Electric Light Orchestra "Nobody's Child"

[rerevisionist]

I think this song was called 'Painted Lady' on the original long player record. There was certainly a song of that title, but my memory of it isn't exactly like this

[TucPaper]

Jeff is GOD

[TheFpuff]

Jeff Lynne should have done more research with the names of some of his songs. He has like 20 songs that share names with other popular songs.

[Glassmother786]

I love this song ... so f*cking sassy ;D

[kagerioshu]

Fuck yeah, ELO and Luis Royo.

[RustiSwordz]

I totally forgot how good this song is! Its a strippers song!

[TheMsautobodyman]

Talos I say ole boy great taste in music

[TheMsautobodyman]

painted lady you're supposed to be a dream

[CalebSctEllis]

Best album on the face of this earth, ironically I'm listening to it right now.

[ELONut]

The ''wet dream'' on the Eldorado album

[eldorado61guy]

Oh, Yes. 'Eldorado' is my favourite E.L.O. record. Released in 1974. I still listen to it. Oh, the memories.

[THESOULbornold]

this music is a religion

[no1elofaniknow]

One like his mother probably always warned him about.

[no1elofaniknow]

I think this is definitely about an innocent young guy losing his virginity to (maybe not a prostitute, but) an older, more experienced woman who perhaps found him very desireable, or just thought he was hot.

[Dakhathv42b]

Oh my God, whose art are all these?

[docwatson10]

this echoes elton john's sweet painted lady, but i like the layers of elo more

[jeanmichelgariepy]

so true...I was just thinking that!!

[tmage01]

@docwatson10

I had never heard this song before spotting it here and all the while listening to it I had this feeling of familiarity which I couldn't place. Like an itch I couldn't scratch. Seeing your post brought it into focus: yes, it has certain elements of that old Elton john chestnut. Thanks.

[DarkDJ27]

love the song, hey were u get the pics? i would like the link if possible thank you

[Raycheetah]

Do an online search for Luis Royo, since many of them are his work. =^[.]^=

[msn04061960]

ELO had many great albums

[Alteredbeast47]

fighting the temptations from the woman of his dreams. great stuff. this entire album could be a musical just like 'time'

[USABG58]

this song seemed to tie into the Eldorado as paradise theme. Is it heaven or hell? Answered by the reprise in the end.

[USABG58]

And I love his "poetry" in the second track, Mr. Kingdom: "Looking from this empty room The corridors of endless gloom Go crawling through the night To meet the dawn thats on it's way. Oh, to sleep, perhaps to dream, To live again those joyous scenes. The laughter and the folly, That are locked inside my head. Help me such a lonely soul, In dreams to leave behind the world. Help me Mr. Kingdom, please, To find the rainbow's end." I love this poetry and its too bad other albums weren't the same.

[ericlouet44]

Something to say against Jeff Lynne? Go out and get yourself a brain. I pity you.

[FinnMove]

They say that the lyrics are about a prostitute. If you are honest you agree.

I have noyhing against Jeff Lynne. I take it as a humour. I admire him.

[ericlouet44]

Oh Ok, I'm terribly sorry. It's me I should got out and get me some brains. I knew I could use it some day. Everyone who admire Jeff Lynne is a friend!

[FinnMove]

That´s OK my friend.

I love all ELO songs.

[mutterschied]

Sorry, but when out-of-crack I can't see the fucking "nobody's child" nowhere in this videothing.

[andrewelo]

Great song, from a masterful album

[LVVINLV]

Eldorado is a fantastic piece of work

[violett666]

Sehr gut !

[Dukeofhazzard69]

My walls are covered in victoria francis pictures and my cupboard is full of elo vinyls lol, good work talos124!

[autumnbubz5]

have you got the beginning of 'Eldorado', I just love the intro !!!!!! can't find it anywhere else, nearest I could get was 'can't get it out of my head'.....

[JBofBrisbane]

@autumnbubz5 - search on "Eldorado Overture" if you haven't already.

[locojets]

The song is called nobodys child.

[talos124]

Yes your right! I dont know what the hell i was thinking about.

[trap0001]

A common mistake. I often refer to this song as Painted Lady also.
