GIVING UP THE GHOST
By
Bee Gees

***************

There’s a young girl lost
On the edge of town
Don’t see no future, it’s blind
Don’t give up
When you’re upside down
You just keep it inside…

You know we all cry…
When we’re alone
Someone like you
And the promise that we won’t be

Giving up the ghost
Giving up the ghost
Never you and I
Giving up the ghost

Giving up the ghost
We can never stop
Giving up the ghost

Don’t be a hero
In the name of love
Don’t leave me waiting in line
No ties that bind
No ball and chain
The ghost is waiting outside

I’m searching so high
I’m searching low
Someone like you
Baby I’m not…

Giving up the ghost
Giving up the ghost
Never you and I
Giving up the ghost

Giving up the ghost
We can never stop
Giving up the ghost

You know we all cry
When we are alone
Someone like you
We know oh,
I’m searching so high
I’m searching low
Someone like you
We know oh, oh, oh

Giving up the ghost
Giving up the ghost
Never you and I
Giving up the ghost

I LAUGH IN YOUR FACE

***************

The circus is coming to see you .
The elephant smiles.
Ev’rybody can hear you say that’s out of style.
My brother is friendly for reasons, if I am the same.
Just for four hundred seasons we all live in rain.

So I laugh in your face. Your only one race.
Yes I laugh in your face and I’m right.
You lie just like the rest. But there’s nobody best.
So I laugh in your face and I’m right.

I’ll pull out your plug so your small.
You’ll slide down the drain .
On the steps of St. Peter’s you all look the same.

So I laugh in your face. Your only one race.
Yes I laugh in your face and I’m right.
You lie just like the rest . But there’s nobody best.
So I laugh in your face and I’m right.

WHISPER WHISPER

***************

Whisper, whisper. What have you got ?
I got something that you need a lot .
Stop me and buy one.
You can see better but you better not.

Listen mister can you help me ?
It’s my sister . Show her how to fly.
Stop me and try one.
You can see ev’rything blowing by.

Whisper whisper. Keep it quiet.
If you like it you can try it too.
Stop me and buy one.
I am illegal that mean so are you

Whisper whisper what have you got?
I got something that you need a lot.
Stop me and buy one.
You can see better but you better not.
Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper

I am man and you are women.
Who needs marriage? We are humans all.
If I could please you, arouse and ease you ,
then it would please you if I should call.
Doesn’t matter what your name is.
I can do a million things to you .
No explanations; sexual patience.
Most of the nation’s doing it too.
No no no no no

ALONE

***************

I was a midnight rider on a cloud of smoke
I could make a woman hang on every single stroke
I was an iron manI had a master plan
But I was alone
I could hear you breathing with a sigh of the wind
I remember how your body started trembling
Oh what a night it’s been and for the state I’m in
I’m Still Alone
And all the wonders made for the Earth
And all the hearts in all creation
Somehow I always end up alone
Always end up alone
So I’ll play. I’ll wait
Cause you know that love takes time
We came so far
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it’s mine
I don’t want to be alone
Well, since I got no message on your answer phone
And since you’re bust every minute
I just stay at home, I make believe you care
I feel you everywhere
But I’m still alone
I’m on a wheel of fortune with a twist of fate
Cause I know it isn’t heaven, is it love or hate
Am I the subject of the pain
Am I the stranger in the rain
I am alone
And is there glory there to behold
Maybe it’s my imagination
Another story there to be told
So I’ll play. I’ll wait
And I’ll pray it’s not too late
You know we can so far
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it’s mine
I don’t want to be alone
And all the wonders made for the Earth
And all the hearts in all creation
Another story there to be told
So I’ll play. I’ll wait
And I’ll pray it’s not too late
We can so far
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it’s mine
I don’t want to be alone
Gone but not out of sight
I’m caught in the rain and there’s no one home
Face the heat of the night
The one that you love’s got a heart that’s made of stone
Shine and search for the light
And sooner or later you’ll be cruising on your ocean
And clean out of site
I’m caught in the rain and there’s no one home

CHARADE

***************

Some nights we made our love in the sand
And at the tide we held our love in our hands
And we listened to music the ocean was playing
The words that our two hearts were saying
That only two lovers can make
Let us ride on the wind while this moment is real

You’re the light of my life
You are welcome to my Charade
And this feeling knowing you blessed me forever

And believing I have been touched by your love
And the pleasure of knowing the evening won’t tare us apart

We can follow the sun till the day light is gone
We can gaze up the sky till the night is over

Light of my life
You are welcome to my Charade
And this feeling knowing you blessed me forever

We can follow the sun till the day light is gone
We can gaze at the sky till the night is over

Light of my life
You are welcome to my Charade

And this feeling knowing you blessed me forever
We can follow the sun till the day light is gone
We can gaze at the sky till the night is over
Light of my life
You are welcome to my Charade…
