Ordinary Lives
Bee Gees, The · Other Songs - Bee Gees, The
There'll be one small light all over the world tonight.
The search will go on for the one.
It was love with no name
and we glowed in the sun.
There was one small dream,
incredible highs and lows,
what little we knew living ordinary lives (lives).
Made a dream for you, living ordinary lives (lives).
Ordinary people living ordinary lives.
Ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
The clock on the wall keeps moving,
time stands still,
no matter how the dice may fall,
someone else always gets to call the number.
Say goodbye cruel world.
No pity no pain tonight.
Whatever the cost all is lost.
If this is love with no name,
then it's all in the stars.
Whether it's wrong (wrong) or right,
there's no one to blame no (no) lies.
What else could we do
living ordinary lives (lives)?
Made a dream for you,
living ordinary lives (lives).
Oh, oh. We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people.
What else could we do,
living ordinary lives (lives)?
Made a dream for you,
living ordinary lives (lives).
Oh, oh. We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
The search will go on for the one.
It was love with no name
and we glowed in the sun.
There was one small dream,
incredible highs and lows,
what little we knew living ordinary lives (lives).
Made a dream for you, living ordinary lives (lives).
Ordinary people living ordinary lives.
Ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
The clock on the wall keeps moving,
time stands still,
no matter how the dice may fall,
someone else always gets to call the number.
Say goodbye cruel world.
No pity no pain tonight.
Whatever the cost all is lost.
If this is love with no name,
then it's all in the stars.
Whether it's wrong (wrong) or right,
there's no one to blame no (no) lies.
What else could we do
living ordinary lives (lives)?
Made a dream for you,
living ordinary lives (lives).
Oh, oh. We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people.
What else could we do,
living ordinary lives (lives)?
Made a dream for you,
living ordinary lives (lives).
Oh, oh. We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
We were ordinary people living ordinary lives.
Ordinary Lives
Released by The Bee Gees, 'Ordinary Lives' stands as a poignant example of the group's late-period balladry, characterized by lush harmonies and emotive delivery. The track exemplifies the band's ability to craft intimate narratives that resonate with universal themes of daily existence and quiet reflection. As part of their broader discography, the song showcases the signature melodic sensibility and vocal arrangement techniques that defined their work during the 1970s. It serves as a testament to their enduring capacity to blend pop accessibility with genuine emotional depth, capturing the essence of shared human experience through its composition and performance.
