| 2 | The gold verandah in the dark has gone, alrightDown to the metal man, No better time to leave the ground, And maybe try to understand, You gotta hold on to somethin´ that you believe, Hold on to somethin´ that makes you feel alright, And through the darkest times of your life, You always tried to be the one, And now the times have made you wonder, If you ever knew what was going on, You gotta hold on to somethin´ that you believe, Hold on to somethin´ that makes you feel alright, Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright. (Solo) No use thinkin´ about what you ain´t got, Just makes you bitter, And as you speak everything you say, Goes out on the Big Transmitter, You gotta hold on to somethin´ that you believe, Hold on to somethin´ that makes you feel alright, Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright. | electric light orchestra |
| 3 | Everywhere the sun is shining confusionAll around the world, it´s shining But cold winds blow across your mind Confusion -- it´s such a terrible shame Confusion -- you don´t know what you´re saying You´ve lost your love and you just can´t carry on You feel there´s no one there for you to lean on. Every night you´re out there, darling You´re always out there running And I see that lost look in your eyes Confusion -- I don´t know what I should do Confusion -- I leave it all up to you You´ve lost your love and you just can´t carry on You feel there´s no one there for you to lean on. Dark is the road you wander And as you stand there under The starry sky, you feel sad inside Confusion -- you know it´s driving me wild Confusion -- it comes as no big surprise You´ve lost your love and you just can´t carry on You feel there´s no one there for you to lean on. Confusion, confusion Confusion, confusion | electric light orchestra |
| 4 | = ===== == ====== ==== the diary of horace wimpMonday:Late again,today,he´d be in trouble though he´d say he was sorry,he´d have to hurry out the bus. Tuesday:Horace was so sad,he´d never had a girl that he could care for,and if he was late once more,he´d be out.

Make a stand and be a man, And you will have a great life plan." Wednesday:Horace met a girl,she was small and she was very pretty,he thought he was in love,he was afraid.

Repeat Chorus Friday:Horace,this is it,he asks the girl if maybe they could marry,when she says "gladly." Horace cries. Sunday:Everybody´s at the church,when Horace rushes in and says "Now here come my wife, for the rest of my life." and she did. Repeat Chorus | electric light orchestra |

| 7 | Hold on tight to your dream hold on tightHold on tight to your dream When you see your ship go sailing When you feel your heart is breaking Hold tight to your dream. It´s a long time to be gone Time just rolls on and on When you need a shoulder to cry on When you get so sick of trying Just hold tight to your dream CHORUS When you get so down that you can´t get up And you want so much but you´re all out of luck When you´re so downhearted and misunderstood Just over & over & over you could Accroches-toi a ton reve Accroches-toi a ton reve Quand tu vois ton bateau partir Quand tu sents -- ton coeur se briser Accroches-toi a ton reve. REPEAT CHORUS Hold on tight to your dream Hold on tight to your dream When you see the shadows falling When you hear that cold wind calling Hold on tight to your dream.

| 19 | WILD WEST HERO wild west heroWish I was, yeah, a wild west hero. Sometimes i look up high and then I think there might just be a better life. Away from all we know, that´s where I wanna go, out on the wild side and I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero. Ride the range all the day till the first fading light, be with my western girl round the fire, oh, so bright. I´d be the Indians friend, let them live to be free, ridin´ into the sunset, I wish I could be. I´d ride the desert sands and through the prairie lands, try´n to do what´s right. The folks would come to me, they´d say, we need you here. I´d stay there for the night. Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero. Ride the range all the day till the first fading light, be with my western girl round the fire, oh, so bright. I´d be the Indians friend, let them live to be free, ridin´ into the sunset, I wish I could be. Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero. Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero. Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero. Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero. Wish I was, o-o-oo-o-o-o-oo, a wild west hero. - Jeff Lynne | electric light orchestra |
