Spicks And Specks
(Barry Gibb)

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 street
And where are the friends I could meet, I could meet

Where are the girls I left far 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 far behind
The spicks and the specks of the girls on my mind
Where are the girls I left far 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 is gone, she is gone

All of my life I torn yesterday
The spicks and the specks of my life gone away
All of my life I torn yesterday
The spicks and the specks of my life gone away

Everybody
Spicks and specks, spicks and specks ....

from Spicks And Specks (Australia, 1966)

New York Mining Disaster 1941
(Barry & Robin Gibb)

In the event of something happening to me
There is something I would like you all to see
It's just a photograph of someone that I knew
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones

I keep straining my ears to hear a sound
Maybe someone is digging underground
Or have they given up and all gone home to bed
Thinking those who once existed must be dead
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones

In the event of something happening to me
There is something I would like you all to see
It's just a photograph of someone that I knew
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?

Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones

To Love Somebody
(Barry & Robin Gibb)

There's a light, a certain kinda light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you, lived with you
There's a way ev'rybody say
To do each and ev'ry little thing
But what does it bring if I ain't got you, ain't got

Baby, you don't know what it's like
Baby, you don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody the way I love you

Ooh, in my brain I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so so so weak and blind
I'm a man, can't you see what I am
I live and I breathe for you
But what good does it do, if I ain't got you, ain't got

Baby, you don't know what it's like
Baby, you don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody the way I love you
Oh baby, you don't know what it's like ....
No no no no no no, you don't know ....

from First (1967)

Massachusetts
(Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb)

Feel I'm goin' back to Massachusetts
Something's telling me I must go home
And the lights all went down in Massachusetts
The day I left her standing on her own

Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco
Gotta do the things I wanna do
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
They brought me back to see my way with you

Talk about the life in Massachusetts
Speak about the people I have seen
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
And Massachusetts is one place I have seen
I will remember Massachusetts ....

from Horizontal (1968)

World
(Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb)

Now I've found, that the world is round
And of course it rains everyday
Living tomorrow where in the world will I be tomorrow
How far am I able to see or am I needed here

Now I've found, that the world is round
And of course it rains everyday
If I remember all of the things I have done
I'd remember all of the times I've gone wrong
Why do they keep me here

Now I've found, that the world is round
And of course it rains everyday
And now I've found, that the world is round
And of course it rains everyday ...

from Horizontal (1968)

Words
(Barry & Maurice Gibb)

Smile an everlasting smile
A smile can bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you down
Cause that would bring a tear to me
This world has lost its glory
Let's start a brand new story now, my love
Right now, there'll be no other time
And I can show you how, my love

Talk in everlasting words
And dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my life
I'm here if you should call to me
You think that I don't even mean a single word I say
It's only words, and words are all I have
To take your heart away

You think that I don't even mean a single word I say
It's only words, and words are all I have
To take your heart away
It's only words, and words are all I have
To take your heart away
It's only words, and words are all I have
To take your heart away

I've Gotta Get A Message To You
(Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb)

The preacher taunted me and he smiled
Said, "come and walk with me
Come and walk one more mile
Now for once in your life you're alone
But you ain't got a dime, there's no time for the phone"

I've just got to get a message to you, hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on

I told him I'm in no hurry
But if I broke her heart, won't you tell her I'm sorry
And for once in my life I'm alone
And I've got to let her know just in time before I go

I've just got to get a message to you, hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on

Well I laughed but that didn't work
And it's only her love that keeps me wearing this hurt
Now I'm crying but deep down inside
Well I did it to him, now it's my turn to die

I've just got to get a message to you, hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on

from Idea (1968)

I Started A Joke
(Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb)

I started a joke, which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see that the joke was on me, oh no
I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing
Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I'd said
Til I finally died, which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I'd said
Til I finally died, which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me

'Til I finally died, which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was one me
Oh no, that the joke was on me

from Idea (1968)

First Of May
(Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb)

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall
We used to love while others used to play
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by
Some one else moved in from far away

Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small
And you don't ask the time of day
But you and I, our love will never die
But guess we'll cry come first of May

The apple tree that grew for you and me
I watched the apples falling one by one
And I recall the moment of them all
The day I kissed your cheek and you were mine
Now we are tall ...

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall
Do do do do do do do do do ...
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by
Some one else moved in from far away

from Odessa (1969)


Lamplight
(Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb)

Allons, viens encore, chérie
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?
Aah ...

Tomorrow Tomorrow
(Barry & Maurice Gibb)

Ooh every day you make me cry, girl
I cry too much
And today you say goodbye, girl
It's just too much

Hey, I swallowed each and every lie
That you gave to me
Where lies the man that I was
And the future that could never be?

Tomorrow every one gonna know me better
And tomorrow every one gonna drink my wine
And tomorrow every one gonna read my letter
And my story of love and a love that could never be mine

Ooh I ask you to be my wife, girl
You were playing
Now I ask you where is my life, girl?
You were saying

Hey, I swallowed each and every lie
That you gave to me
Where lies the man that I was
And the future that could never be?

Tomorrow every one gonna know me better
And tomorrow every one gonna drink my wine
And tomorrow every one gonna read my letter
And my story of love and a love that could never be mine

And tomorrow every one gonna know me better
And tomorrow every one gonna drink my wine
And tomorrow every one gonna read my letter
And my story of love and a love that could never be mine

Don't Forget To Remember
(Barry & Maurice Gibb)

Oh my heart won't believe that you have left me
I keep telling myself that it's true
I can get over anything you want my love
But I can't get myself over you

Don't forget to remember me
And the love that used to be
I still remember you, I love you
In my heart lies a memory
To tell the stars above
Don't forget to remember me, my love

On my wall lies a photograph of you girl
'Though I try to forget you somehow
You're the mirror of my soul
So take me out of my hole
Let me try to go on livin' right now

Don't forget to remember me ....
