TOKYO NIGHTS
By
Bee Gees
***************
You’re crossing the water
for eastern delights,
’cause now that you’re gone
I feel like a stranger in New York tonight.
And the rhythm was new to me,
Tokyo nights
well she came in the night,
and she came in the night.
And the vision was true to me,
Tokyo nights.
Well she came for the moment
and stayed till the end wee ah.
Take me to Tokyo.
ooh wee ah.
Take me to Tokyo.
I was lonely in western days
Tokyo nights
Well she took me away, by saving life
I was down in the rising sun
Tokyo night
Well I came for the moment, and
Stayed till the end. (ooh)
Take me to Tokyo.
ooh wee ah.
Take me to Tokyo.
I am calling you,
Take me to Tokyo,
ooh wee ah.
Take me to Tokyo.
ooh wee ah.
HOW MANY BIRDS
***************
I was so lonely without you baby, don’t know what I’m gonna do
I’m goin’ crazy without you baby, look at what I’m goin’ through
How many times must I tell you I love
Tell you I love you times before
Don’t believe that I’m worth all your kisses
I’m worth more then this , but you ignore
How many birds will I see high and flying
How many birds will it take till I get you
I will be crying, yeah
Maybe tomorrow you’ll come walkin’ my way
Come talkin’ my way , you’ll find out
My love for you will be stronger then truer
I’ll look at you and there’s no doubt
How many birds will I see high and flying
How many birds will it take till I get you
I will be crying, yeah
I was so lonely without you baby, don’t know what I’m gonna do
I’m going crazy without you baby, look at what I’m goin’ through
Baby, baby, baby
PROMISE THE EARTH
***************
It’s not worth one night on earth
Baby I know, baby I know
I won’t know whose lips you’re kissing
Baby I know
You don’t know what you have done
Baby I know, baby don’t go
You don’t know what you are missing
Baby and so
There’s not a sacrifice too strong
I’ve been alone for far too long
I’d be a fool to fail, I follow you
You must believe
Promise the earth
Give her the ocean
A kiss on the wind, goes straight to the heart
Promise the earth
With tears of emotion
If fate is a force that tears you apart
Please believe me, I would sell my soul for you
It’s not too late
And we can turn back the time
Baby I know
I lay down with you in dreams
Baby I know, baby don’t go
I was driven by this vision
Baby and so
If I could testify to you
Then I could prove my aim is true
If I am guilty or I’m innocent
You must believe
Promise the earth
Give her the ocean
A kiss on the wind, goes straight to the heart (baby believe)
Promise the earth
With tears of emotion
If fate is a force that tears you apart
You know I’m only human, so what am I supposed to say
‘Course I’m gonna miss you, and curse the day you went away
What I would surrender, if I could make you turn around
The world we’ve got together, forever is on solid ground
Oooh, baby don’t go
Baby don’t go
Baby don’t go
Baby
You’re part of every dream
Before the dawn
You must believe
Promise the earth
Give her the ocean
A kiss on the wind, goes straight to the heart (make her believe)
Promise the earth
With tears of emotion
If fate is a force that tears you apart
Baby believe
Promise the earth
Give her the ocean
A kiss on the wind, goes straight to the heart
Promise the earth
With tears of emotion
If fate is a force that tears you apart
Baby believe
Promise the earth
Promise the earth
Promise the earth
Promise the earth
You better believe
THIS IS YOUR LIFE
***************
Something that I hunger for
Something you deny
You say I’m bad for you
And baby so do I
Don’t you know that all you gotta do
You could be a lover
And baby this is
This is your life
Don’t break it
It’s who you do it for
It’s the pain and pleasure
This is your life
Temptation
A victim of the law
We can talk about it
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This is your life
This is your life
If you try to help someone
You get the evil eye
You say you suffocate
Well baby so do I
Don’t you know that all you gotta do
You could be a lover
And baby this is
This is your life
Don’t hide it
Don’t try to mystify
How soft the flesh is
This is your life
Get even, even if you die
Don’t run for cover
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This is your life
Temptation
That’s who you do it for
It’s the pain and the pleasure
This is your life
Temptation
A victim of the law
We can talk about it
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This is your life
Define ourselves
As something in space
Not enough for everyone
Everyone and as we speak
The enemy is the mind
I see the future coming for you
All the lonely days and the lonely nights
You’ve been searching for a love so right
It’s a tragedy just stayin’ alive
Stayin’ alive
And all that
Jive talking
What you doing on your back
Jive talking
More rap less crap
Times are bad, money is tight
Ain’t too much heaven on
A Saturday night
Tell me now how deep is your love
The heart is soft
But the brain is tough
The enemy is the mind
Don’t let the future fall apart
This is my world too, just run to me
If you ever wanna mend that broken heart
I have seen those nights on Broadway too
Blaming it all
What about you
This is your life
This is your life
Don’t hide it
Don’t try to mystify
How soft the flesh is
This is your life
It’s who you do it for
It’s the pain and pleasure
This is your life
Temptation
This is your life
SPICKS AND SPECKS
***************
Where is the sun
That shone on my head
The sun in my life
It is dead
it is dead
Where is the light
That would play
In my streets
And where are the friends
I could meet
I could meet
Where are the girls
I left all behind
The spicks and the specks
Of the girls on my mind
Where is the sun
That shone on my head
The sun in my life
It is dead
it is dead
Where are the girls
I left all behind
The spicks and the specks
Of the girls on my mind
Where is the girl I loved
all along
The girl that I loved
she’s gone
she’s gone
All of my life
I call yesterday
The spicks and the specks
of my life ‘ve gone away
All of my life
I call yesterday
The spicks and the specks
of my life ‘ve gone away
Spicks and Specks!
WILL YOU EVER LET ME
***************
I’ve come to feel that you’re a blessing in disguise,
find a way of making sure.
Is what you show to me the devil in your eyes,
are you the killer or the cure.
I could be the fire you start
at just the mention of your name.
I rise and I rise up to heaven my love,
and let you shoot me down in flames
you don’t take me serious,
too insane to see you’re just too good to be true,
and I don’t sympathise with those
who crawl home to you.
Your head is on the line, you find no other love
and I would go through hell for you,
tell me will you ever let me in.
Tell me, will you ever let me in?
Maybe the trick is to be
Taken by surprise
And lady be wise, beware
The way to make you make that
Final sacrifice
The dream is real for those who dare.
I will redefine your life
We remember till we die
When love is in motion who needs
More than this
And soon we know what passion is
All is fair in love and war
It’s what I’m fighting for, but you’re just too good
to be true,
and I don’t sympathise with those
who crawl home to you.
Your head is on the line, you find no other love
and I would go through hell for you,
tell me will you ever let me in.
Tell me, will you ever let me in?
I will be the fire you start
at just the mention of your name.
All is fair in love and war,
you know what I’m fighting for,
love has shot me serious,
right between the eyes,
you’re just too good
to be true,
and I don’t sympathise with those
who crawl home to you.
Your head is on the line, you find no other love
and I would go through hell for you,
tell me will you ever let me in.
Tell me, will you ever let me in?
Tell me will you ever let me in
Tell me will you ever let me …
