And found out the hard way nobody
gives a damn
They knew that they found freedom
just across the Jersey Line
So they hopped into a stolen
car took Highway 99
And the walls came down all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
The undercover cop never liked the Monkey Man
Even back in childhood he wanted to see him in the
can
Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named Bill
She made secret calls to the Monkey Man from a mansion
on the hill
It was out on thunder road - Tweeter at the wheel
They crashed into paradise - they could hear them
tires squeal
The undercover cop pulled up and said "Everyone of
you's a liar
If you don't surrender now it's gonna go down to the
wire
And the walls came down all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
An ambulance rolled up - a state
trooper close behind
Tweeter took his gun away and
messed up his mind
The undercover cop was left
tied up to a tree
Near the souvenir stand by the
old abandoned factory
Next day the undercover cop
was hot in pursuit
he was taking the whole thing
personal
he didn't care about the loot
Jan had told him many times
it was you to me who taught
In Jersey anything's legal as
long as you don't get caught
And the walls came down all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
Someplace by Rahway prison they
ran out of gas
The undercover cop had cornered
them said "Boy, you didn't think that this could last"
Jan jumped out of bed said "There's
someplace I gotta go"
She took a gun out of the drawer
and said "It's best if you dont' know"
The undercover cop was found
face down in a field
The monkey man was on the river
bridge using Tweeter as a shield
Jan said to the Monkey Man "I'm
not fooled by Tweeter's curl
I knew him long before he ever
became a Jersey girl"
And the walls came down all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
Now the town of Jersey City is
quieting down again
I'm sitting in a gambling club
called the Lion's Den
The TV set been blown up, every
bit of it is gone
Ever since the nightly news
show that the Monkey Man was on
I guess l'Il go to Florida and
get myself some sun
Tbere ain't no more opportunity
here, everything's been done
Sometime I think of Tweeter,
sometime I think of Jan
Sometime I don't think about
nothing but the Monkey Man
And the walls came down all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you Iive the life you please
Well it's all right, doing the best you can
Well it's all right, as long as you lend a hand
You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring
Waiting for someone to tell you everything
Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring
Maybe a diamond ring
Well it's all right, even if they say you're wrong
Well it's all right, sometimes you gotta be strong
Well it's all right, As long as you got somewhere to
lay
Well it's all right, everyday is just one day
Maybe somewhere down the road aways
You'll think of me, wonder where I am these days
Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays Purple
haze
Well it's all right, even when push comes to shove
W elI it's all right, if you got someone to love
Well it's alI right, everything'll work out fine
W elI it's alI right, we're going to the end
of the line
Don't have to be ashamed of the car I drive
I'm glad to be here, happy to be alive
It don't matter if you're by my side
I'm satisfied
Well it's all right, even if you're old and grey
Well it's all right, you stilI got something to say
Well it's all right, remember to live and let live
Well it's all right, the best you can do is forgive
Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, even if the sun don't shine
Well it's all right, we're going to the end
of the line

Look out your window
That grass ain't green
It's kinda yellow
See what I mean?
Look up your chimney
The sky ain't blue
It's kinda yellow
You know it's true
It's so hard to figure what it's all about
When your outside's in (inside out)
And your downside's up (upside down)
Yeah, your upside's right (rightside up )
Yeah, don't it make you wanna twist & shout
When you're inside out
Look down your drain pipe
What color do you see?
It's got to be yellow
Don't try to fool me
And don't it make you wanna twist and shout
When your outside's in (inside out)
And your downside's up (upside down)
Yeah, your upside's right (rightside up )
Yeah, don't it make you wanna twist &

When you're inside out

You might step in something rough
Be careful where you're talking
And saying all that stuff
Take care when you are breathing
Something's funny in the air
And some things I'm not saying
Bout what's happening out there
It's inside out
Look into the future
With your mystic crystal ball
See if it ain't yellow
See if it's there at all
Ain't no shadow or doubt
Don't it make you wanna twist and shout
When your outside's in (inside out)
And your downside's up (upside down)
Yeah, your upside's right (rightside up )
Yeah, don't it make you wanna twist
& shout
When you're inside out
If
You Belonged To Me
Waltzing round the room tonight
In someone else's clothes
You're always coming out of things
Smelling like a rose
You hang your head and your heart is filled with so much
misery
You'd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me
You say let's go to the rodeo
And see some cowboy fall
Sometimes it seems to me you've
Got no sympathy at all
You keep on going on and on about how you're so free
You'd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me
It ain't easy to get to you
But there must be some kind of a way
If only two could look to you
For only one moment of each day
You're saying that you're all washed up
Got nothing else to give
Seems like you would've figured out
How long you have to live
You could feel like a baby again sitting on your daddy's
knee
Oh how happy you could be
If you belonged to me
The guy you're with is a ruthless
pimp
Everybody knows
Every cent he takes from you
Goes straight up bis nose
You look so sad, you're going so
mad, any fool can see
You'd be happy as you could be
If you belong to me
While you're strolling down the
fairway
Showing no remorse
Glowing from the poisons
They've sprayed on your golf course
While you're busy sinking birdies
And keeping your scorecard
The devil's
been busy in your back yard
Steaming down the highway
With your trucks of toxic waste
Where you gonna hide it
In the outer space?
You don't know what you're doing
Or what you have to guard
Thedevil's
been busy in your back yard
Sometimes you think you're crazy
But you know your'only mad
Sometimes your better off not knowing
How much
you've been mad
You see your second cousin
Wasted in a fight
You say he had it corning
He couldn't do it right
You're in a western movie, playing
the part
The devil's
been busy in your back yard
Sometimes they say you're wicked
But you know that can't be bad
Sometimes you're better off not
knowing
It'll only make you sad
They're coming down picadilly
Dripping at the dash
Arresting Sticky Willy
Clubbing him with their casb
They just might not have noticed,
they've been beating him so hard
The devil's
been busy in your back yard
7 deadly sins
That's how the world begins
Watch out when you step in
for 7 deadly sins
7 deadly sins
that's when the song begins
(7 deadly sins)
(sin number one) was when
you left me
(sin number two) you
said
goodbye
(sin number three) was
when you told me a little white 1ie
7 deadly sins
Once it starts, it never ends
Watch out around the bend
(7 deadly sins)
(sin number four) was
when you looked my way
(sin number five) was
when you smiled
(sin number six) was
when you let me stay
Sin number seven
Was when you touched me and told me why
7 deadly sins
So many rules to bend
Time and time again
7 deadly sins

Where Were You Last Night?
Where were you last night?
You were so uptight
What did you do, who did you see?
Were you with someone
Who reminded you of me?
Where were you last night?
Where were you last week?
Were you up a creek?
Did you stay up pacing the floor?
Got me worried
You ignore me more and more
Where were you last night?
You weren't around me
When they found me
Where were you last night?
You better stop your messin around
Your name is going round from town to town
It's making me sad
Making me fell bad
Where were you last night?
Where were you last year?
You sure as hell weren't here
You weren't waiting where you said
You sen someone in your place instead
Where were you last night?
It's getting to me
Making me gloomy
Where were you last night?
Cool dry place
Well I woke up this morning
The place was such a wreck
I couldn't reach the bathroom
Thought I'd better clear the deck
I tried to call the lawyer
And ask him what to do
He referred me to his doctor
Who referred me back to you
And when you checked the manual
You kept inside the case
It said put it in a cool dry
place
I drove around the city
Looking for a room
That was high above the water
Where my things could be in tune
There was noone to help me
Nobody even cared
I had to got through hell
To get those things up there
I paid my first subscription
Then I joined the idle race
and they said "store it in a cool dry
piace"
I got guitar, basses, amplifiers and drums
Accordions and Mandolins and things that sometimes hum
Cymbals and Harmonicas, capos by the score
And lots of things in boxes laying all around the floor
Some places they get mildew
And others get too hot
Some places are so damp that
Everything you got just rots
All kinds of condensation
Direct result of rain
There's not much compensation
When everything's been stained
Some have sentimental value that
Cannot be erased
Go store in a cool dry
place
IWe got soIids and acoustics
And some from flowered board
And some are trimmed in leather
And some are made with gourds
There's organs and trombones
And reverbs we can use
Lots of dx-7s
And old athletic shoes
I bought a great big building
It took up one whole block
I made an inventory
Of all the things in stock
The place was getting longer
I was up all night
I used up alI my pencils
But I went on despite
The blurring of my vision
The sweat upon my face
I've got to put this stuff away
I mustn't leave a trace
The landlord's breathing down my neck
He says it's a disgrace
So I said "put it in a cool,
dry,
place"
I don't want nothing
Nothing but you
And I'm waiting
Looking for a new blue moon
I'm so tired waiting
Waiting for you
And I'm waiting
Looking for a new blue moon
So many moons have come and gone
And none of them were blue
So many times the sun came up but
Came up without you, you, ya yoo hoo oo
You won't call me
Call me lonely
Am I waiting
Looking for a new blue moon
So many moons have come and gone
And none of them were blue
So many times the sun came up but
Came up without you, you, ya yoo hoo oo
Someday when you want me
Someday you may see
I was waiting
Looking for a new blue moon
I was waiting
Looking for a new blue moon
Blue Moon
You took my breath away
Now I want it back again
Look at the mess I'm in
I don't know what to say,
I don't know how to feel
You don't care anyway
All I can do is wait
You took my breath away
You took this song of mine,
And changed the middle bit
It used to sound alright
But now the words don't fit
It's getting hard to rhyrne
Impossible to play
I've tried it many times
You took my breath away
One day when the sun is shining
There will be that silver lining
You knocked my headlights out
So turn them on again
I can't see where I'm going
I can't tell where I've been
I don't know how to feel
This hasn't been my day
Seems like I've lost a wheel
You took my breath away
You took my breath away
You took my breath away
You took my breath away
Put your hand on your head
Put your foot in the air
Then you hop around the room
In your underwear
Ain't never been nothin' quite like this
Come on baby, do the Wilbury Twist!
Lift your other foot up
Fall on your ass
Get back up
Put your teeth in a glass
Ain't never been nothin' quite like this
It's a magical thing called the Wilbury Twist!
Roll up your rug,
Dust your broom
Ball the jack,
Howl at the moon
Ain't never been nothin' quite like this
Everybody's trying to do the Wilbury Twist!
Turn your lights down low,
Put your blindfold on,
You'll never know where
your friends have gone
Could be years before you're missed
Everybody's trying to do the Wilbury Twist
It's a different dance for you to do
Spin your body like a screw!
Better not forget it on your shopping list,
You can stop and buy one,
IT'S THE WILBURY TWIST
