GLASS HOUSE
By
Bee Gees
***************
Glass house, that once was mine , the sun will shine in on me
You, change your mind, you weren’t the kind to live on me
I remember yesterday , turn my tears to laugher
Then you left and like a stray, I came running after
I remember you at night, palm trees softly swaying
I remember all the words you were softly saying
Glass house upon the hill so big and still, the shady lane
It’s ours , my love , until the day we say auf wiedersehen
MASSACHUSETTS
***************
Feel I’m goin’ back to Massachusetts,
Something’s telling me I must go home.
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
The day I left her standing on her own.
Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco,
Gotta do the things I wanna do.
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
They brought me back to see my way with you.
Talk about the life in Massachusetts,
Speak about the people I have seen,
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
And Massachusetts is one place I have seen.
I will remember Massachusetts…
LOOSE TALK COSTS LIVES
***************
Loose talk costs lives
People like to play
We’re basically the same
We never lie
Loose talk costs lives
Don’t look at me as if you don’t remember me at all
There was laughter, there was pain
But I won’t make the same mistakes I made
You are too beautiful to me
I hide my tears inside the rain
Am I the soul you cast your spell upon
I had control and now it’s gone
Or are you someone who controls my heart and mind
And I will never say a word
And I will never say goodbye
Loose talk costs lives
People like to play
We’re basically the same
We never lie
Loose talk costs lives
I can see that someone hung a sign around your heart
And it reads “do not return”
And there is so much trouble I could cause
Someone as beautiful as you
You can feel my candle burn
And I still recall some starry night
We had it all, we held on tight
I promised I would come to you and catch you if you fall
And they will never know about us
For just one moment you were mine
Loose talk costs lives
People like to play
We’re basically the same
We never lie
Loose talk costs lives
For just one moment, just one moment, you were mine
Loose talk costs lives
(Our moment held in time)
People like to play
We’re basically the same
We never lie
Loose talk costs lives
Loose talk costs lives
People like to play
We’re basically the same
We never lie
Loose talk costs lives
THE WAY IT WAS
***************
I don’t know how, but nights get lonely now
They keep appearing in my eyes
Such a warm and tender glow
For just one moment I remember all
The love we had was never all that bad
There were smiles and there were tears
On that special starry night, with your arms around me
Held on tight
Wasn’t that the way it was?
Two strangers reaching for a worthless cause
Wasn’t that the love we shared?
Or just the restless years when no-one cared
I don’t know why, it’s hard to say goodbye
Or even justify the end
You meant so very much to me
Then to let you go, start my life again
The love we had was never all that bad
There were smiles and there were tears
Till that special summer day
When I reached out for you, you just walked away
Wasn’t that the way it was?
Two strangers reaching for a worthless cause
Wasn’t that the love we shared?
Or just the restless years when no-one cared
When you move it like you really know how to move me
I follow you wherever you go
I just wan
DEAREST
***************
I hear you calling me ‘dearest’ too.
My dearest, I’m nearest, then I’ve ever been before
To have you calling me ‘dearest’ once more.
My dearest, this picture, my own memory.
Wishing this picture was reality.
Where do I go from here? The Lord took you away.
And if you could see my today, I will remember you.
I will remember you
My dearest, sincerest, there’s no one but you and
Here in my heart you’re my dearest too.
Where do I go from here? The Lord took you away.
And if you could see me today, I will remember you.
I will remember you.
My dearest, sincerest, there’s no one but you and
Here in my heart you’re my dearest too.
I HELD A PARTY
***************
I held a party and nobody came
Strangely I was upset
Poured out a drink and then Birkworth approached saying
“Have no regrets. Maybe your gentle friends had some delay.
Don’t try to take on the world”
Made up my bed and decided to sleep
Dreaming I was awake
Maybe I drank an excess of my drink
Nice clan, cordial crowd
Birkworth suggested we sleep through the night
I never knew him so well
Ah…..
