Bee Gees - Walking Back To Waterloo Lyrics






I wish there was another year another time.
When people sang and poems rhymed.
My name could be Napoleon.
A thousand ships.
A windy sail, so huge and high it's tall enough to touch the sky.
It's beautiful but hard to find.
But I just wasn't born in time.

Walking back to Waterloo again.
Where do I begin ?
In the brand new street, you can get a good seat at the end.

I can dream of growing trees and things that live and grass that's green
In meadows that have never been.
But I still place my trust in the Queen.
What is life when a man is pressured based on wrong or right.
And I don't know what it means.
There must be more we haven't seen.

Walking back to Waterloo again.
Where do I begin?
In the brand new street, you can get a good seat at the end.

Walking back to Waterloo again.
Where do I begin?
In the brand new street, you can get a good seat at the end

[repeat last verse and fade out]

I'm a girl! LOL! Maurice is hands down...just an absolute dream! LOVE the #BeeGees in any decade! (didn't care much for the decade beginning in '03 and ending in '12 though)~so rough on Mr. Barry Gibb and his sweet mother. Unfortunately I know that feeling. #Mythology #InTheNow

  16. S.... Q....

    I love the song but mainly love Robin when he puts his hand inside his jacket, to look like Nepolian....

  17. S.... G....

    Barry sings with so much heart and passion, maybe in his mind he's at the places they sang about, at Waterloo. Robin sang "I wish there was another year, another time " and later "But I just wasn't born in time". They may have wished they lived in the times of the battle by Waterloo, to experience it. Really wonderful song!

  18. C.... B....

    Fabulous!

  19. I.... P....

  29. M.... B....

    I LOVE THIS SONG

  30. B.... ....

    Barry's part in the second verse is extraordinary. What a voice, what a soul !!

    B.... ....

    barry sempre foi mais forte na interpretação, é o meu prefetido BEE GEES

  31. L.... L....

    Cherub-faced Robin, should have kept the pounds he had put on around that period!😍 He looked beautiful!

    L.... L....

    How about song and interpretation?

    L.... L....

    he really did. And that divine voice. You should hear It Doesn't Matter Much To Me (Wildly Robin!)

  32. p.... ....

    Badly mimed, lol, but great song.

    p.... ....

    The sinc lips is no good because this channel put the remastered sound.

  33. t.... c....

    TIFF TIFF HERE LEADING THE BEE GEES ARMY THIS IS REAL MUSIC FOLKS WATCH AND LISTEN WITH CAUTION 😂😂😂 AT 0:30 TO 0:32 MY GOD ROBIN DON'T DO THAT BABY PLEASE 😍😍😍

    t.... c....

    @Judy Khan THANKS HONEY FOR LIKING MY COMMENT READ SOME MORE START MINE WITH TIFF TIFF AND THE LEADER OF THE BEE GEES ARMY BECAUSE THEY ARE THE DEFINITION OF MUSIC😊 HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU ☺

  34. L.... T....

    Did you see Maurice's jewelry?!? Robin is plain gorgeous.

  35. E.... d....

    Robin Gibb , boca linda , parecia um anjo quando jovem ! Amo ouvir as músicas em que ele canta.

  36. R.... ....

    Robin looks 14 and Maurice looks 35. Strange considering they were twins

    R.... ....

    +Randyroseta. That's what hair does for you! When Robin lost his in the '90s his look changed radically, too. But truly, Maurice looks like an old man there!

    R.... ....

    That's because he unfortunately started balding around this time and also had a drinking problem(which he's talked about in interviews) though I'm not sure when that started. He was still quite handsome though

  37. R.... ....

    Amazing how Maurice can get all those instruments out of that one acoustic piano. Mine won't do that. :(  Notice how Robin puts his hand in his jacket when he says Napoleon.

  38. R.... ....

    Listen to the lyrics of their music. There's an art form to it. "A thousand ships. A windy sail, so huge and high, It's tall enough to touch the sky. It's beautiful but hard to find. But I just wasn't born in time" WHAT A LYRIC!!!  A Deep longing for the past!! They are not only lyrics but a story, not just a story but a story about something that they never experienced. I saw an interview with Barbara Gibb she said it was amazing how they could write emotional songs about things they had never experienced. I think that is one of the main (and unknown) ingredients of the Bee Gees song writing. Especially prior to JIVE TALKIN. Listen to TRAFALGAR album and you will here stories about things from centuries ago. What ever influenced them to write that album is anybodys guess. But the results are fantastic. A complete album

    R.... ....

    Robin always loved history. He also had great imagination and brilliant ideas, said mum Barbara. When he lost creativity, the first phase of the Bee Gees' career was over. They had to reinvent themselves.

  39. F.... H....

    Oh I love this video thanks a lot ! for posting this .. This is one of their excellent! I love ❤️ these brothers not only their music but their closeness....Although they’ve been parted for awhile but they managed to got back....I think 🤔 Robin was still married here w/ his first wife Molly and so was Mo w/ Lulu and Barry w/ Linda.... if you can see the date here October 1971.... They’re so handsome and full of inspiration......

  40. p.... ....

    I love this.

  41. E.... N....

    Hj dia 20 de maio,6 anos da morte do Robin Gibb.. triste, saudades♡♡

  42. P.... K....

    Wow...the first verse and closeup of Robin just blows me away>...........

    P.... K....

    It's incredible to believe that Robin has been described, especially during his early years, as unattractive...(to put it mildly!) Has there Ever been a More Gorgeous human-being?.......I think NOT!!!😉

  43. R.... G....

    Bee Gees, eu queeeeero vocês de volta! Quanta saudade!!!
    Eternos!!!!❤❤❤

    I'm a Bee Gees fan since the 1960s, but somehow missed this beautiful song. I'm so thrilled to be able to see it now. Thank you for posting it! Barry with the blond hair is drop-dead gorgeous, Mo is adorable as usual, and Robin is like a sweet-faced little angel boy! I love the bit at :22 when he says, "My name could be Napoleon" and puts his hand in his jacket front in the traditional Napoleonic pose! Cute as can be! Love the Bee Gees!

    C.... H....

    Stoped breathing for a moment at 0:31 ahhhh Robin !

    C.... H....

    From the album Trafalgar. My favorite with How Can You Mend a Broken Heart and Alive as the singles

    C.... H....

    His eyes feel like they are piercing into me!

  63. M.... ....

    what a gorgeous group of young men! Excellent song!

  64. C.... C....

    First time hearing this song. It is fantastic! Love the Bee Gees forever!

  65. K.... B....

    A superior Bee Gees album.

  66. a.... ....

    It's the caffeine, the nicotine, the milligrams of tar
    It's my habitat, it needs to be cleaned, it's my car
    It's the fast talk they use to abuse and feed my brain
    It's the cat box, it needs to be changed, it's the pain
    It's women, it's the plight for power it's government
    It's the way you're given knowledge
    Slow with thought control and subtle hints
    It's rubbing it, it's itching it, it's applying cream
    It's the foreigners sightseeing with high beams, it's in my dreams

  67. E.... M....

    They were so young and gorgeous here, and I love this song. Robin at 0:31....soooo beautiful!

    E.... M....

    Anne Setiawati A-gree! They all 3 were so young and simply gorgeous. Barry was very good-looking here to me, but Robin was just flat-out Beautiful!! There's a couple times where Robin turns slightly, and looks into the camera....(SWOOON!!)😉

    E.... M....

    Gloria Mary Haywood you're right. Robin looked to the left several times and smile. So sweet..it was 1971. Robin in his 22 years old. at the end I looked a woman came nearer . And some women were watching their performance. Who are they do you know Gloria... so.lucky could watch Bee Gees at that time and after.

    E.... M....

    Sweet smiles from Mo and Robin , 3:07 3:13

    E.... M....

    And dimples!

    E.... M....

    @Sharon Herndon yes Sharon, I practically hit the floor over those smiles

  68. a.... v....

    Жаль, что тогда не было этого времени.
    Когда люди пели и стихи рифмовали.
    Мое имя могло быть Наполеоном.
    Тысяча кораблей.
    Ветряный парус, такой огромный и высокий, и так достаточно высок, чтобы коснуться неба.
    Это красиво, но трудно найти.
    Но я просто не родился во времени.

    Возвращение обратно в Ватерлоо.
    С чего бы мне начать ?
    На новой улице вы можете получить хорошее место в конце.

    Я могу мечтать о выращивании деревьев или чего то другого, что живет, и о траве, которая зеленая
    На лугах, которых никогда не было.
    Но я все еще доверяю королеве.
    Что такое жизнь, когда на человека оказывают давление, основанное на неправильном или правильном.
    И я не знаю, что это значит.
    Там должно быть больше, чего мы еще не видели.

    Возвращение обратно в Ватерлоо.
    С чего бы мне начать?
    На новой улице вы можете получить хорошее место в конце.

    Возвращение обратно в Ватерлоо.
    С чего бы мне начать?
    На новой улице вы можете получить хорошее место в конце

  69. N.... M....
