Electric Light Orchestra – 10538 Overture lyrics
Did you see your friend crying from his eyes today
Did you see him run through the streets and far away
Aah
Did you see him run, did you see him fall
Did his life flash by at the bedroom door

Did you hear the news it came across the air today
Someone has been found on the rocks down in the bay
Ahhh
Did you see him hide, did you see him crawl
Does his life mean more than it did before

Did you see that man running through the streets today
Did you catch his face, was it 10538
Ahhhh

    Early Installment Weirdness. After the breakup of The Move, Roy Wood was briefly in the ELO, at least for the first LP, but left shortly afterwards to form his own band, Wizzard. This song is a picture of how ELO might otherwise have gone - possibly a progressive rock band in the style of Genesis or Yes, rather than a chart-orientated pop group.
