HAUNTED HOUSE
By
Bee Gees

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

I know baby’s bad for my self-esteem
FInd another face for your sympathy
Some of us cry, some of them lie
But no one sees inside

The spark of baby’s eyes and I turn to stone
Maybe I can’t survive in the danger zone
Sounds of the night
Streets without light
And baby’s not alone

Try to hold her to myself
Someone else is breaking all my dreams, she
Needs so many games to play
One more time I climb the stairs
Open up the door and she was gone
And baby here I go

Like a lamb to slaughter
Don’t stop haunting me in this old house
I still love you when you’re not around
I’m still waiting for your midnight ride
I’ll still love you when it’s cold outside
Me so sorry that I let you down
But you keep haunting me in this old town

And the smile is no longer there
The face and the eyes and the hair
Nothing stands the test of time
You live forever, never mine
I cling to dreams that turn to sand
Our life is now a distant land

We commit emotional suicide
Every single room is electrified
Your memory shadowing me
The house where sorrow hides

Pull it down, blow it up
Help me send these walls of love away
And baby here I go

Like a lamb to slaughter
Don’t stop haunting me in this old house
I still love you when you’re not around
I’m still waiting for your midnight ride
I’ll still love you when it’s cold outside
Me so sorry that I let you down
But you keep haunting me in this old town

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.

STAYIN’ ALIVE

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

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I’m a woman’s man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm, I’ve been kicked around
Since I was born.
And now it’s all right. It’s OK.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
The New York Times’ effect on man.

Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother,
You’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Feel the city breakin’ and everybody shakin’,
And we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive.

Well now, I get low and I get high,
And if I can’t get either, I really try.
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes.
I’m a dancin’ man and I just can’t lose.
You know it’s all right. It’s OK.
I’ll live to see another day.
We can try to understand
The New York Times’ effect on man.

Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother,
You’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Feel the city breakin’ and everybody shakin’,
And we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive.

Life goin’ nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Life goin’ nowhere. Somebody help me, yeah.
Stayin’ alive.

NEW YORK MINING DISASTER 1941

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

In the event of something happening to me,
there is something I would like you all to see.
It’s just a photograph of someone that I knew.

Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it’s like on the outside?
Don’t go talking too loud, you’ll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones.

I keep straining my ears to hear a sound.
Maybe someone is digging underground,
or have they given up and all gone home to bed,
thinking those who once existed must be dead.

Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it’s like on the outside?
Don’t go talking too loud, you’ll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones.

VOICES

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

Sweet voices calling wild, echoing around this child
Sweet Faith I’ll be joining you, when my story’s over
Dee doo doo doo dah dee doo doo
doo doo doo dee doo doo doo dee doo dah day

Small secrets in the wind, blowing till the end begins
Oh my children stand by me till my story’s over
Dee doo doo doo dah dee doo doo
doo doo doo dee doo doo doo dee doo dah day

If I were you and you were me those voices they would cease to be
They won’t be free to torment me again
But in my bed again last night, those voices spoke of wrong and right
They spoke of darkness and of light
They spoke of weakness and of might
The spoke of people in the snow
And distant places long ago
The spoke of fire and falling rain
Of health and wealth and death and pain

Nah….

REMEMBERING

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

I never really want to be alone.
I had a woman once in my life and but now she’s flown.
Ev’ry night I keep seeing her face.

I never really broke her heart. She was a part of me.
But that’s the way it was now we live sep’ratly.
When will you walk through this door babe?
When you left I fell to pieces.
But now I feel as good as if I were dead.

I’ll keep remembering all my life.
Remembering when you were my wife.
Remembering all my life.
And I’m facing a life that I must go through remembering.

I first set my eyes on you one cold February.
You made me go out of my way to make me feel fine.
Oh but when will you walk through this door babe?
When you left I fell to pieces.
Now I feel as good as good as if I were dead.

I’ll keep remembering all my life.
Remembering when you were my wife.
Remembering all my life.
And I’m facing a life that I must go through remembering.
