| Awesome song. Definitely one of ELO's best slow songs. I love the part "Robin Hood and William Tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot, they don't envy me". Awesome! The Eldorado album in general rocks too. The piano, voice, voice, all add to the great song factor. | |

| Chicane is a word, GhostmanX. It means to resort to tricks. | |

| Yes, it's "chicane"; I copied it off of the lyric sheet. :-) In this sense, it means "a tight turn or curve"; a chicane is a type of curve on a racetrack. My suspicion is that he used the word because it rhymed. | |

| Chicane is a word, but I don't think it's used in the sense of trickery here. Rather, I think it refers to the crest of a wave. | |

| This song is very beautiful and its composed so that every other ELO song I hear brings me back to this, like it can't get out of my head! hahaha...this band rocks!!! I can't stop listening to them...three weeks straight of these songs...awesome.... Song seems to be about this girl he can't can't out of his head, like she's just swallowed whole his entire world and he can't move and only thinks about her...because of this he can't make himself a better person or better the world as some past fictional/non fictional characters seem to have done, as he states "They don't envy me"... | |

| This song is from the Eldorado album, with much reference to the Wizard of Oz (eg, picture on the cover was of the Ruby Slippers). This song in particular has musical quotes from Over the Rainbow (here the strings at 2:10) Hence, the meaning of this song to me is about paradise (Oz) and the grip it has on our mind (Can't Get It Out...) . Even tho the lyrics don't specifically reference W of Oz, I can't get it our of my head that this song is about Oz. | |

| Nobody commented on this? You guys suck. While the lyrics to this are crap, it is a good song overall. It's sang real well, and the music is pretty good. You gotta love at least SOME of this shit | |
