00:00Let's sing something.
00:02She said, she said, stop me, I'm not going to say anything tonight.
00:06But please do.

00:26I am an ELO fan.
00:29I am.
00:33I know my children will hate me for it when they're teenagers, but I don't care.
00:56Hello.
00:59How are you?
01:02Well, have you been all right through all these lonely nights?
01:11That's what I'd say.
01:13Well, I'd tell you everything if you'd pick up my telephone.

05:15Aw, thank you
05:16I love you
05:17Thank you
05:19I love that song
05:26Um, well
05:29Now, I, I guess
05:30The reason we got together
05:31Back in 1862
05:32Was, um
05:34Apart from an overwhelming
05:36Mutual admiration
05:37And just
05:37A love of singing harmony
05:39It's, it's an excuse
05:40To do all these great songs
05:41From our youth
05:42You know how the songs
05:43When you're 10 or 11
05:44Or 12
05:44Or, you know
05:45Especially teenagers
05:46They just
05:47Yeah, two
05:47Because Tasha's quite
05:48A lot younger than us
05:49She's much younger than us
05:50Um, they stick in your brain

05:55I think I was in form 2
05:57At the time
05:57Pivotal years
05:59And, uh
05:59So far
06:00Before the Lady Killers
06:01I never met anyone else
06:02That I played music with
06:03That was willing
06:03To play that song
06:04Do you believe that?
06:06But, you know what
06:07Um, she's really bossy
06:09That's why we did it
06:09So we had no say
06:10Yeah, that's the truth
06:12She said
06:13I'm doing telephone line
06:14Whether you like it or not
06:15Okay
06:15Okay
06:16And then I held my breath
06:17Until they fed me
06:19Which is often
