The Way Lifes Meant To Be
Electric Light Orchestra
Letra

Intro

verse 1

Well I came a long way to be here today and

I left you so long on this avenue...

And here I stand in the strangest land not

Knowing what to say or do...

As I gaze around at these strangers in town I

guess the only stranger is me...





verse 2

Although it s only a day since I was taken away and left

standing here looking in wonder...

Oh the crowd at my feet maybe it s just the old street but

every thing that I Know lies under...

And when I see what they ve done to this place that was

home, shame is all that I feel... Ohhh




Bridge;


Too late too late to cry the people say

Too late for you too late for me...

You ve come so far, nah you know ev ry thing my friend

Love can see the one that s out my way

Bass solo; , , ,


Oh---------------wah la...





verse 3


As I wonder around this wreck of a town where people

never speak aloud... with it s ivory towers and it s plastic

flowers I wish I was back in 1981

Just to see your face in stead of this place now I know what

you mean to me. Ohhhh




, , , ,


Finale:




And I wonder, yes I wonder wonder wonder wonder is this

the way life s meant to be. Ohhhhhhh (2x)

Is this the way life s meant to be mmmmm

Is this the way life s meant to be, I wanna know now

Is this the way life s meant to be.
