There is one line - just one word, actually - in 'Don't Forget To Remember' that I find rather strange. 'On the wall lies a photograph of you'. To me, 'lying' implies that the photo is lying flat on the top of a garden wall. They could so easily have said 'hangs' instead of 'lies'.

Here is a a good topic for a thread... Lyrics, what were they thinking!??? What, if any "Gibb" lyrics really stand out to you, good or bad??? Do you remember any Gibb lyrics that make you wonder if they were totally wasted "when they came up with that 'line'!" Here is a line that has always made me sctatch my head. From Kenny Rogers, "Eyes" album, "Mid Summers Night"... The line where he sings: And we never to be letting go... What! "And we never to be letting go..." What the %$#!

I don't know whether it's old or new,but it = features Robin explaining why he likes certain artists. I only caught = it because I was helping my my tune in her new digital TV. I caught = Fleetwood Mac and Steve Wonder videos being shown. www.familysetty.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:40:20 +0100 From: "Maggie Bleksley" Subject: Re: Lyrics, what were they thinking!??? I've just been listening to it and I think you may be right, Judy. It sounds like 'roar' to me, which does make more sense. I looked at the lyrics website and it says 'walk' on there, so Ross isn't the only one to hear it like that.
