Nellie Takes Her Bow - Electric Light Orchestra[00:00:00]
Who thanked the Lord for the clothes[00:00:16]
That she wore and mended[00:00:19]
Nellie with the big old fashioned eyes[00:00:23]
Who won the heart of a crowd tore apart took a bow[00:00:34]
Nellie there's a different world backstage[00:00:40]
I see the flood lights burning[00:00:52]
I hear the band play on[00:00:59]
Now Nellie takes her bow[00:01:09]
She said she really could not stay[00:01:18]
She had a brand new play to play[00:01:26]
And so she paints her face and smiles[00:01:35]
And she'll be someone else in a while[00:01:43]
I see the flood lights burning[00:01:52]
I hear the band play on[00:02:00]
Now Nellie takes her bow[00:02:09]
Who could not face a broken world[00:04:25]
And so she acts out all her dreams[00:04:29]
Just a lonely girl[00:04:29]
And wishes that's how it had been[00:04:32]
But when the audience is near[00:04:36]
It seems as though she doesn't even care[00:04:39]
I see the flood lights burning[00:04:50]
I hear the band play on[00:04:54]
Now Nellie takes her bow[00:04:55]
Nellie just sent me a line[00:04:57]
To tell me she was doing fine[00:05:00]
She got the lead and on Broadway[00:05:04]
And now they're digging her today[00:05:13]
And as she turns the final page[00:05:18]
Living someone's life upon the stage[00:05:21]
I see the flood lights burning[00:05:24]
I hear the band play on[00:05:27]
Now Nellie takes her bow[00:05:30]
