DOGS
By
Bee Gees
***************
I was hungry and I was cold , had a father far too old
Couldn’t make it to the place he’d like to be
In a treetrunk in the park , he was living in the dark
Keeping other dogs like him for company
In the evening I’d go down to a nightclub in the town
Try to get some bread to make another way
Back to the park I’d go , dig him out of the snow
You know he’s lived a thousand years day to day
Well , the days get shorter and the nights get longer
And you never learn to know
If you love one another , could you look at each other
Could it ever really show
And at this moment in time you couldn’t make up your mind
Now could you ever understand
Are you following me just like Moses to the sea
Do you think I’ll give you freedom in the end
When I’m long dead and gone will your love for me go on
Will I be the one you run to in the end
And all my dogs need a friend
It was a quarter to three in the summer of ’73
When I heard somebody call outside my door
Said “Are you friend or are you foe”
He looked up and he said “no, but I’d like to come inside and know you more”
Well the days get shorter and the nights get longer
And you never learn to know
If you love one another , could you look at each other
Could it ever really show
And at this moment in time you couldn’t make up your mind
Now could you ever understand
Are you following me just like Moses to the sea
Do you think I’ll give you freedom in the end
When I’m long dead and gone will your love for me go on
Will I be the one you run to in the end
And all my dogs need a friend
Need a friend
Need a friend
IT’S MY NEIGHBORHOOD
***************
Don’t get too close to me,
don’t overreact,
you’re not the enemy as a matter of fact,
you got your pretty face and you got any name you wore
gonna stick by you, gonna stumble over what to do.
I want it, good lovin’ wanna be your plaything.
I want it, good lovin’ bring out the beast in me.
I want it, good lovin’ wanna make your heart sing,
in the shadows we are free, and I walk you through it.
It’s my neighborhood,
that’s where I belong.
You’re in trouble if you
disagree with me.
It’s my neighborhood,
that’s where I belong,
you find out why.
It’s my neighborhood,
that’s where I belong.
You’re in trouble if you
disagree with me.
It’s my neighborhood,
that’s where I belong,
you find out why.
So many tell you that you can’t win
It’s a battle if you’re lonely
Or if you’re starting over
Two-fisted and fast on your feet
And you know there’s something more
And the city kicks it out of you and…
I want it, good lovin’ wanna be your plaything.
I want it, good lovin’ bring out the worst in me.
I want it, good lovin’ wanna make your heart sing,
in the shadows we are free, and I walk you through it.
It’s my neighborhood,
that’s where I belong.
You’re in trouble if you
disagree with me.
It’s my neighborhood,
that’s where I belong,
you find out why.
I DON’T WANNA BE THE ONE
***************
It’s too late to turn back now
There ain’t no space back there
And how did I begin to lose my self control
How did I begin to lose my self control
There ain’t a thing that you could give me
With the love forever with me
That’s the only thing that satisfies my soul
That’s the only thing that satisfies my soul
I don’t wanna be the one
Remember it was only fun
Two strangers touching in the sun, it had to end
I don’t wanna be the guy to tell you things that make you cry
You know as well as I know , you’re my only friend
There ain’t a thing that you could give me
With the love forever with me
That’s the only thing that satisfies my soul
That’s the only thing that satisfies my soul
I don’t wanna be the one
Remember it was only fun
Two strangers touching in the sun, it had to end
I don’t wanna be the guy to tell you things that make you cry
You know as well as I know ,you’re my only friend
I don’t wanna be the guy to tell you things that make you cry
You know as well as I know you’re my only friend
You know as well as I know you’re my only friend
You’re my only friend
My only friend
My only friend
HORIZONTAL
***************
I have been lying under a pillow of dreams
And feeling moments of swimming in cream
This is the start of the end, Goodbye
Hours of facing my life, have damned
You are a good friend
Friendly as goood friends can be
Your father wants you to live on his knee
This is the start of the end, climb by me
Red sides and blue sides within, remind me
I have been lying under a pillow of dreams
And feeling moments of swimming in cream
This is the start of the end, Goodbye
Hours of facing my life, have damned.
TEARS
***************
I started out to be the man behind the scenes
Knowing I was in above my head
For all that I could see
I never saw the truth
Now I’m alone
Heaven only knows how much I’m missing you
Knowing I had heaven in my hands
And there will be tears
Tears are mixed with rain
Keeper of my flame
Time and tide is on my side, it stands forever
There will be nights of love and yes there will be tears
I will not sleep tonight
There will be tears tonight
I will not sleep tonight
There will be tears
The silent telephone, the turning of the key
You’re still inside of me , I’m not ashamed
For all that I can do , I can’t forget your face
I call your name
Heaven only knows what I’ve been crying for , what I’m crying for
And all I’ve done to keep this love alive
Even through my tears
Tears are mixed with rain
Keeper of my flame
I will pray you’re on my side, we stand forever
There will be nights of love and yes there will be tears
I will not sleep tonight
There will be tears tonight
I will not sleep tonight
There will be tears
Soon there will be tears rollin’ down my world
Keeper of my flame
Time and tide is on my side, it stands forever
There will be nights of love and yes there will be tears
I will not sleep tonight. There will be tears tonight
I will not sleep tonight. There will be tears
I will not sleep tonight. There will be tears tonight
I will not sleep tonight. There will be tears
FANNY (BE TENDER WITH MY LOVE)
***************
First I rise, then I fall
Seems like you don’t want the love
Of this man at all
And it’s sure been a lonely time
Right up to the time I met you
So if you take a love like mine
Be tender with my love;
You know how easy it is to hurt me
Fanny, be tender with my love,
‘Cause it’s all that I’ve got
And my love won’t desert me
So you say to yourself, boy,
You’re out of your brain;
Do you think I’m gonna stand here
All night in the rain?
And it’s the start of a love affair
The moment when I first met you
And if you want I’ll take you there;
Be tender with my love;
You know how easy it is to break me
Fanny, be tender with my love,
‘Cause it’s all that I’ve got
And my love won’t forsake me.
With my love,
Our love will seal it together.
Oh, with our love,
You made a promise
You’ll always love me forever.
Be tender with my love;
You know how easy it is to break me
Fanny, be tender with my love,
‘Cause it’s all that I’ve got
And my love won’t forsake me.
