Here I lie, in a lost and lonely part of town, Held in time, in a world of tears I slowly drown. Going home, I just can’t make it all alone. I really should be holding you, holding you, loving you loving you. Tragedy. When the feeling’s gone and you can’t go on it’s tragedy. When the morning cries and you don’t know why it’s hard to bear. With no-one to love you you’re going nowhere. Tragedy. When you lose control and you got no soul it’s tragedy. When the morning cries and you don’t know why it’s hard to bear. With no-one beside you you’re going nowhere. Night and day, there’s a burning down inside of me. Oh. Burning love, with a yearning that won’t let me be. Down I go, and I just can’t take it all alone. I really should be holding you, holding you, loving you, loving Tragedy. When the feeling’s gone and you can’t go on it’s tragedy. When the morning cries and you don’t know why it’s hard to bear. With no-one to love you you’re going nowhere. Tragedy. When you lose control and you got no soul it’s tragedy. When the morning cries and you don’t know why it’s hard to bear. With no-one beside you you’re going nowhere. Ah Tragedy When the feeling’s gone and you can’t go on it’s tragedy. When the morning cries and you don’t know why it’s hard to bear. With no-one to love you you’re going nowhere. Tragedy. When you lose control and you got no soul it’s tragedy. When the morning cries and your heart just dies it’s hard to bear. With no-one beside you you’re going nowhere. Ah Tragedy… |
Trafalgar
| Written by: Maurice Gibb (1971) Lead vocals: Maurice Gibb Album: Trafalgar (1971) |
I rolled into the smoke and there I lost my hope. I need someone to know me and to show me. The square peg fits the hole. Why haven’t I been told? I need someone to know me and to show me. Trafalgar, Trafalgar, Trafalgar, please don’t let me down. Ten hundred people roam through the place I call my home. I need someone to know me and to show me. Sitting cross-legged on my own and yet I’m not alone. Don’t need no one to show me. No one owns me. Trafalgar, Trafalgar, Trafalgar. Trafalgar, Trafalgar, Trafalgar, please don’t let me down. Trafalgar, Trafalgar, Trafalgar. |

Thank you
Marcel Schildermans
Ooh ooh
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.
Ooh 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 my life
I was down in the rising sun.
Tokyo nights.
Well, I came for the moment and
stayed till the end.
Ooh wee ah
Take me to Tokyo.
Ooh wee ah.
Take me to Tokyo.

A tint of blue,
deep down inside my heart each time I see you,
It would take a lot to ease my pain
from all these chains.
A tint of red,
each time I see you with another,
just because I was your lover, jealous I,
I get so angry I could cry.
A tint of blue,
why do you make me feel so sad?
Why do you leave me feeling bad the way I do?
A tint of blue.
A tint of red,
each time I see you with another,
just because I was your lover, jealous I,
I get so angry I could cry.

Greatest hits
(1980)
Time, it goes on, waits for nobody special.
In the prime of my life I’ll remember you,
living and breathing and some misbelieving.
But I can’t hold you, woman, no piece of you.
You were the magic, my only believer.
My life on the line for you.
All that I give to you.
Time is time.
Don’t give me no time to waste away.
Love is love.
Keep me alive to my dying day.
Now is now .
We capture the world.
And love will make it all right, all right.
Time, it goes on, waits for nothing on over.
But I still see your sun that you shine on me,
giving and taking and always mistaking.
But I’ll follow you, woman, eternally.
You were the magic, my only believer.
My life on the line for you.
All that I give to you.
Time is time.
Don’t give me no time to waste away.
Love is love.
Keep me alive to my dying day.
Now is now.
We capture the world.
And love will make it all right, all right.
Setting my sights in one only direction.
Searching for romance and showing affection.
I guess I better know one, standing in the cold dark.
Waiting for your love.
Time is time.
Don’t give me no wrong in making love.
Love is love.
Turn me around till you burn me up.
Now is now.
We master the world.
And time will make it all right, all right.
Time is time….

Is bringing her down yeah.
For she would never be free
When I was around.

I don’t know why she’s ridin’ so high,
She ought to think twice,
She ought to do right by me.
Before she gets to saying goodbye,
She ought to think twice,
She ought to do right by me.

Throw A Penny
| Written by: Barry Gibb Robin Gibb (1973) Lead vocals: Barry Gibb Robin Gibb Album: Mr Natural (1974) |
Little child, I have found, if I stood up and looked around, I’d see your brand new place staring right back at me. I believe, I am sure, that I’m taller than I was before. Building a brand new bridge into sincerity. But it’s the times like this we must learn to grow. Throw a penny for my children, they are going down. When the light shines down much brighter, many souls are found. And I can’t believe what they’re saying in the overground. Throw a penny for my children going down. Listen to the wise man as he breathes. He’s really loving me (loving me). He must be loving me (loving me). At night I turn my face into the wind and I whisper secretly (secretly), what means the most to me, and bring him close (Ah). Make it bad, make it good, make it easy to be understood, but I see a velvet day breaking across the sky. I believe, I am sure, I am taller than I was before. Building a brand new bridge I know I’m gonna try. But it’s the times like this, we must find out why. Throw a penny for my children, they are going down. When the light shines down much brighter many souls are found. And I can’t believe what they’re saying in the overground. Throw a penny for my children going down. Throw a penny for my children, for my children going down. Throw a penny for my children, for my children going down… |

This is where I came in
(2001)
I’ve seen the story, I’ve read it over once or twice.
I said that you say a little bit of bad advice.
I been in trouble, happened to me all my life.
I lie and you lie, and who would get the sharpest knife?
You know I shouldn’t be somebody like that,
I’m not the kind of man to throw his hat into the ring and
go down without following through,
the day turns into night,
go down without following through,
the day turns into night.
Ooooh ooooh ooooh
This is just where I came in.
Hope rides on, but I’ll go anywhere,
yes, I’ll go anywhere with you.
Time has gone, but I’ll go anywhere,
yes I’ll go anywhere with you.
This is the danger zone, this is where I came in.
They know not what they do, forgive them of their sins.
They know they cannot take away what you have given me.
Ooooh ooooh ooooh
This is just where I came in.
Fade into colour, and colour into black and white.
Under the bedclothes everything will be alright.
I know that you know nothing ever stays the same.
Said so, I said so, the love will never speak its name.
Never gonna find somebody like you, beauty with a brain and a body too.
I could never make a move on a woman that leads me on.
She’s got a little bit of something for everyone.
It’s a little too late and the wolf is on the run.
Hope rides on, but I’ll go anywhere,
yes, I’ll go anywhere with you.
Time has gone, but I’ll go anywhere,
yes, I’ll go anywhere with you.
I always told myself I would regret this day,
that I would fall apart and watch you walk away,
that you would cry out loud and I would stand aside.
Ooooh ooooh ooooh
This is just where I came in.
Ooooh ooooh ooooh
This is just where I came in.
I can’t fly, but I’ll go anywhere,
yes, I’ll go anywhere with you.
Time goes by, but I’ll go anywhere,
yes, I’ll go anywhere with you.
This is the danger zone, this is where I came in.
They know not what they do, forgive them of their sins.
They know they cannot take away what you have given me.
Ooooh ooooh ooooh
This is just where I came in.
Ooooh ooooh ooooh
This is just where I came in.
Ooooh ….

Ah…
I just don’t know what you can achieve
When you say you need me and then leave.
Ev’rything you tell me is a lie.
You and I just don’t see eye to eye.
Soon you’ll run, there is no fun remaining.
The life I once enjoyed you’ve surely taken.
I’m convinced for years I’ve been your clown.
The heart I gave, well, you have just forsaken.
You are the worst girl in this town.
You are the worst girl in this town.
Ah..
There are lots like you, that it’s not true.
I’d be a fool to stay and join the queue.
You’ve stayed with other men behind my back.
I know that if I stay, I’ll surely crack.
The life I once enjoyed you’ve surely taken.
I’m convinced for years I’ve been your clown.
The heart I gave, well, you have just forsaken.
You are the worst girl in this town.
You are the worst girl in this town.
Ah…
You are the worst girl in this town.
