Livin' Thing
Electric Light Orchestra
A New World Record (1976)

Sailin' away on the rest of a wave
It's like magic
Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin'
It's magic

Chorus:
And you, and your sweet desire,
You took me, higher and higher
It's a livin' thing,
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose

Making believe this is what you conceived
From your worst day,
Moving in line then you look back in time
To your first day

Chorus: repeat

Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream,
So let her go don't start spoiling the show
It's a bad dream

Chorus: repeat
