PLAYDOWN
By
Bee Gees
***************
I’m not a ghost , I am a man
I only do the best I can
Believin’ I will find a way
It’s just a price that you must pay
For my friends , they put me down
So I go from town to town
They all say that I’m a clown
They play high and I play
They play high and I play
I play the game , I see the light
I walk in day , you walk in night
Believe me boy, it ain’t no good
In doin’ what you never should
All my friends, they put me down
So I go from town to town
They all say that I’m a clown
They play high and I play down
They play high and I play
nah……
All my friends , they put me down
So I go from town to town
They all say that I’m a clown
They play high and I play down
They play high and I play
KITTY CAN
***************
Eve never pleases me and Kitty can
Eve never pleases me and Kitty can
When Kitty smiles, the world stands still
I see a thousand golden daffodils
But when she cries, the world just dies
I see a million tears in Kitty’s eyes
Eve never pleases me and Kitty can
Eve never pleases me and Kitty can
Ah, ah, ah ah ah
Now Eve is bad and treats me cruel
She loves to see me looking like a fool
I find a way with words I say
To be in love in such a lonely way
Eve never pleases me and Kitty can
Eve never pleases me and Kitty can
Ah, ah, ah ah ah
Now they are two and I am one
I cannot fall in love with everyone
So I must choose between the two
Made up my mind, now I am choosing you
Eve never pleases me and Kitty can
Eve never pleases me and Kitty can
Ah, ah, ah ah ah
LOST IN YOUR LOVE
***************
I was lost in your love
I was held by your heart
And no secrets stood between us anymore
I’m like a child learning pain
I was held by your chains
And my darling , I was lost in your love
There’s been a diff’rence of opinion to the way I’ve been treating you
But you know that I’ve tried to apologize,
for all the bad times I’ve put you through
On the chance that I could make you mine
There’s not a thing I would not do
And wrong or right I’ll be with you and lost in your love
I was lost in your love
I was held by your heart
And no secrets stood between us anymore
I’m like a child learning pain
I was held by your chains
And my darling , I was lost in your love
Now I will follow you where the wild bird flies
Through endless skies I will go
So I can be so near you girl and all of this you gotta know
That when I get you here inside my arms
I never ever ever will let you go
And wrong or right I’ll be with you and lost in your love
I was lost in your love
I was held by your heart
And no secrets stood between us anymore
I’m like a child learning pain
I was held by your chains
And my darling I was lost in your love
LAMPLIGHT
***************
Alons, viens encore, cherie.
J’attendrai patiemment sous la lampe dans la vieille avenue.
Then I may end.
She had things to buy.
I close my eyes .
Yet I don’t know why.
I gave her money; said she knew someone.
And she said she won’t be long.
Lamplight keep on burning while this heart of mine is yearning.
Lamplight keep on burning till this love of yours is mine.
I sat alone with my thoughts and laughed .
Then saw your face in an old photograph.
I didn’t think that I could live without you but what am I to do ?
Lamplight keep on burning while this heart of mine is yearning.
Lamplight keep on burning till this love of yours is mine
Come home again dear. I have waited year after year
under the lamp in our old avenue.
If all in the world that’s laughing, why should it make us cry?
Ah…
PORTRAIT OF LOUISE
***************
Summers come and summers go
But I still need the rain
All your vines will overgrow
and winds will blow insane
But I’m not goin’ to move
And I won’t make you cry
You can shelter in my home
And I won’t ask you why
Friends will come and friends will go
But you stay on my train
All your wines will overflow
As winds will blow insane
But I’m not goin’ to move
And I won’t make you cry
You can shelter in my home
And I won’t ask you why
You can shelter in my home
And I won’t ask you why
GIVING UP THE GHOST
***************
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
