Help with Xanadu

You've got me thinking now, who can help with a tune I keep circulating in my head, the song is called something to do with "Xanadu" and the words go something like: "For they shall dine on honeydew, and (...) they shall drink the milk of Paradise"??? It was a group in the 80's who turned the theme into an epic song, but the rest of it escapes me. It's a bit of a muddle. (Monika)

Olivia Newton John and ELO both recorded a song about Xanadu but it does not include these lines. Saint Irony is at work because I just sent you an article about the Grotto della Sibilla which talks about the land of milk and honey and is a so called earthly paradise.

It's so strange! I just rushed to your email and then I found the lyrics to the song, which I have posted with credits. I love your dry wit about ONJ and ELO. Saint Irony IS at work. If I see myself in a place here, it's always standing by the scrolls, like I think Fran said, partaking of the wisdom within these walls. Back to the email and there is more irony in there too....
