Bee Gees · Other Songs - Bee Gees
Na na na na na na na na na
Paper mache and telegraph poles things go dead in the night
Make enough noise to make enough noise
Makes you want to jump with fright
Elephant's tusks and autograph books, people you don't meet
Haven't got a bed to lay my head, shoes to fit my feet
Don't be scared, you're better off than nothing
You're answering to no one, paper mache
Paper mache and telegraph poles, thing go dead in the night
Make enough noise to make enough noise
To make you want to jump with fright
Elephant's tusks and autograph books, people you don't meet
Haven't got a bed to lay my head, shoes to fit my feet
Don't be scared, you're better off than nothing
You're answering to no one, paper mache
All of a sudden it happened
When you did what you said you'd do
And you broke my heart in two, like paper mache
All of a sudden it happened, oh, you came into my life
Like paper mache you broke my heart
Like paper mache, paper mache, like paper mache
Paper mache and telegraph poles, things go dead in the night
Make enough noise to make enough noise
Makes you wanna jump with fright
Elephant's tusks and autograph books, people you don't meet
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang
Jimmy was everywhere
Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang
Jimmy was everywhere
Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang
Jimmy was everywhere
Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang
Jimmy was everywhere
Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang
Jimmy was everywhere
Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang
Jimmy was everywhere
Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang
Jimmy was everywhere
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la
Paper mache and telegraph poles things go dead in the night

Don't be scared, you're better off than nothing

Paper Mache, Cabbages Kings
A quirky, playful track from the Bee Gees’ late 1960s catalog, 'Paper Mache, Cabbages Kings' showcases the group’s early knack for whimsical melodies and imaginative lyrical themes. Though not a major chart hit, it reflects their evolving songwriting style during a period when they were experimenting with pop and psychedelic influences. The song’s lighthearted tone and catchy hooks hint at the band’s future success, while its unusual title and subject matter set it apart from their more polished contemporaries. It remains a curious artifact of their formative years, offering a glimpse into their creative range before the global dominance of their disco era.
