<compilation>
(1998)
Sitting here, all alone, 
wondering what to do. 
Life went faster than the time. 
I had to achieve the things I had in mind. 

Their disguise, I see with my eyes 
many things I should have realized 
a long time ago, long long time ago. 

Never changing, ever aging. 
It drags from day to day. 
I wish that I had found myself 
before it robbed me of the time. 

Oh no, oh no. 
I should have realized 
a long long time ago, 
a long time ago, 
a long time ago. 

Seeing things, open doors. 
People invited me into. 
Oh, they were so good to me. 
And always helped me on my way. 

Then I woke from this dream, 
Knowing that I should have realized 
a long time ago, 
long long time ago. 

Another day, another way. 
I don’t care what people say. 
No, I realize that there’s no other way for me. 

Suppose I’ll just have to live from day to day. 
Oh no, oh no. 
I should have realized. 
A long long time ago. 
A long time ago. 
A long time ago.

Transcript by Luis Alberto Gonzales

Oh… 
What it is to be lonely: 
Deep in the green grass 
Of the valley of fear. 
One time long ago, 
I tried so hard to reach you, 
A song I tried to teach you, 
But you were never there. 

Deep in the sleep I’m under, 
There is the sound of a lonely violin. 
Not even now there’s nothing I’d be taking. 
What world am I forsaking 
When you were never there? 
Now let it all begin. 
I wanna hear it, now, let it all begin. 
Bring me the sound of a lonely violin. 

Oh… 
What it is to be lonely: 
Deep in the green grass 
Of the valley of fear. 
One time long ago, 
I tried so hard to reach you, 
A song I tried to teach you, 
But you were never there. 
Now, let it all begin. 
I wanna hear it now let it all begin. 
Bring me the sound of a lonely violin.

Written by:Barry Gibb(1966) 

Lead vocals:Sandy Summers 

Album:Assault the vaults(1998)

Just before you break my heart, 
I feel that there is something I must say, 
before you go your way. 
Go on, have your fun and see if you can break 
their hearts like me.
Big man, you’ll never understand… 

That a girl needs to love and be loved as I. 
Both your hearts should be in the sky. 
And you know that it’s true (you know that it’s true) 
when it happens to you (when it happens to you). 

Though I really care for you 
I think it’s only fair for you to try. 
Go ahead and say goodbye. 
Maybe one day when you fall, I think that I 
shall tell them all and so, oh maybe then you’ll know… 

That a girl needs to love and be loved as I. 
Both your hearts should be in the sky. 
And you know that it’s true (you know that it’s true)
when it happens to you (when it happens to you). 

Go on have your fun and see 
if you can break their hearts like me. 
Big man, you’ll never understand… 

That a girl needs to love and be loved as I. 
Both your hearts should be in the sky. 
And you know that it’s true (you know that it’s true)

Album:
Released as b-side (1993)
I’ve discovered for myself this time
the start of everything to me
is to know our love is older than the sea.
But don’t let another flame inside your fire-proof heart
‘cause I’m not your full-time lover
and it’s tearing me apart.
And I’ve been hanging on this line too long.

855-7019 Don’t you ever answer?
855-7019 Don’t you hear the word?
Search for a sign, baby.
She was the past and the future.
I just got burnt.

855-7019 Is a private number?
I know in your mind that you think
it’s a crime, but I had to call.
First and last, there will
never be a past or a future
if you kill my phone.

Baby lifts her eyes
and I’m a slave to all the lies,
and I’m forever lost.
Oh. I believe in you and me
together and it keeps this love alive.

855-7019 Don’t you ever answer?
855-7019 Don’t you hear the word?
Search for the sign, baby.
She was the past and the future.
I just got burnt.

I have suffered for my sins today,
with the pain of love,
before the dawning comes,
the darker is the night.

I’m born to be the one to share your life.
That shows I don’t need no operator.
I don’t want no one to know
how much I need you.

855-7019 Don’t you ever answer?
I know in your mind that you think
it’s a crime, but I had to call.
First and the last, there will
never be a past or a future
if you kill my phone.

Baby lifts her eyes and I’m a slave to all the lies,
and I’m forever lost.
Oh. I believe in you and me together,
and it keeps this love alive.

Album:
2 years on (1970)
One year, two years, time goes by.
People laugh and people cry.
 
Every morning the clock strikes eight.
I go to work. I close the gate.
And on my way, I sing a song,
about my wife, where I belong.
 
If the clouds get together
and talk about the weather,
if it’s rain they anticipate,
baby, make no mistake.
 
Yes the storm will break
but never me, you see.
Two years on.
Two years on.
But only you can see me,
only you can see me.
 
For what I’ve got
Sir Lancelot
was just a dream
and I am not.
For I am he
with something more,
it’s you and I
reality.
 
If the clouds get together
and talk about the weather,
if it’s rain they anticipate,
baby, make no mistake.
 
Yes the storm will break
but never me, you see.
Two years on.
Two years on.
But only you can see me,
only you can see me.
Two years on.
Two years on.
Ah….

I’m so weary from holding this load,but it’s only my love for you that I walk this lonely road,I must follow the wind, follow the wind,and the wind will take me hold before the cold. Every star I have counted,each flower I have seen,but the place where I’m going, there’s no grass as green,I must follow the wind, follow the wind,and the wind will take me home where I can dream. In the hour I am lonely, your love will be mine,I will stay in your arms dear, until comes the time.I must be on my way for my home is anywhere.I have no time to stay, I have no time to care.I must follow the wind, follow the wind,as the wind gently blows in my hair. I must follow the wind, follow the wind,as the wind gently blows in my hair.I must follow the wind, follow the wind,as the wind gently blows in my hair.

You just won’t listen to my pleas,

Wine and women and song will only make me sad.
Love and kisses and hugs, the things I never had.
If this should end, I don’t mind.
If this should end, I will find.
What shall I do (what shall I do).
What shall I do (what shall I do).
Cars and buses and trams make a lot of noise.
All my women have gone out with other boys.
If this should end, I don’t mind.
If this should end, I will find.
I won’t complain (I won’t complain).
I feel no pain (I feel no pain).
Ooh..

Ah……
Well, I’ve been working up a fever trying to
straighten up the mess in my mind about this place,
I can’t contain myself anymore,
can’t you see it’s written all over my face?
Why don’t you get on your feet?
It’s about time you got to think
whatever happened to peace?
Well, open your eyes and you’ll see children laughing,
voices singing, hearts beating.

You’re always talking right and talking about
the world and its corruption and moral decay,
but what you gonna do about it? Nothing,
‘cause you’re more like children than children while they play,
Why you’re so clean through and through you won’t shake hands
with a negro who’s maybe cleaner than you.
Well, listen around and you’ll hear children laughing,
voices singing, hearts beating like they always do,
so what’s wrong with you?

You’re so blown up with anger about the world,
you write the songs about it all,
yet you don’t even know your neighbour’s name.
And now you want to go to the moon and live there,
when you know it’ll only end up the same.
How can he give you any gratitude,
with your endless sickening attitude?
You strive to get ahead
but you leave each other dead.
Can’t you see children laughing,
voices singing, hearts beating like they always do?
So what’s wrong with you?

Children laughing, voices singing hearts beating.
Children laughing, voices singing, hearts…

Could it be I’m in love with you?

I love you every way.
I saw you standing there,
you gave me cause to stare,
and then I knew I had to have you.
You could be mine if you tried.
All that you do is tell me lies.
(Ah) You think that love’s a game

(Ah) I should have known
(Ah) that I’d get the pain.
How love was true yesterday.
I love you every way.

You get your pleasures out of hurting me, honey.
You get your kicks out of watching me cry.
You play around an awful lot to hurt me, honey.
Why do you laugh when there are tears in my eyes?

I don’t think it’s funny, honey.
My skies
are not so sunny.
Why don’t you make up your mind?
Let me put my arms around you,
make rainbows all around you
but I don’t know if you are mine.

If I was yours and you were mine, my little honey,
we could be happy till the very day I die,
but all you ever want to do is hurt me, honey.
Why do you laugh when there are tears in my eyes?

I don’t think it’s funny, honey.
My skies
are not so sunny.

Ah, ah, ah, ah.
I was a lover, a leader of men,
all of the women I knew were my friends.
I was so happy, my feet on the ground,
I didn’t know I was on the way down
‘cause you don’t feel the same,
it’s only a game, it’s only a game, it’s only a game.
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
I had a billion or two in the bank,
I gave to charity, ain’t got no thanks.
You gave me all that a woman could give
less your affection, I don’t want to live
‘cause you don’t feel the same,
it’s only a game, it’s only a game, it’s only a game.

 Sweet simple song

of different lights and different 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.
 
Every sound in my head,
every word that I said
is like a melody, melody,
that no little person like me
could ever change.
 
Every sound in the street,
all the cold and the heat,
is like a symphony, symphony,
which has never before
been rearranged.
