Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Illusions In G Major Lyrics

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.
