Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the music video of Electric Light Orchestra performing "Strange Magic" and "Living Thing."

1. "Strange Magic" written by Jeff Lynne
Lyrics
You're sailing softly through the sun
in a broken stone age dawn.
You fly so high.

I get a strange magic,
oh, what a strange magic,
oh, it's a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
got a strange magic.

You're walking meadows in my mind,
making waves across my time,
oh no, oh no.

I get a strange magic,
oh, what a strange magic,
oh, it's a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
got a strange magic.

Oh, I'm never gonna be the same again,
now I've seen the way it's got to end,
sweet dream, sweet dream.

Strange magic,
oh, what a strange magic,
oh, it's a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
got a strange magic.

It's magic, it's magic, it's magic.

Strange magic,
oh, what a strange magic,
oh, it's a strange magic.
Got a strange magic.

Strange magic STRANGE MAGIC
oh, what a strange magic STRANGE MAGIC
oh, it's a strange magic.
Got a strange magic.

Strange magic STRANGE MAGIC
oh, what a strange magic STRANGE MAGIC
oh, it's a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
got a strange magic,
you know I got a strange magic,
yeah, I got a strange magic,
oo-o-o-oo, strange magic. (fade)"

2. "Living Thing" written by Jeff Lynne
Lyrics
"Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Oh, rollin' and riding and slipping and sliding
It's magic

And you, and your sweet desire,
You took me, ooh, oh, higher and higher, baby

It's a livin' thing,
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose.

I'm taking a dive
Dive, dive, dive,

Making believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day,
I'm taking a dive
Moving in line then you look back in time
To the first day
I'm taking, I'm taking

And you and your sweet desire
(Don't you do it, don't you do it)
You took me
Oh, higher and higher, baby

It's a living thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose

(And I'm taking a dive on the slide hey)

Takin' a dive 'cause you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream,
(I'm taking a dive)
So let her go don't start spoiling the show
It's a bad dream
(I'm taking, I'm taking)

And you and your sweet desire
(Don't you do it, don't you do it)
You took me
Oh, higher and higher, baby

It's a living thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose

It's a living thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing.... "
