I am a bird, watch me go drifting by. 
With my feathers of power I laugh as the hours go slowly by. 
That could mean everything. 
I am a street watching the people walk. 
As I listen their conversations glisten as they start to talk. 
Then I hear everything. 

Little white jug, me and Kilburn Towers, 
As we sit on the hill and we drink and we swill 
Till the early hours, 
Then I am everything. 
Little white jug and me and Kilburn Towers 

That could mean everything. 

Little white jug, me and Kilburn Towers, 
As we sit on the hill and we drink and we swill 
Till the early hours, 
Then I am everything 

Little white jug and me and Kilburn Towers [Repeat: x4]

Bee Gees

The Bee Gees were a musical group founded in 1958. The group's line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a pop act in the late 1960s/early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s. The group sang three-part tight harmonies that were instantly recognisable; Robin's clear vibrato lead was a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s. The brothers wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists. more »
