PLEASE READ ME
By
Bee Gees
***************
Many years ago I was a simple man
A simple man, no worries me;
I never lied
Please read me.
Not much conversation ever came from me,
I never saw reality;
I never tried.
Please read me.
Ah….
Maybe I’ve been lying on your couch too long
I’ll stay if you can see me through, explain why
Please read me. Please read me. Please read me.
JINGLE JANGLE
***************
Jingle jangle , my love wears silvery bangles
She likes to wander and that’s why I’m under
the spell of her jingle jangle
We used to cry on each others shoulder
Now that I’m older , she wanders ahead
Now that she’s found love , I still hear the sound of
silvery bangles , remain in my head
Jingle jangle , my love wears silvery bangles
She used to wander and that’s why I’m under
the spell of her jingle jangle
mmm…..
COME HOME JOHNNY BRIDE
***************
I’m full of pride and my heart feels good
Got news from my fam’ly up in the woods
At last I can go back where I belong
Sweated it all out for nine long years
Couldn’t believe the voice in my ears
When the man saying “No hiding ,son”
So I left the only folks I had known
I was fifteen then, hardly grown
When they found me in the swamp face down in the mud
Couldn’t get back and I couldn’t go far
Said to myself stay right where you are
Done found yourself a Ma and Pa
Ev’rybody said the kid’s no good
Come home Johnny Bride come home
Johnny Bride come home
We’re all wrong without you
How did we ever doubt you
He confessed to the killing
It’s his role we had you filling
We didn’t really mean to make you sad
But when you ran you made us think that you were twice as bad
I left the only folks I had known
I was fifteen then , hardly grown
When they found me in the swamp face down in the mud
Couldn’t get back and I couldn’t go far
Said to myself stay right where you are
Done found yourself a Ma and Pa
Ev’rybody said the kid’s no good
Come Home Johnny Bride come home
Johnny Bride come home
We’re all wrong without you
How did we ever doubt you
He confessed to the killing
It’s his role we had you filling
We didn’t really mean to make you sad
But when you ran you made us think that you were twice as bad
CLOSER THAN CLOSE
***************
She’ll read your mind, she’s smart as a whip
She’ll suck you dry, but look at how much I drip
At the point of ecstasy I write a symphony
Of poetry in motion and leavin me there to die
I tell myself let no one take her place
To confide in someone and look at how much I paid
I want you next to me, call it telepathy
We drift into vision and look how much we see
Ah….ah….
I just want to get closer than close to you
To the moment you discover
What the best of my love can do
And lovers fall for lovers friends
We make each other cry
Living in each others lives
And trying to make the fantasy come true
But, I just want to get closer than close to you, baby
I just want to get closer than close to you
Your soul is naked it tells you what it wants
I read your letter and look at how close I’ve come
There’s more for us to see in this philosophy
We both end up in heaven
And look at how close we’d be
Ah…ah…
I just want to get closer than close to you
I know that one way or another
Any test of my fate will do
I give my heart for you to break
I give my final breath
When nothing lasts forever see
What we can turn eternity into
And I just want to get closer than close to you, baby
I just want to get closer than close to you
IT’S JUST THE WAY
***************
It’s just the way that I feel about tomorrow.
I’ll be sad and alone all the time.
It’s just the way that you said you don’t love me anymore then ‘Goodbye’
I can’t believe what you’re saying.
You don’t love me anymore ‘Goodbye’.
Just the way that I feel about tomorrow.
Knowing you won’t be there by my side.
I wish that I could say to you; well, can’t we just be good friends?
Would you leave the door open, let me walk in again ?
That’s the way I been thinking ’bout tomorrow.
I only know that friends can’t be lovers again.
MY LIFE HAS BEEN A SONG
***************
Sweet simple song of diff’rent lights and diff’rent shades
The sound of life erupts and fades and all the world must play along
My life has been a song
Here as I sleep, the love I dream will gently creep
Inside my heart I softly keep the tune that plays too long
My life has been a song
Ev’ry sound in my head, ev’ry word that I said is like a melody melody
That no little person like me could ever change
Ev’ry sound in the street , all the cold and the heat
is like a symphony symphony
Which has never before been rearranged
Sweet simple song of diff’rent lights and diff’rent shades
The sound of life erupts and fades and all the world must play along
My life has been a song
Ev’ry sound in my head , ev’ry word that I said is like a melody melody
That no little person like me could ever change
Ev’ry sound in the street , all the cold and the heat
is like a symphony symphony
Which has never before been rearranged
Sweet simple song of diff’rent lights and diff’rent shades
The sound of life erupts and fades and all the world must play along
My life has been a song
Ev’ry sound in my head , ev’ry word that I said is like a melody melody
That no little person like me could ever change
Ev’ry sound in the street , all the cold and the heat
is like a symphony symphony
Which has never before been rearranged
