When you're naked, in the shower
When you're sleeping for an hour
When you're big, when you're small
Oh, I wish I was a fly on the wall

When you're with her after midnight
When you kiss her in the dim light
When you break, barbie doll
Oh, I wish I was a fly on the wall

Wanna see who you are
Every inch, every scar

From your head to your toes
I would be there
From your bed to your clothes
I'm in the air

When you think you're alone
I'll be down in the hall
I could see it, if I was a fly on the wall
What you do in your room
I could see it all
You undress, I wish I was a fly on the wall, yeah, yeah (Break)

For the drama that you're drinking
And the dark thoughts you are thinking
And the love notes that you scrawl
Oh, I wish I was a fly on the wall

Silently I arrive
You don't know I'm alive

From your head to your toes
I would be there
From your bed to your clothes
I'm in the air

When you think you're alone
I'll be down in the hall
I could see it, if I was a fly on the wall
What you do in your room
I could see it all
You undress, I wish I was a fly on the wall, yeah, yeah
Wish I was a fly on the wall yeah, yeah, yeah

Ever closer, ever nearer
When you're looking in the mirror
I would know who you call
If I was a fly on the wall
Ooo ah ah

From your head to your toes
I would be there
From your bed to your clothes
I'm in the air

When you think you're alone
I'll be down in the hall
I could see it, if I was a fly on the wall
What you do in your room
I could see it all
You undress, I wish I was a fly on the wall, yeah, yeah
Wish I was a fly on the wall yeah, yeah, yeah

From your head to your toes
I would be there
From your bed to your clothes
I'm in the air
What you do on your own
I could see it all
When you think you're alone
I would crawl

When you think you're alone
I'll be down in the hall
I could see it, if I was a fly on the wall
What you do in your room
I could see it all
You undress, I wish I was a fly on the wall, yeah, yeah

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
