RINGS AROUND THE MOON
By
Bee Gees

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

If you’re lonely in the black of night
If you call me, I’ll be there
I was falling and you helped me get it right
And I thank you girl, and I thank you

And I pray for the sign
And I won’t be too late

If you just come down
I can look you in the eye
I can tell you that I love you
And my love will never die
And it’s time that you know
Just how far I mean to go
We fly rings around the moon
We fly rings around the moon
We fly rings around the moon
We fly rings around the moon

Come tomorrow, candle burns
And I wake up by your side
All my sorrow, you made it disappear
And I thank you, and I thank you

And I lay down my life
And I won’t be alone

If you just take time
And be sure of who you are
We can take it up to heaven
We can walk amongst the stars
And I know if you stay
I will never turn away
We fly rings around the moon
We fly rings around the moon
We fly rings around the moon
We fly rings around the moon

And I pray for the sign
And I won’t be too late

If you just take time
And be sure of who you are
We can take it up to heaven
We can walk amongst the stars
And I know if you stay
I will never turn away
We fly rings around the moon
We fly rings around the moon
We fly rings around the moon
We fly rings around the moon

METHOD TO MY MADNESS

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

I’ve played the game, still it’s not worth it
Like a woman in the rain
I close my eyes
I’m on the shelf
I know myself

I’ve seen the lights of ev’ry city
Tried to work out where I am
I close my mind for the day
I know the way

I’ve played the game, still it’s not worth it
Like a woman in the rain
So I close my eyes
I’m on the shelf
I know my self

There’s never ever anybody to rely on
There isn’t time to count the shoulders I have cried on
That’s just circumstances, I must take my chances
But, baby you don’t know what I’m saying
But I guess that’s not true
And you know that’s true
But there’s a method to my madness

I’ve played the game, still it’s not worth it
Like a woman in the rain
So I close my eyes for the day
I know the way

BORN A MAN

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

When I was just a little boy , when I didn’t know
My daddy put me n his knee and showed me the way to go
He said “a woman will do her best to make a fool out of you
So be a man and stand the test and see what you can do”.

I’m glad I am born a man
I’m glad I am born a man

If you got what it takes my boy
You can always choose
Work it out before it’s too late my boy
Make sure you never lose

I’m glad I am born a man
I’m glad I am born a man

Born a man

Ev’ry woman wants her man to live and learn on her land
Where I go , baby you go
Arrangement , man and wife

I’m glad I am born a man
I’m glad I am born a man

Born a man

HAD A LOT OF LOVE LAST NIGHT

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

Ah, I had a lot of love last night
Ah…
Ah, I had a lot of love last night
Ah..
Ah…

I’ve given all my love away and I’ve been left with none
But can you say that I’m to blame for loving anyone
I used to think that I was always older then my time
We’re all breaking promises , who will cry this time
We’re all breaking promises , who will cry this time

Ah, I had a lot of love last night
(had a lot a lot of love)
Ah…..
Ah , I had a lot of love last night
(had a lot a lot of love)
Ah…

I’m casting all my dreams hereto , my fish have gone to sea
And fate no longer has the faith to walk ahead of me
I always used to think that I was better then my kind
We’re all breaking promises , who will cry this time
We’re all breaking promises , who will cry this time

Ah , I had a lot of love last night (had a lot a lot of love)
Ah , I had a lot of love last night

WIND OF CHANGE

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

In the streets of New York City
ev’ry man can feel the cold.
And I don’t want no pity,
but I want my story told.

When the lights shine down on me,
they shine on the little boy.
Is this way to make him pay;
be’ng born in a world of joy.

But like me
he don’t know where he’ll go wrong;
he won’t cry so many tears
till he finds out why he don’t belong like me.

there’s no room for us out there;
you can lose your hope and pride.
When it comes to broken dreams
you’ll get your share.
Sometime a man breaks down,
and the good thing he is looking for
are crushed into the ground.

Get on up, look around;
can’t you feel the wind of change?
Get on up, taste the air;
can’t you see the wind of change;

Don’t you understand what I’m sayin’,
we need a god down there.
A man to lead us children,
take us from the valley of fear.

Make the lights shine down on us,
show us the road to go.
Help us survive, make us arrive,
teach us what we need to know.

But like me
he don’t know where he’ll go wrong;
he won’t cry so many tears
till he finds out why he don’t belong like me.

there’s no room for us out there;
you can lose your hope and pride.
When it comes to broken dreams
you’ll get your share.
Sometime a man breaks down,
and the good thing he is looking for
are crushed into the ground.

Get on up, look around;
can’t you feel the wind of change?
Get on up, taste the air;
can’t you see the wind of change;

Get on up …

ORDINARY LIVES

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

There’ll be one small light
all over the world tonight.
The search go on for the one,
it was love with no name
and we glowed in the sun.
There was one small dream
incredible highs and lows,
what little we knew living ordinary lives.
Made a dream for you, living ordinary lives.

Ordinary people living ordinary lives.
Ordinary people living ordinary lives.

We were be one small light
all over the world tonight.
The search go on for the one,
it was love with no name
and we glowed in the sun.
There was one small dream
incredible highs and lows,
what little we knew living ordinary lives.
Made a dream for you, living ordinary lives.

We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.

The clock on the wall keeps moving,
time stands still,
no matter how the dice may fall,
someone else always gets to call the number.

Say goodbye cruel world
No pity no pain tonight
Whatever the cost all is lost
If this is love with no name
Then it’s all in the stars
Whether it’s wrong or right
There’s no one to blame no lies
What else could we do
Living ordinary lives
Made a dream for you
Living ordinary lives.
