CUCUMBER CASTLE
By
Bee Gees
***************
There where the trees, see the grass, a Pinkerton spy
Said “This is the place I will try, ” and he did.
Stood in the dark, sat a man who beckoned him in,
But leaving his grass was a sin, but he did.
Cucumber Castle be ever so humble it’s home.
He saw the light in the cellar reflect in his eyes,
Yet early that morning was he to receive a surprise.
Cucumber Castle be ever so humble it’s home.
Cucumber Castle be ever so humble it’s home.
Said ‘Are you leaving or are you receiving my friend?
Doest need any money till then” and he did.
He said “I’m the owner, not you, and this is my stead,
So give it to me now I’m dead, and he did, said:
Cucumber Castle be ever so humble it’s home.
Cucumber Castle be ever so humble it’s home.
I WAS THE CHILD
***************
When I was you we walked to school
And I carried your books ’cause even then I was a fool
But you grew up and said goodbye
I still remember the things that made me cry
For all too soon my story ends
I found a love, now not even friends
Tell me why
loving you , loving me like you used to do
I was the child
I held your hand and I told you things
And I made you believe, believe in fairy tales
and diamond rings
hen all too soon my story ends
I found a love ,now not even friends
Tell me why
loving you , loving me like you used to do
I was the child
Ah …..
SMOKE AND MIRRORS
***************
When I was a boy all the books I read
I followed like a blind man
To heed the words my father said
Those golden summers fade into night, words become a dream
The echoes of my childhood and where the path is winding
May God bless you, keep you safe from all harm
I stand by you always
Time and motion hands touch
Lips find a way to heaven on high
Watch the children play, the child becomes a man
And all the tangled webs we weave
You swear it as we live and breath
We stay together death until you part
Winner takes the prize
The futures at your finger tips, right before your eyes
No more sorrow (smoke and mirrors)
No more nights with no end
(I really learned a lot, smoke and mirrors)
I see my tomorrows
And nothing from nothing
And ashes to ashes they say
All the more that you reach out
The more that it runs away
(Smoke and mirrors)
No more goodbyes
(That’s all I ever got, smoke and mirrors)
No lies, you find your way there
(She show me what she’s got, smoke and mirrors)
Heaven on high
May god bless you keep you safe from all harm
I stand by you always
Time and motion
(smoke and mirrors)
Hands touch, lips find a way to
(That’s all I ever got, smoke and mirrors)
Heaven on high
No more sorrow
(I really learned a lot, smoke and mirrors)
No more nights with no end
(She show me what she’s got, smoke and mirrors)
I rise or I fall
no more goodbyes
(She really makes me hot, smoke and mirrors)
No lies, you find a way there
Heaven on high
WALKING BACK TO WATERLOO
***************
I wish there was another year another time.
When people sang and poems rhymed.
My name could be Napoleon.
A thousand ships.
A windy sail, so huge and high it’s tall enough to touch the sky.
It’s beautiful but hard to find.
But I just wasn’t born in time.
Walking back to Waterloo again.
Where do I begin ?
In the brand new street, you can get a good seat at the end.
I can dream of growing trees and things that live and grass that’s green
In meadows that have never been.
But I still place my trust in the Queen.
What is life when a man is pressured based on wrong or right.
And I don’t know what it means.
There must be more we haven’t seen.
Walking back to Waterloo again.
Where do I begin?
In the brand new street, you can get a good seat at the end.
Walking back to Waterloo again.
Where do I begin?
In the brand new street, you can get a good seat at the end
DIMENSIONS
***************
Hindsight, don’t make it right
She give me trouble enough
And she’s a ball of light
I’m in the tunnel of love
With the American dream
And I was born too soon
A little good luck, never stuck
She got me climbing the walls
Got me hard as a rock
Within a city of sin, she got a city block
And she was barkin’ at the moon
She likes to show
So many sides to her
And I’d be the one to know
When am I gonna go to your dimension
When am I gonna go to where you are
When am I gonna go to your dimension
Dimensions of each other keep us goin’ strong
Black knight, take a bite
She can double it up
And she’s a way of life
And whether dead or alive
She got a fix on me
And I was dancin’ in the fire
White steam, never seen
In every muscle and bone
She was a love machine
And she could wrestle me down
And get a taste of me
In her web of desire
She changed my world
How can the body know
It’s touchin’ me or her
LOVE YOU INSIDE OUT
***************
Baby, I can’t figure it out
Your kisses taste like honey
Sweet lies don’t gimme no rise
Oh, oh what you’re trying to do?
Livin’ on your cheatin’
And the pain grows inside me
It’s enough to leave me crying in the rain
Love you forever but you’re
Driving me insane
And I’m hanging on
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, I’ll win, I’ll never give in
Our love has got the power
Too many lovers in one lifetime
Ain’t good for you
You treat me like a vision in the night
Someone there to stand behind you
When your world ain’t working right
I ain’t no vision, I am the man
Who loves you inside and out
Backwards and forwards with
My heart hanging out
I love no other way
What am I gonna do if we lose that fire?
Wrap myself up and take me home again
Too many heartaches in one
Lifetime ain’t good for me
I figure it’s the love that keeps you warm
Let this moment be forever
We won’t ever feel the storm
I ain’t no vision, I am the man
Who loves you inside and out
Backwards and forwards with
My heart hanging out
I love no other way
What am I gonna do if we lose that fire?
Don’t try to tell me it’s all over
Can’t hear a word I can’t hear a line
No man could love you more
And that’s what I’m cryin’ for
You can’t change the way I feel inside
You’re the reason for my laughter and my sorrow
Blow out the candle I will burn again tomorrow
No man on earth can stand
Between my love and I
And no matter how you hurt me
I will love you till I die
I ain’t no vision, I am the man
Who loves you inside out
Backwards and forwards with
My heart hanging out
I love no other way
What am I gonna do if we lose that fire?
