Anyone remember this song?
I was listening to this oldies station (but since when does ELO count as oldies?? I feel OLD!) and the DJ actually dedicated this to Hillary Clinton. That, of course, got my attention and I looked up the lyrics when I got home:

"Hey woman, you got the blues, cos you aint got no one else to use.
Theres an open road that leads nowhere, so just make some miles
Between here and there.
Theres a hole in my head where the rain comes in,
You took my body and played to win,
Ha ha woman its a crying shame,
But you aint got no one else to blame.

Chorus
E-evil woman, e-evil woman, e-evil woman, evil woman

Rolled in from another town,
Hit some gold too hot to settle down,
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways,
And you found a fool lyin in a daze,
Ha ha woman what you gonna do,
You destroyed all the virtues that the lord gave you,
Its so good that youre feeling pain,
But you better get yourself on board the very next train.

Chorus
E-evil woman, e-evil woman, e-evil woman, evil woman

Evil woman how you done me wrong,
But now youre tryin to wail a different song,
Ha ha funny how you broke me up, you made the wine now you
Drink the cup,
I came runnin every time you cried,
Thought I saw love smilin in your eyes,
Ha ha very nice to know, that you aint got no place left to go."




I wonder if he was once a supporter.

2. I know, right?
Whatever happened to the top hits of the 20s, man??? (I'm kind of sort of not kidding, I do love that REALLY old stuff.)

6. The oldies era is pretty much rock and roll 1954 - 1972, IMO.
OTOH, what the hell do I know? I'm 28.

8. I saw a commercial for some compilation of 80s hits you could buy
on three CDs and pay for it in installments and I thought holy shit, I'm old. I danced around and made out to that 80s stuff (I'm in my late 30s).

That's the official cut off. You are no longer young when the soundtrack of your teen years is sold on TV commercials late at night.
