The Move was a successful UK band in the sixties that morphed into ELO. Roy Wood is singing and you will see a young Jeff Lynne on guitar without his trademark aviators. They only charted one song in the US and that was Do Ya.
This song was written by Roy Wood originally for the vocal group The New Seekers. The Move released this song in 1971 and it peaked at #11 in the UK.
Their style ranged from pop to psychedelic, blues, progressive, and 1950s style rock ‘n’ roll. Roy Wood’s talent as an original songwriter helped propelled the band for UK success.

Tonight
That’s the road
It’s over there
And leading down to nowhere.
This is the age when you’re allowed
To have your own care
If you were half so bright
You’d plan your life ahead
Instead of waiting ’til you’re old in your bed.
I’ll be over tonight
If you say you might
I’ll be over tonight
Need to put you right.
I’m so used to waiting that’s entirely
Your decision don’t be restricted
By the weightless views you’re given
If you were half so bright you fight them
From the head
Instead of saving ’til your young heart is dead.
I’ll be over tonight
But don’t want to take it too far
Oh I think you won’t but I know that you don’t
You always say that you are
Show some concern for all the love
That you must live through
If you were half so bright
You’d plan your life ahead
Instead of waiting ’til you’re old in your bed.
