| Comments: |
By this point in the "Get Up" album project we'd been immersed in "Jeff Lynne world" for a year or more, so perhaps we could be forgiven for channeling the man himself on this particular track! Additionally, Jeff's continued involvement was tenuous, predicated upon a comment he'd made early in the process: "As long as you keep sending me songs I like, I'll keep recording them". We were half-way through recording an album's worth of materia, one song at a time. Our batting average was pretty good so far, but we'd also delivered one or two songs that Jeff didn't like ... so all the more reason to reach for something we hoped -- aka, kinda knew -- would meet with his approval. |

| Lyrics: | I was doin’ the night shift, you were a dancer Here and there searchin’ everywhere for an answer Two hearts are better than one - we'll never come undone We did it all, we'd do it again in a heartbeat You gotta go the distance right to the end We took it all the way and in a heartbeat We did it all and we'd do it again You and me - there were times when we could do no wrong Life goes by and I remember why we stayed so strong If not for you I don't know what I would do We did it all, we'd do it again in a heartbeat You gotta go the distance right to the end We took it all the way and in a heartbeat We did it all and we'd do it again |
