Lyrics - Illusions in G Major by Electric Light Orchestra

On the seven seas there was aphantom ship acoming,
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.
Chorus
But
I heard them just the same doctor let me teach ’em,
I just wanna please ’em, doctor let me teach ’em.
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.
Chorus
But
I heard them just the same doctor let me teach ’em,
I just wanna please ’em, doctor let me teach ’em.
Doctor please believe me,
I know you won’t decieve 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.
Chorus
But
I heard them just the same doctor let me teach ’em,
I just wanna please ’em, doctor let me teach ’em.
