Píseň: Illusions In G Major

Interpret:
Electric Light Orchestra
Album:
Eldorado
On the seven seas
there was a phantom ship a-comin'
Shinin' in the dead of night
I heard the crew a-hummin'
Tunes that sounded like the Rolling Stones 
and Leonard Cohen.
But they didn't know the words
So I assumed that they was foreign.


But I heard them just the same.
Oh, doctor, let me teach 'em
I just wanna please 'em now.
I said, "Doctor, let me teach 'em
I just wanna please 'em now."


I looked up in the sky: 
there was a phantom plane a-comin'
Shinin' in the dead of night
I heard the pilot saying
Poems that were written by John Keats 
and Robert Browning.
But he didn't know the words
So I suppose that it was nothing.


But I heard them just the same.
Oh, doctor, let me teach 'em
I just wanna please 'em now.
I said, "Doctor, let me teach 'em
I just wanna please 'em now."


Oh, doctor, please believe me
I know you won't deceive me,
But do these things I'm seein'
Have any hidden meaning.
It's all good entertainment
And it doesn't cost a penny.
So please, doc, let me teach 'em,
If I could only reach 'em.


But I heard them just the same.
Oh, doctor, let me teach 'em,
I just wanna please 'em now.
Oh, doctor, let me teach 'em,
I just wanna please 'em now.
