Electricity
Ringo's Ode to Power: The Electric Journey from Liverpool to Hollywood
Lyrics
Not so long ago back in Liverpool
Reflects on a past time in Liverpool
Playing every show while working in the factory
Performing music while also working in a factory
Music was the scene, I was on my way
Being involved in the music scene and progressing
Chasing my own dream with Rory and the Hurricanes
Pursuing dreams alongside Rory and the Hurricanes
Before he became the keeper of the plane
Reference to someone's change in occupation
And by the name of Johnny Guitar
Referring to a person known as Johnny Guitar
Electricity coming through his fingers
Metaphorically describes the energy in Johnny's playing
Every time he plays, everybody linger
People are captivated by Johnny's music
Electricity, and I still remember back in the day
Nostalgia about the past
No one there will forget the way he played
Johnny's playing remains unforgettable
Electricity
Repetition of the theme of electric energy in music
As it turned out good
Things turned out positively
Made it here to Hollywood
Successfully reaching Hollywood
Playing just the same
Continuing to perform similarly despite changes
I guess there's things that never change
Some elements remain constant
Just like from the start
Consistency in giving one's best
Every night I gave my heart
Commitment to giving heartfelt performances
Trying to make it good
Striving to excel in performances
Just like I know I could
Belief in one's capabilities
The gangster of love
Metaphorical reference to a mythical figure
Is smiling from above
Suggests a positive influence or presence
So we play this one to Johnny Guitar
Dedicating a song to Johnny Guitar
Electricity coming through his fingers
Reiteration of the energetic music of Johnny
Every time he plays, everybody linger
Impact of Johnny's music on the audience
Electricity, and I still remember back in the day
Recalling memories of Johnny's music in the past
No one there will forget the way he played
Highlighting the lasting impact of Johnny's playing
Electricity
Repetition of the motif of electric energy in music
Electricity coming through his fingers
Reiteration of the energetic music of Johnny
Every time he plays, everybody linger
Impact of Johnny's music on the audience
Electricity, and I still remember back in the day
Recalling memories of Johnny's music in the past
No one there will forget the way he played
Highlighting the lasting impact of Johnny's playing
Electricity
Repetition of the motif of electric energy in music
