Album: Secret Messages (1983)

License This Song 

• The streets, the signs are pointing all one way
  But you don't realize just what they say
  You may fight, you may run, you may know what you've done
  It makes me feel so sad to think what I might've had
  I watch the stars, I watch the sun, now I watch for anyone
  But it's only make believe
  
  You work, you work, you work so hard and then
  Someone, someone will come around again
  You may think it's for real, but you know how you feel
  The places that I go don't feel good anymore
  I see it all rainbows in fall I see her face upon my wall
  But it's only make believe
  
  Fly away, bluebird fly away for me
  To a place somewhere far across the sea
  Fly away, far away, don't look back, go today
  The waves that crash upon the sand
  Another place, a far off land
  And every day, I have to stay, but you are free
  You could fly away
  But it's only make believe Writer/s: JEFF LYNNE

• Bruce H from WapakI loved "Secret Mrssages" I thought it was well produced. I really don't agree with the naysayers. Just as good as Discovery and Balance of Power.
• Mp from Sebring FloridaAnother of Lynne's songs with nonsense lyrics. The whole album sounds like he didn't want to be there (which apparently he didn't) and the songs show it.
• Don from Sevierville, TnPaul McCartney & Wings also recorded a song titled "Bluebird" on their "Band On The Run" album. Later, Jeff Lynne worked with Paul McCartney on Paul's 1997 album, "Flaming Pie", which would be Paul's last vocal album release while his first wife, Linda, was still alive.
• Alan from Joliet, IlThis will blow your minds, but the album Secret Messages was originally planned as a double. You can find many of the out-takes in the box set Afterglow. I think the out-takes were hit-and-miss--half were better than the LP release, and half were worse. But this and "Four Little Diamonds" are worth the purchase of the CD; treat the other tracks as an interesting mess.
• Gary from Chandler, AzWell produced and performed. Very bouyant sounding and pleasant melody.
• Ed from Canton, OhIt is sad this song and this album did not have more success. I guess there was no recovery from DISCOvery.
