Bee Gees - Staying alive - Answers

Hi! How did you do with the last exercise? Here are the complete lyrics so that you can check how many gaps you have completed correctly:




Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk 

I'm a woman's ……man………….. : no time to talk 

Music ……loud…………..and women warm, I've been kicked around 

since I was born. 

But now it's……all right…………... That's OK 

And you may look the other way 
We can try to …understand……………..
the New York Times' ………effect……….. on man 

Whether you're a ……brother…………..or whether you're a mother, 
you're staying alive, staying alive. 
Feel the city breaking and ……everybody…………..shaking, 
and we're staying alive, staying alive. 
Ah, ha, ha, ha, staying alive, staying alive. 
Ah, ha, ha, ha, staying alive!! 
(Oh, when you walk)

Well, now I get low and I get …high……………..
and if I can't get either, I really try 
Got the wings of …heaven……………..on my shoes 
I'm a ……dancing…………..man and I just can't lose 
You know, it's……all right…………... It's OK. 
I'll live to see another day 
We can try to ……understand…………..
the New York Times' …effect……………..on man 

Whether you're a …brother……………..or whether you're a mother, 
you're staying alive, staying alive. 
Feel the city breaking and ……everybody…………..shaking, 
and we're staying alive, staying alive. 
Ah, ha, ha, ha, staying alive, staying alive. 
Ah, ha, ha, ha, staying alive!


Life going ……nowhere………………. Somebody ……help…………… me 
Somebody ……help………… me, yeah. 
Life going ……nowhere…………….. Somebody  ……help…… me, yeah 
I'm staying alive 

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk 
I'm a woman's ……man………….. : no time to talk 
Music ………loud………..and women warm, I've been kicked around 
since I was born. 
But now it's……all right…………... That's OK 
And you may look the other way 
We can try to …understand……………..
the New York Times' ……effect………….. on man 

Whether you're a ……brother…………..or whether you're a mother, 
you're staying alive, staying alive. 
Feel the city breaking and …everybody……………..shaking, 
and we're staying alive, staying alive. 
Ah, ha, ha, ha, staying alive, staying alive. 
Ah, ha, ha, ha, staying alive!
