BACK HOME
By
Bee Gees
***************
Took a plane to Cairo
Then a Cessna to Rome
I got hijacked to Tel Aviv
And it’s the first time that I’ve flown
But I’ve found my Shangri-la
In a place that’s not too far , back home
Took a train to Jordan
And to Texas and back
I met Lyndon B. Johnson and I felt his hand on my back
But I found my Shangri-la
In a place that’s not too far, back home
Back home, back home,
back home, back home,
back home, back home
2 YEARS ON
***************
One year, two years, time goes by.
People laugh and people cry.
Ev’ry morning the clock strikes eight.
I go to work. I close the gate.
And on my way, I sing a song.
About my wife, where I belong.
If the clouds get together and talk about the weather
If it’s rain they anticipate
Baby make no mistake
Yes the storm will break but never me you see.
Two years on . Two years on .
But only you can see me.
Only you can see me.
For what I’ve got
Sir Lancelot was just a dream and I am not
For I am he with something more
It’s you and I reality.
If the cloud get together and talk about the weather
If it’s rain they anticipate
Baby, make no mistake
Yes the storm will break but never me you see
Two years on . Two years on .
But only you can see me
Only you can see me
Two years on . Two years on .
Ah….
BURY ME DOWN BY THE RIVER
***************
I wasn’t born in the morning, no
I must have been born in the night
I’ve done my load and I’ll carry my load
And all I own is my life
I wasn’t born to be lucky ,
’cause luck had no future with me
I’ve done my wrong and I’ll sing, sing, sing my song
and stand beneath the hanging tree
Bury me down by the river
Let all the towns people see
Their enemy’s dead, let me lay, lay my head
Just put me down and set me free
I wasn’t born as a rich man, no
A rich man I never, I never could be
I’ve done my wrong and I’ll sing, sing, sing my song
And stand beneath the hanging tree (Everybody sing now)
Bury me down by the river, lord no
Let all the towns people see, see
Their enemy’s dead, let me lay, lay, lay my head
Just put me down and set me free
(I want to hear everybody sing)
Bury me down by the river
Let all the towns, let all the towns people see
Their enemy’s dead, let me lay, let met lay, let me lay my head along
Just put me down and set me free (set me free)
SAW A NEW MORNING
***************
All of a sudden I saw a new morning
I’m locked up I want to be free
Out in the courtyard and over the wall then
My friends are waiting for me
Sixteen people are waiting to get me
Hoping to take me outside
I hear the sound of the snubnose behind me
I went along for the ride
Wind in my face and my bones they are aching
My soul must weather the storm
I must run till my back it is breaking
Desp’ratly I must keep on
Sixteen people are waiting to get me
Hoping to take me outside
I hear the sound of the snubnose behind me
I went along for the ride
La…
All of a sudden I saw a new morning
I went along for the ride
All of a sudden I saw a new morning
All of a sudden I saw a new morning
All of a sudden I saw a new morning
I saw a new morning
IF ONLY I HAD MY MIND ON SOMETHING ELSE
***************
I could be king of kings ; wear a crown and all the things
I’d want I’d never need.
I’d be an ace in an aeroplane and every year I’d fly to Spain.
If I could get the nerve to plant the seed.
Oh, tell me how to say goodbye.
I see her face in myself.
Why, tell me why I made her cry
If only had my mind on something else.
Captain of the submarine beneath the icebergs never seen.
A hero with a medal for ev’ryday.
I find me fame,reach the top.
I keep on pushing never stop.
If I could just forget her name.
If only had my mind on something else.
DON’T WANT TO LIVE INSIDE MYSELF
***************
I am the searcher of my fortunes
I’ve got my right hand on the wheel
We’ve got to dig for buried treasures
I know exactly how I feel
I went walkin’thru a grave – yard
Where the darkness is my friend
I heard all about the beginning
I wanna see just where it ends
I have fed the jaded tiger
And every tiger knows my name
But just as long as long as I can see my face
I can tell myself my name
Don’t want to live inside myself
I’m much better of alone
But then you must believe in the fallin’rain
In the morning
Bury me down by the river
Saved by the bell
Man for all seasons
