SUCH A SHAME
By
Bee Gees
***************
All that I hear doesn’t feel right. Don’t
call me ’till you’re all right. I listened
and I heard but don’t tell me. La de da.. Once in a
while he says good night. Will I care if
sometimes he is right? What a shame, it’s
the same each day. La de da… Oh how I
tried! I just sat
and then I cried. Maybe I’m wrong
or will I find out when I’m gone? There is so much fun
in my leisure. Don’t bother me, man, just stay there. If it’s a sin, I’ll
convert me astray. La de da… Come be home with me,
it’s not a shame for you to
see Oh
let it be and you’ll miss reality.
BACKTAFUNK
***************
You’re gonna fix my heart
You’re gonna free my soul
Not many learn what
The two of us can do
Or what we do it for
Sign my name
I’m gonna join your club
You give me love and there’s
Two of us to feel
Just say the word
And I’m giving my love to you
You got me backtafunk
And I’m still turning
Got me backtafunk
And I’m still turning
I can’t explain, no alibi
The rhythm got me paralyzed
You got me
You call it deja vu
Of being there before
So many lose what
The few of us can find
And never mention
You’re gonna break my will
You’re gonna take me down
So many pay
When the two of us can steal
So give what I want
And I could be a king for you
You got me
Backtafunk
And I’m still turning
Got me backtafunk
And I’m still turning
You got me backtafunk
I was so disorganized
Rhythm cut me down to size
You got me
Help me I’m in trouble deep
High as I can go
It’s no crime
There may be love on the street
And I’m bad enough
You got me drowning in my sleep
But I will find you when I wake
And it’s time
You got me backtafunk
Backtafunk to back
Backtafunk
Backtafunk to back
Backtafunk
Backtafunk to back
Backtafunk
Oh, oh I’m still turning
Backtafunk
Oh, oh I’m still burning
Backtafunk
Oh, oh I’m still learning
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
BAD BAD DREAMS
***************
I’ve got a notion to live in an ocean of bad bad dreams
No consolation to mixed conversation in bad bad dreams
You know we’re all alike
We can shout and scream and yell all night
It’s just a bad bad dream
Feel like I’m crying, there’s no use denying it’s all been done
For your information we still own the nation, the war’s been won
You know you’re far too late
Your only hangup is you hesitate
It’s just a bad bad dream
Bad bad bad dream
Bad bad bad dream
Bad bad bad dream
Bad bad bad dream
I’m getting it to you so you get it through you and make your choice
People start playing and back what you’re saying in just one voice
You know you’re all insane, it doesn’t matter how you play the game
It’s just a bad bad dream
Bad bad bad dream
Bad bad bad dream
Bad bad bad dream
Bad bad bad dream
Bad bad bad dream
I CAN’T SEE NOBODY
***************
I walk the lonely streets; I watch the people passing by.
I used to smile and say hello. Guess I was just a happy guy.
Then you happened,girl, this feeling that posessses me.
I just can’t move myself. I guess it all just had to be.
I can’t see nobody…no, I can’t see nobody.
Mine eyes can only look at you…you.
I used to have a brain; I used to think of many things.
I watched the falling rain and listened to the sweet birds sing.
Don’t ask me why, little girl. I love you and that’s all I can say.
You’re ev’ry ,ev’ry breath I take.You are my nights; my night and day.
Every single word you hear…is coming from this heart of mine.
I never felt like this before…a love like yours so young and fine.
And now as I try to forget you…it doesn’t work out any way.
I loved you such a long time ago…but in my eyes you’ll always be.
Every single word you hear…is coming from this heart of mine.
I loved you such a long time ago…don’t know why…
And I don’t know why…baby…
PAPER MACHE, CABBAGES & KINGS
***************
Na na na na na na na na na
Paper mache and telegraph poles
Things go dead in the night
Make enough noise to make enough noise
to make you want to jump with fright
Elephant’s tusks and autograph books ,people you don’t meet
Haven’t got a bed to lay my head , shoes to fit my feet
Don’t be scared
You’re better off then nothing
You’re answering to no one
Paper mache
Paper mache and telegraph poles
Thing go dead in the night
Make enough noise to make enough noise
to make you want to jump with fright
Elephant’s tusks and autograph books, people you don’t meet
Haven’t got a bed to lay my head, shoes to fit my feet
Don’t be scared
You’re better off then nothing
You’re answering to no one
Paper mache
All of a sudden it happened
When you did what you said you’d do
And you broke my heart in two
Like paper mache
All of a sudden it happened, oh…
You came into my life
Like paper mache you broke my heart
Like paper mache, paper mache
Like paper mache
Paper mache and telegraph poles
Things go dead in the night
Make enough noise to make enough noise
to make you wanna jump with fright
Elephant’s tusks and autograph books
People you don’t meet
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang
Jimmy was everywhere
Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang
Jimmy was everywhere
