From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinary_Lives:
"Ordinary Lives" is a single released by the
Bee Gees in
1989. It was taken from their 16th studio album
One. Following the premature death of their younger
brother
Andy Gibb in 1988, the Bee Gees dedicated this song and
their new album to him. Originally the song was titled
"Cruel World" but was changed and the name was "Ordinary
Lives". Scott Glasel recalled that "Ordinary Lives" was started before Andy died, but as completed it seems to be a philosophical comment on life and death, For a time it was called "Cruel World", a phrase heard at the start of the second verse as completed, The rhythm has some similarity to "You Win Again" and may have been a deliberate attempt to follow it up, But it has many new features including the brief spoken word parts and the existential musings of the lyrics, something often associated with Robin but clearly here coming from Barry, Probably the finished recording has added dubs by the musicians who worked on the album One.[1] |

Butch Ragland ('63) of CO":
Carol, any news on Butch Ragland? Didn't he have surgery Friday?
Kathy, I just walked in the
door from church, and at the very moment when I was un-muting my cell
phone, Butch called! He was still heavily under the influence of the
wonderful morphine, but he survived the surgery (and Ethel is holding on
well, too), and wanted to thank everyone for their love and prayers and
thoughts and notes, and to say that he knew it was only by the grace of
God that he is doing as well as he is. Thanks for checking!
Thanks, Carol. So glad he is ok. |

Ordinary Lives
Recorded by the
Bee Gees,
1989
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.
