I rolled into the smoke and there I lost my hope
I need someone to know me and to show me
The square peg fits the hole
Why haven’t I been told?
I need someone to know me and to show me
Trafalgar, Trafalgar, Trafalgar, please don’t let me down

Ten hundred people roam through the place I call me home
I need someone to know me and to show me
Sitting cross – legged on my own and yet I’m not alone
Don’t need no one to show me
No one owns me
Trafalgar, Trafalgar, Trafalgar
Trafalgar, Trafalgar, Trafalgar, please don’t let me down

Trafalgar

About Lyrics and Trafalgar by Bee Gees

The lyrics for Trafalgar are made up of the words, verses and background chorus for the popular 1971 song by Bee Gees. Like a lot of songs, the lyrics to Trafalgar have both direct meanings and metaphorical context hidden within the song's words. All of the meanings are only truly known by the creators of the lyrics for Trafalgar - Bee Gees and any of the writers who worked with them on the song.

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to Trafalgar by Bee Gees in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Trafalgar" means the words set to the music of Trafalgar, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Bee Gees. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Trafalgar and the lyrics to Trafalgar are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Bee Gees who came here looking just for the lyrics to Trafalgar, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
