  • By the time I'd slipped the ball and chain,
    I was heading down the road again
    I was heading for somewhere I shouldn't be.

    And I heard you shouting me who wait,
    Better turn back now or it's too late,
    'Cause it's heading for the point of no return.

    [Chorus]
    No return
    No return
    It was getting to the point of no return.

    We could only run, we could never walk,
    We could only shout, we could never talk.
    We were living way too close to the border line.

    While the city boys were hanging out
    Trying to clean their shares in the laundromat,
    It was getting to the point of no return.

    [Chorus]

    I just had to leave couldn't stay no more,
    Down the elevator to the door
    It was getting to the point of no return.

    [Chorus: x2]

    It was getting to the point of no return.
    It was getting to the point of no return. Publisher: TUNECORE INC

  • Michelle Mitchell from Peterborough U.k. Jeff, is amazing. So unassuming, a music god. I’d love to see him.
  • Ed from Canton, OhA full album of remaking ELO's old songs was not a good idea. I would have liked it if Lynne would have added something different to each song, but instead it was just a repeat of the original.
