Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) was a successful Birmingham, England rock music group of the 1970s and 1980s. They incorporated the sounds of string ensembles, vocoders and dub echos into rock songs, thereby creating a very sophisticated studio version of rock. The musical content of ELO songs often went far beyond usual chord structures, mixing pop songwriting with classical romanticism and synthesized sounds. Formed in 1970 by Roy Wood, Jeff Lynne and Bev Bevan (the remaining members of the 1960s rock group The Move). The band used cellos, violin, horns and woodwinds to give their music a classical sound.

Breakin’ Down The Walls Lyrics
Electric Light Orchestra
Talk is cheap, but it cant pay
For all the hurt you threw my way
Oh, no - oh, no
Love is blind but I can see
Youre trying to make a fool of me
I know - I know
Sometimes I feel just like Im running on ice
I might slip and slide girl
But you wont hurt me twice, oh no
Chorus
No matter what you say
Youll never stop me
Breaking down the walls around your heart
No matter what you do
You just cant stop me
Breaking down the walls around your heart
Love is passion, love is pain
The heat is on, were all insane
I know, I know
Life is bitter, life is sweet
You just cant ever admit defeat
Oh, no - oh, no
Sometimes it feels like weve been fighting too long
It cant be right to make me feel so wrong - oh, no
Chorus
Did you ever feel like superman
Got the world in your hands
But you never can
Seem to break down the walls
Did you ever feel like a drowning man
Got your life in your hands
But you never can
Seem to break down the walls
Sometimes it feels just like Im running on ice
I might slip and slide girl
But you wont hurt me twice - oh, no
Chorus
