BE GEES; CLOSER THAN CLOSE AND 9 MORE








1. MORE THAN A WOMAN



Oh, girl Ive known you very well
Ive seen you growing everyday
I never really looked before
But now you take my breath away

Suddenly you're in my life
Part of everything I do
You got me working day and night
Just trying to keep a hold on you

Here in your arms I found my paradise
My only chance for happiness
And if I lose you now I think I would die

Oh say you'll always be my baby
We can make it shine, we can take forever
Just a minute at a time

(chorus)
More than a woman, more than a woman to me
More than a woman, more than a woman to me
More than a woman, oh, oh, oh

There are stories old and true
Of people so in love like you and me
And I can see myself
Let history repeat itself

Reflecting how I feel for you
Thinking about those people then
I know that in a thousand years
I'd fall in love with you again

This is the only way that we should fly
This is the only way to go
And if I lose your love I know I would die

Oh say you'll always be my baby
We can make it shine, we can take forever
Just a minute at a time, huh

(chorus)

2. CLOSER THAN CLOSE


[Songwriters: Gibb, Maurice Ernest; Gibb, Barry Alan; Gibb, Robin Hugh;]

She'll read your mind
She's smart as a whip
She'll suck you dry
But look at how much I drip?
At the point of ecstasy
I write a symphony
Of poetry in motion
And leavin' me there to die

I tell myself let no one take her place
To confide in someone
And look at how much I paid?
I want you next to me
Call it telepathy
We drifted into vision
And look at how much we see?
Ahh
Ah ahh

I just wanna get closer than close to you
I know that one way or the other
Any test of my faith will do
And lovers fall for lovers' friends
We make each other cry
Livin' in each others lives
And tryin' to make the fantasy come true
I just wanna get closer than close to you, baby
I just wanna get closer than close to you

Your soul is naked
It tells you what you want?
I read your letter
And look at how close I've come?
There's more for us to see
In this philosophy
We both end up in Heaven
And look at how close we'd be
Ahh
Ah ahh

I just wanna get closer than close to you
I know that one way or the other
Any test of my faith will do
I give my heart for you to break
I give my final breath
Nothin' last forever see
We can turn eternity into

I just wanna get closer than close to you
To the moment you discover
What the best of my love can do
And lovers fall for lovers' friends
We make each other cry
Livin' in each others lives
And tryin' to make the fantasy come true
I just wanna get closer than close to you, baby
I just wanna get closer than close to you

I just wanna get closer than close to you
I just wanna get closer than close to you
(My love)
To the moment you discover
What the best of my love can do?
(My love)
Baby
I just wanna get closer than close to you
I just wanna get closer than close to you
(My love)
I know that one way or the other
Any test of my faith will do
(My love)
Baby
I just wanna get closer than close to you

3. RUN TO ME

If ever you got rain in your heart
someone has hurt you, and torn you apart
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

And let it be like they said it would be
me loving you girl, and you loving me
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

(chorus)
Run to me whenever you're lonely (to love me)
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then, you need someone older
so darling, you run to me

And when you're out in the cold
no one beside you, and no one to hold
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

And when you've got nothing to lose
nothing to pay for, nothing to choose
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

(chorus)

(repeat to fade)

4. SOMEONE BELONGING TO SOMEONE


I know how I feel
Lonely in the black of night
There can be no love for me now
Nobody listens when
the words ain't right

And you get into someone else
It's hard for me to know
Who's lovin' who
And where do I stand?
What did I do it all for?
There's no one I could love more
I did it for your heart alone
All that I try to be
growin' inside to me
I can be strong if you're there

(chorus)
And there is someone belonging to someone
And I got no one belonging to me
I live in a world where
the face of an angel
is all that a fool can see
You got the power to find me
whenever I'm lost
Where are you?
Who are we?

I believe in time
Can eat away a heart of stone
And baby if I leave you too late
It's just a feather
and the bird has flown
It's colder when the fire dies
With all the trouble I'm in
if I lose you too

Then what is my life
If I don't wanna go through
Anything without you
Couldn't be life at all
I could be lyin' on
You are the only one
We didn't make it by chance

And there is someone belonging to someone
And I got no one belonging to me
I'm caught in a world on
the edge of tomorrow
It's all that a fool can find
I don't belong in the arms
of a love that is lost
Nowhere to cry
There must be something we
can say my love
Something except goodbye

And there is someone belonging to someone
And I got no one belonging to me...

(repeat to fade)

5. SWAN SONG




[Songwriters: Gibb, Maurice Ernest; Gibb, Robin Hugh; Gibb, Barry;]

This is my swan song, whatever I do now, I do it well
This is my swan song, I fell in love with you, I love you well
And if the Lord provides the music for the world around to sing
My love will build a castle in the air

This is my last chance, a chance to show the world that I am strong
This is my last dance, I'm walking off the floor where I belong
And if the Lord provides the music for the world around to sing
My love will build a castle in the air

And if the Lord provides the music for the world around to sing
My love will build a castle in the air
This is my swan song, I fell in love with you, I love you well
I love you well, I love you well

6. TO LOVE SOMEBODY


There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you
Lived with you
There's a way everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you, ain't got

(chorus)
You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

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 very blind
I'm a man
Can't you see what I am?
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got you, baby

(chorus)

7. I WILL BE THERE


This is the life you saved laid out before you
Everything that I think I have been and what I am now
Nothing can change the way I feel about you
Better we go on our separate ways
Nothing is left but the endless days
Nothing to cry but your name

Don't you look back, don't say a word
I will be lonely for you, I will be standing for you
Don't you despair
I will be there for you
Farewell to you, goodbye for me
I will be waiting for you, I will be lonely for you
Don't you despair
I will be there for you
Ohh, ohh
I will be there
Ohh, ohh
I will be there

Maybe this time next year we'll be together
You can wipe away all of the tears, bring truth to the lies
There was a silent dream, we made a promise
We'd be there for each other forever
Borne like a ship on the ocean's roar
Beating a path to your open door
Nothing will keep me away

Don't you look back, don't say a word
I will be lonely for you, I will be standing for you
Don't you despair
I will be there for you
Each night I pray, to God above
You will be waiting for me, you will be lonely for me
Don't you despair
I will be there for you
Ohh, ohh
I will be there
Ohh, ohh
I will be there
Ohh, ohh
I will be there
Ohh, ohh
I will be there
Ohh, ohh
I will be...

8. I JUST WANT TO BE YOUR EVERYTHING



[Songwriters: Gibb, Barry;]





For so long, you and me been findin' each other for so long
And the feeling that I feel for you is more than strong, girl, take it from me
If you give a little more than you're asking for your love will turn the key

Darling mine, I would wait forever for those lips of wine
Build my world around you, darling, this love will shine girl, watch it and see
If you give a little more than you're asking for your love will turn the key

Aah, I, I just want to be your everything
Open up the heaven in your heart and let me be
The things you are to me and not some puppet on a string

Oh, aah, if I stay here without you, darling, I will die
I want you laying in the love I have to bring
I'd do anything to be your everything

Darling, for so long, you and me been finding each other for so long
And the feeling that I feel for you is more than strong, girl, take it from me
If you give a little more than you're asking for your love will turn the key

Open up the heaven in your heart and let me be
The things you are to me and not some puppet on a string

Oh, aah, if I stay here without you, darling, I will die

The things you are to me and not some puppet on a string

Oh, aah, if I stay here without you, darling, I will die
I want you laying in the love I have to bring
I'd do anything to be your everything

9. IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU


Don't know why
I'm surviving every lonely day
When there's got to be
no chance for me
My life would end

And it doesn't matter how I cry
My tears of love a waste of time
if I turn away
Am I strong enough to
see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do

(chorus)
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you, uh-huh, ah
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you, uh-huh, ah

Can't let go
And it doesn't matter how I try
I gave it all so easily
to you my love
To dreams that never
will come true
Am I strong enough to
see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do

(chorus)

(repeat to fade)

10. LONELY DAYS

Good morning mister sunshine
You brighten up my day
Come sit beside me in your way

I see you every morning
Outside the restaurant
The music plays so nonchalant

Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?

Good morning mister sunshine
You brighten up my day
Come sit beside me in your way

Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?
Lonely days, lonely nights
Where would I be without my woman?

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity

3. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE RAIN

Someone told me long ago
They were gone before the storm
I know, it's been coming for sometime
Be it so, and so I say
Little rain and sun by day
I know, shining down like water

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down, down this day
Coming down, down this day

Yes for days and days before
Sun is rain and cold is hot
I know, in this place got all my found
Through the circles fast and slow
There for every moment goes
I know, I can't stop, I wonder

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down, down this day
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down, down this day
I wanna know

4. RASPUTIN



Their lived a certain man
In Russia long ago
He was big and strong in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him
With terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstasy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Woman would desire.

Ra-Ra-Rasputin
lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
Ra-Ra-Rasputin
Russia's greatest love-machine
It was a shame how he carried on.

He ruled the Russian land
And never mind the Czar
But the Kasatschok he danced really wunderbar
All affairs of state
He was the man to please
But he was real great when he hand a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she heard the thing's he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son.

Ra-Ra-Rasputin
lover of the Russian queen
...

But when his drinkin' and lusting
and his hunger for power
Became know to more and more people
The demand to do something about this outrageous man became
Louder and louder

Hey
hey
hey...

This man just gotta go
Declared his enemies
But the ladies begged "don't you try to do it please"
No doubt this Rasputin
Had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap they're not do blame
Come to visit us they kept demanding
And he really came.

Ra-Ra-Rasputin

Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine.
Ra-Ra-Rasputin
Russia's greatest love-machine

He drank it all and said: "I feel fine."

Ra-Ra-Rasputin
lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit
they wanted his head
Ra-Ra-Rasputin Russia's greatest love-machine
And so they shot him till he was dead.

Oh
those Russians

5. NO WOMAN NO CRY




No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Cause I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trench town
Observing the hypocrites
Mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have, now
Good friends we have lost
Along the way
In this great future,
You can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I say

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Oh little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Cause I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trench town
When Georgie would make the fire lights
I say, log wood burnin' through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on thru,
And while I'm gone
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright now
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright now
Everything 's gonna be alright
No woman no cry

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Oh little darlin' don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Oh little darlin' don't shed no tears
No woman no cry

Said I re, said I re, Said I remember
No woman no cry

You and I and you and I and you and I
No woman no cry

Cause I remember when we used to sit there
No woman no cry
In a government yard

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry, yeah
No woman no cry

No woman no cry (you sweet darling)
No woman no cry

No woman no cry, yeah
No woman no cry
No woman no cry, yeah
No woman no cry

No woman no cry

6. MA BAKER





Freeze, I'm Ma Baker - put your hands in the air Gimme all your money!
This is the story of Ma Baker - the meanest cat from ol'
Chicago town.

She was the meanest cat in old Chicago town
She was the meanest cat she really mowed them down
She had no heart at all no
no
no heart at all

Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Baker
she taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Baker to handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Baker
she never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Baker
but she knew how to die

She left a trail of crime across the USA
And when one boy was killed she really made them pay
She had no heart at all no
no
no heart at all

Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Baker
she taught her four sons
. . .

She met a man she liked she thought she'd stay with him
One day he fought with them they did away with him
She didn't care at all
just didn't care at all

Here is a special bulletin.
Ma Baker is the FBI's most wanted woman. Her photo is hangin'
On every post office wall. If you have any information about
This woman please contact your nearest police station . . .

Don't anybody move
the money or your lives.

One day they robbed a bank it was their last hurray
The cops appeared too soon they couldn't get away
And all the loot they had it made them mighty mad
And so they shot it out
Ma Baker and her sons
They didn't want to hang
they died with blazing guns
And so the story ends of one who left no friends

Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Baker
she taught her four sons
. . .

7. LADY GODIVA



Her name was Lady Godiva
A lady so brave and so strong
Her husband the Earl of Mercia
He treated her terribly wrong
She's a lady
She's a lady
She rode naked on horseback
To stop him from his tax increase
But people in town closed their curtains
Than prison for living in peace
*She's a lady
She's a lady
She's a lady, Lady Godiva
The hero of Coventry
L-L-Lady Lady Godiva
She rode into history
Then sneaking a glance through the window
Was a guy they called Peeping Tom
He caught a glimpse and was blinded
Curiosity sometimes is wrong
*(repeat)
People liked Lady Godiva
Respectfully looking away
They honoured incredible courage
Her legend lives until today
*(repeat, repeat)

Music is a mirror
Near around my soul
Music is the spirit
Come on let it roll
Music is my nature

People sing a song
Let it all be music
Let us sing it on and on and on
Let's play the music
My kind of music
Let's play the music
Play it on and on and on and on
Music isn't somewhere
Music turns you right
Music is a fever
Leads you day and night
Music is like heaven
Where you wanna be
Music is religion
Music set's you free
Let it all be music
People sing a song
Let it all be music
Let us sing it on and on and on
Let's play the music
My kind of music
Let's play the music
Play it on and on and on and on

Music is today
Music is forever
Music is the way
Music is for women
Music is for men
Music is for children

My kind of music
Let's play the music
Play it on and on and on and on....

10. 10,000 LIGHT YEARS




10.000 Light years somewhere out in space
They practice love and they know what it takes
No competition and no jealousy
Living in freedom and humanity
10.000 Light years away, light years away far from pain
Came to a place full of [grace and OF PEACE?
10.000 Light years away from our fear
Suddenly it's ringing in my ears
Why is it now I don't wanna be here
I feel like flow in that clock at the wall
God, how I wish that this dream would go on
10.000 Light years away, light years away far from pain
Came to a place full of grace and of peace
10.000 Light years away from our fear
10.000 Light years somewhere out in space (10.000 Light years)
10.000 Light years somewhere out in space (10.000 Light years)
10.000 Light years somewhere out in space (10.000 Light years)
10.000 Light years somewhere out in space (10.000 Light years)

11. RIDE TO AGADIR



They rode in the morning
Casablanca to the west
On the Atlas Mountain foothills leading down to Marakesh
For Mohammed and Morocco
We had taken up our guns
For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons.
For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons.
In the dry winds of summer
They were sharpening the blades.
They were riding to act upon the promise we had made.
With the fist and the dagger
With the rifle and the lance
We will suffer no intrusion from the Infidels of France.
We will suffer no intrusion from the Infidels of France.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
They could wait no more
In the burning sands on the ride to Agadir.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
Like the dogs of war
For the future of this land on the ride to Agadir.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
Though they were waiting
And they were fifty to our ten
They were easily outnumbered by a smaller force of men.
As the darkness was falling
They were soon to realize
We were going to relieve them of their God-Forsaken lives.
We were going to relieve them of their God-Forsaken lives.
They could wait no more
In the burning sands on the ride to Agadir.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
Like the dogs of war
For the future of this land on the ride to Agadir.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
They rode in the morning
Casablanca to the west
On the Atlas Mountain foothills leading down to Marakesh
For Mohammed and Morocco
We had taken up our guns
For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons.
For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons.

12. WHERE DID YOU GO


I'm looking out the window pane
And I hear the sound of pouring rain
But you're not here
Where did you go
I wanna know what made you go away
What went wrong?
I'm looking out my window pane
And I hear the sound of pouring rain
There's no-one here to laugh with me
To make the dark clouds disappear
My love, what went wrong?
Where did you go - there is no answer
I need you now much more that ever
Where did you go - why can't you be with me
Where did you go - we were so tender
Where did you go - why not surrender
Only you can set me free
I'm looking out my window pane (Oh yes)
And I hear the sound of pouring rain
I think of you, of someone who can
Always count on love so true
And I'm here - where are you?
Tell me...
I think of you, of someone who can
Always count on love so true
And I'm here - where are you?
Where did you go - there is no answer
I need you now much more that ever
Where did you go - why can't you be with me
Where did you go - we were so tender
Where did you go - why not surrender
Only you can set me free
Where did you go - there is no answer
I need you now much more that ever
Where did you go - why can't you be with me
Where did you go - we were so tender
Where did you go - why not surrender
Only you can set me free
