IN MY OWN TIME
By
Bee Gees
***************
I received an invitation;
‘Come to the United Nations.’
That was when I was somebody.
In my own time.
Sitting selling hot cross buns,
Thousand suckers ev’ryone.
Sounds like a nurs’ry rhyme.
In my own time.
Even when the lights go out.
Still got things to think about.
Memories I can’t call mine.
In my own time.
My own time.
My own time.
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.
YOU WIN AGAIN
***************
I couldn’t figure why
You couldn’t give me what everybody needs
I shouldn’t let you kick me when I’m down
My baby
I find out everybody know that
You’ve been using me
I’m surprised you
Let me stay around you
One day I’m gonna lift the cover
And look inside your heart
We gotta level before we go
And tear this love apart
There’s no fight you can’t fight
This battle of love with me
You win again
So little time
We do nothing but compete
There’s no life on earth
No other could see me through
You win again
Some never try
But if anybody can, we can
And I’ll be, I’ll be
Following you
Oh baby I shake you from now on
I’m gonna break down your defenses
One by one
I’m gonna hit you from all sides
Lay your fortress open wide
Nobody stops this body from
Taking you
You better beware, I swear
I’m gonna be there one day when you fall
I could never let you cast aside
The greatest love of all
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
HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE
***************
I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
And it’s me you need to show
How Deep Is Your Love
How deep is your love, How deep is your love
I really need to learn
‘Cause we’re living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You’re the light in my deepest darkest hour
You’re my saviour when I fall
And you may not think
I care for you
When you know down inside
That I really do
And it’s me you need to show
How Deep Is Your Love
How deep is your love, How deep is your love
I really need to learn
‘Cause we’re living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
And it’s me you need to show
How Deep Is Your Love
How deep is your love, How deep is your love
I really need to learn
‘Cause we’re living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
BIRDIE TOLD ME
***************
Birdie told me I must get over you somehow.
And she told me never to think of you right now.
But it’s hopeless to say how can I forget the way she used to love me.
I think about her in my time, know in my mind it’s over.
Looks like falling, heaven is calling my name to me.
Funny faces loving the traces left for me.
But it’s hopeless to say how can I forget the way she used to love me.
I think about her in my time, know in my mind it’s over.
