  • "A Matter of Fact" is a song by Electric Light Orchestra that was originally released on the UK "So Serious" single. It was released digitally on the Afterglow box set in 1990 but has received no other official release since then, even on subsequent remasters/reissues of the Balance of Power album.
    There is also a version of this song that features alternate lyrics. That version was only released on the UK "So Serious" 12" single, and has never received a digital release.

    This song really slipped through the cracks.

    I've been a massive ELO fan since 1976 and I must admit I wasn't blown away the first time I listened to the Balance Of Power album but it soon grew on me and now I love it just like all the other ELO albums. This would have fitted on the album really well. Can't wait for Jeff's new album to come.

    Una injusticia el no haber estado incluido este temazo en el álbum.
    Es absolutamente genial. No puedo quitarme de la cabeza el coro...😄😄

    Lyrics.
    Don't know why
    It's the strangest thing
    It's no lie
    Don't know what's happening
    I know that you know that
    It's a matter of fact
    I know that you know that
    It's a matter of fact
    Don't want to stay
    But I don't want to go oh who oh
    Don't want to say it
    But you already know oh who oh
    I know that you know that
    It's a matter of fact
    I know that you know that
    It's a matter of fact
    Tell me now
    What is that thing you do
    Tell me how
    I keep thinking of you
    I know that you know that
    It's a matter of fact
    I know that you know that
    It's a matter of fact
    If it's gone
    Come out and say it
    Don't go on
    Living in make believe
    I know that you know that
    It's a matter of fact
    I know that you know that
    It's a matter of fact
    I know that you know that
    I know that you know that
    I know that you know that
    I know that you know that
    I know that you know that
    It's a matter of fact
    I know that you know that
    It's a matter of fact

    I love Balance of Power & of course ELO are my all time favourite band & Jeff Lynne is a genius.
    But IMO I would have included A Matter Of Fact & Destination Unknown as the last 2 tracks instead of Endless Lies & Send It

    I wonder what other things were in that HQ Secret Messages bootleg?

      This isn't from Secret Messages. It's an old B Side single released in the UK at the same time as Balance of Power.

      @@douglashall6326 I know. I was asking because of the description. God knows what was a BoP song in a SM bootleg.

    Kolejny ciekawy singiel promujący album,, Balance of Power ,, , dla mnie to nowe brzmienie zespołu Electric Light Orchestra z końca kariery muzycznej , jednak Jeff Lynne chciał zmienić brzmienie zespołu Electric Light Orchestra na bardziej elektroniczne z domieszką jazzu.

    Another great 70s band killed by 80s new wave synth.

    Hola.
    Otro tema , excelente por lo demás , excluido del álbum
    " Balance of power " ( 1986 )
    Se suma a " Caught in a trap " ,
    por ejemplo , pero que , a diferencia del primero , fue lado B , mas , ambos , no aparecieron en el larga duración lanzado en esa época.
    Gracias por subirlo.
    Un abrazo afectuoso.
    Saludos desde Chile , Sudamérica.
