LION IN WINTER
By
Bee Gees
***************
You wanna make me big man, a star on a screen.
Some kind of James Brown or something in between.
But when I ask for money you smother me in charms.
I can’t live on glory when your bendin’ both my arms.
I, I was a lion in winter.
And man I had friends for miles around.
I was a lion in my winter.
What good’s a lion Lord, without a crown.
You’re living in a cave man, upon your marble throne.
You think you own the heavens, but you’ve got to be alone.
You know I prayed for sunshine, a woman with my name.
I don’t want to live man, you gave away the game.
I, I was a lion in winter.
And man I had friends for miles around.
I was a lion in my winter.
What good’s a lion Lord, without a crown.
I STARTED A JOKE
***************
I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,
but I didn’t see that the joke was on me, oh no.
I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,
oh, if I’d only seen that the joke was on me.
I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I’d said.
Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
oh, if I’d only seen that the joke was on me.
I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I’d said.
‘Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
oh, if I’d only seen that the joke was one me.
MARLEY PURT DRIVE
***************
Sunday morning, woke up yawning; filled the pool for a swim.
Pulled down the head and looked in the glass just to see if I was in.
Went up the stairs and kissed my women to make her come alive.
‘Cause with fifteen kids and a fam’ly on the skids,
I got to go for a Sunday drive.
Fifteen kids and a fam’ly on the skids ,
I got to go for a Sunday drive.
That’s how they are, so I grabbed out the car;convertible fifty-nine.
Headed for the freeway; tried to find the Pasadena sign.
Ten miles and three quarters more I wasn’t feeling any more alive.
‘Cause with fifteen kids and a fam’ly on the skids,
I got to go for a Sunday drive.
Fifteen kids and a fam’ly on the skids,
I got to go for a Sunday drive.
I used to be a minstrel free with a whole lot of bread in my bag.
I used to feel that my life was real, but the good Lord threw me a snag.
Now I’m gonna be the same as me ,no matter how I try.
‘Cause with fifteen kids and a fam’ly on the skids,
I got to go for a Sunday drive.
Fifteen kids and a fam’ly on the skids,
I got to go for a Sunday drive.
Turned ’round the car and headed for home; I guess I realized my fate.
Ten miles and three quarters more I pulled up outside the gate.
Twenty more kids were stood inside and that made thirty-five.
‘Cause with an orphanage full of thirty-five kids,
I got to go for a Sunday drive.
An orphanage full of thirty-five kids ,
I got to go for a Sunday drive.
Sunday morning woke up yawning; filled the pool for a swim.
Pulled down the glass and looked in the mirror just to see if I was in .
Went up the stairs and kissed my women to make her come alive.
‘Cause with an orphanage full of thirty-five kids ,
I got to go for a Sunday drive.
And orphanage full of thirty-five kids,
I got to go for a Sunday drive.
KISS OF LIFE
***************
Never more aware of what you do
I got you leavin’ me and missing you
And me believing that you’ve never done right
When you’ve never done wrong
You been comin’ to me late at night
It’s not the eye alone that gives you sight
I’ve never given anybody my soul
But I’m coming undone
I’m a survivor but I’m reaching my low
But I’m not ready to die
I’m here for the kiss of life
I’m here for the kiss of life
Just give me the kiss of life
Watch them hold you
Count their faces
A never – ending line
But they’re only imitations
Existing out of time
So now you’re telling me it’s just a ring
You say it’s nothing but it’s everything
I’m under pressure and I’m under
Your gun and I’m fingers and thumbs
You got the questions and the answers
I know
I’m being buried alive
I’m here for the kiss of life
I’m here for the kiss of life
Just give me the kiss of life
I can’t stay here
Lost without you
Strangers in the dark
Holyangel
Living for you
To love and never cry
I’m a survivor but I’m reaching my low
But I’m not ready to die
I’m here for the kiss of life
I’m here for the kiss of life
Just give me the kiss of life
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
YOU STEPPED INTO MY LIFE
***************
You stepped into my life
And I’m oh, so happy.
You stepped into my life
And I’m oh, so happy.
You stepped into my life,
Stepped into my life
Stepped into my life
And I’m oh, so happy.
You stepped into my life
And I’m oh, so.
Before you came my way
I always checked this out;
So much pain in love
And so alone inside.
I never thought
that I’d believe in love so much.
But darling when you came close to me,
Suddenly, suddenly
You stepped into my life
And I’m oh, so happy.
You stepped into my life
And I’m oh, so happy.
You stepped into my life,
Stepped into my life
Stepped into my life
And I’m oh, so happy.
You stepped into my life
And I’m oh, so.
You will never know
What you have done, my love.
You gave me so much more
My love is worthy of.
Beneath my very soul
I kneel before your touch.
Your touch is ecstasy,
Close to me.
Suddenly, suddenly
You stepped into my life,
Stepped into my life
Stepped into my life
And I’m oh, so happy.
You stepped into my life…
