Lost In The Shadows Composer(s): Lou Gramm Performer(s): Lou Gramm
Say hello to the night Lost in the shadows Say hello to the night Lost in the loneliness Say hello to the night Lost in the shadows No one knows
I can't wait, I can't wait, no When I see little lights in the shadows One must hide when the sun gets higher I don't know what this madness means
Here comes the night The bedroom in shadows Candlelights I don't know where it's coming from But I, I keep moving on Till the darkest thought makes me want to try these wings
Say hello to the night Lost in the shadows Say hello to the night Lost in the loneliness Say hello to the night Lost in the shadows No one knows
Loneliness pours over you Emptiness can pull you through Did you go to sleep with the light on? I can't wait for this feeling to free me
Wind blows hard, but it doesn't matter 'Cause when the sun goes down Nothing else matters The line is where the night lies I will wait outside her window tonight
Say hello to the night Lost in the shadows Say hello to the night Lost in the loneliness Say hello to the night Lost in the shadows No one knows
Loneliness pours over you Emptiness can pull you through Did you go to sleep with the light on? I can't wait for this feeling to free me
Say hello to the night Lost in the shadows Say hello to the night Lost in the loneliness Say hello to the night Lost in the shadows No one knows
Always The Sun Composer(s): Jet Black - Jean-Jacques Burnel - Hugh Cornwell - Dave Greenfield First release by: The Stranglers - 1986
How many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain? How many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame? Who gets to say, who gets the work and who gets to play? I was always told at school, everybody should get the same
How many times have you been told, if you don't ask, you don't get? How many liars have taken your money, your mother said you shouldn't bet? Who has the fun, is it always the man with a gun? Someone must have told him, if you work too hard you can sweat
There's always the sun (always the sun) There's always the sun Always, always (always the sun)
How many times have the weathermen told you stories that made you laugh? I know it's not unlike the politicians and the leaders When they do things by half, who gets the job of pushing the knob? That sort of responsibility you draw straws for, if you're mad enough
There's always the sun (always the sun) There's always the sun Always, always (always the sun)
Lost In The Flood Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen
The ragamuffin gunner is returnin' home like a hungry runaway He walks through town all alone He must be from the fort he hears the high school girls say His countryside's burnin' with wolfman fairies dressed in drag for homicide The hit and run, plead sanctuary, `neath a holy stone they hide They're breakin' beams and crosses with a spastic's reelin' perfection nuns run bald through Vatican halls pregnant, pleadin' immaculate conception And everybody's wrecked on Main Street from drinking unholy blood Sticker smiles sweet as gunner breathes deep, his ankles caked in mud And I said "Hey, gunner man, that's quicksand, that's quicksand that ain't mud Have you thrown your senses to the war or did you lose them in the flood?"
That pure American brother, dull-eyed and empty-faced races Sundays in Jersey in a Chevy stock super eight He rides `er low on the hip, on the side he's got Bound For Glory in red, white and blue flash paint He leans on the hood telling racing stories, the kids call him Jimmy The Saint Well the blaze and noise boy, he's gunnin' that bitch loaded to blastin' point He rides head first into a hurricane and disappears into a point And there's nothin' left but some blood where the body fell That is, nothin' left that you could sell just junk all across the horizon, a real highwayman's farewell And he said "Hey kid, you think that's oil? Man, that ain't oil that's blood" I wonder what he was thinking when he hit that storm Or was he just lost in the flood? Eighth Avenue sailors in satin shirts whisper in the air Some storefront incarnation of Maria, she's puttin' on me the stare and Bronx's best apostle stands with his hand on his own hardware Everything stops, you hear five, quick shots, the cops come up for air And now the whiz-bang gang from uptown, they're shootin' up the street And that cat from the Bronx starts lettin' loose but he gets blown right off his feet And some kid comes blastin' round the corner but a cop puts him right away He lays on the street holding his leg screaming something in Spanish Still breathing when I walked away And somebody said "Hey man did you see that? His body hit the street with such a beautiful thud" I wonder what the dude was sayin' or was he just lost in the flood? Hey man, did you see that, those poor cats are sure messed up I wonder what they were gettin' into, or were they just lost in the flood?
Always Take A Girl Named "Daisy" ('Cause Daisies Won't Tell)
Always Take A Girl Named "Daisy" ('Cause Daisies Won't Tell) Composer(s): Geo. W. Meyer - Alfred Bryan - Sam M. Lewis
Handsome Harry, handsome Harry Thomas He was sued, yes, sued for breach of promise He took Mary walking through the dell And said "Now don't you dare to tell"
Mary went right home and told her mother Ma told Pa and Pa then told another Brother told the preacher and the pracher went and tolled a wedding bell
Never take a walk with Mary Never take a walk with Sue Never take a walk with Maude or Carrie That's the kind of girl you'll have to marry
If you take a girl out walking Down a little shady dell Always take a girl named Daisy 'Cause daisies won't tell
Harry's married life was pure and simple Till he met a girlie with a dimple She said "Dear I'm not acquainted here I just came down from Beaver Fall"
Harry winked and said, why silk and satin To this girl would be like Greek and Latin Harry felt like fainting when he missed his little dollar Ingersol
Never take a walk with Mary Never take a walk with Sue Never take a walk with Maude or Carrie That's the kind of girl you'll have to marry
Lost In The Fifties Tonight (In the Still Of the Night)
Lost In The Fifties Tonight (In the Still Of the Night) Performer(s): Ronnie Milsap
Close your eyes, Baby Follow my heart Call on the memories Here in the dark We'll let the magic Take us away Back to the feelings We shared when they played
In the still of the night Hold me darlin', hold me tight So real, so right Lost in the fifties tonight
These precious hours We know can't survive But loves all that matters While the past is alive Now and for always Till time disappears We'll hold each other Whenever we hear
In the still of the night Hold me darlin, hold me tight So real, so right Lost in the fifties tonight
Always Somewhere Composer(s): Rudolf Schenker - Klaus Meine Performer(s): Scorpions
Arrive at seven the place feels good No time to call you today Encores till eleven then Chinese fool Back to the hotel again I call your number the line ain't free I like to tell you come to me A night without you seems like a lost dream Love I can't tell you how I feel Always somewhere Miss you where I've been I'll be back to love you again
Another morning another place The only day off is far away But every cith has seen me in the end And brings me to you again Always somewhere Miss you where I've been I'll be back to love you again
Lost In Music
Composer(s): Bernard Edwards - Nile Rodgers
First release by: Sister Sledge - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists
We're lost in music; caught in a trap
No turning back
We're lost in music
We're lost in music
Feel so alive
I quit my nine-to-five
We're lost in music
Have you ever seen some people lose ev'rything?
First to go is their mind
Responsibility to me is a tragedy
I'll get a job some other time
I want to join a band and play in front of crazy fans
Yes
I call that temptation
Give me a melody
That's all that I ever need
The music is my salvation
We're lost in music; caught in a trap ...
In the spotlight
the band plays so very tight
each and every night
It's not vanity
To me it's my sanity
I could never survive
Some people ask of me: What are you gonna be?
Why don't you go get a job?
All that I can say
I won't give up my music
not me
not now
no way
no how
We're lost in music
caught in a trap
caught in our music
No turning back
We're lost in music
We're lost in music - don't take away our music
Feel so alive
Feel
I quit - I quit my nine-to-five
Yeah
we're lost in music
We're lost in music - melody is good to me
Caught in a trap
I'm caught
Oh baby
no turning back
No
no
no
we're lost in music
We're lost in music

Maybe I didn't treat you Quite as good as I should have Maybe I didn't love you Quite as often as I could have Little things I should have said and done I just never took the time
You were always on my mind You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died Give me, give me one more chance To keep you satisfied, satisfied
Maybe I didn't hold you All those lonely, lonely times And I guess I never told you I'm so happy that you're mine If I make you feel second best Girl, I'm sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died Give me, give me one more chance To keep you satisfied, satisfied
Little things I should have said and done I just never took the time You were always on my mind You are always on my mind You are always on my mind
Lost In Loveliness Composer(s): Leo Robin - Sigmund Romberg Performer(s): Doris Day and multiple other artists
What a thrill you are What a sight to see Something the eyes of mortals have no right to see Am I on the earth or in the sky? Lost in loveliness am I When I look at you I forget myself I could go mad about you if I let myself Should I let myself, or pass you by? Lost in loveliness am I I know I'm reaching for a star What's more, I know how dangerous you are If I were wise I'd close my eyes Or walk away and worship from afar In the lonely night You would haunt my heart And I would pray that someday you might want my heart And I'd have to live my whole life through Lost in loveliness, the loveliness of you
Zonder Verhaal ((Adapted from: Always On My Mind (by Brenda Lee) - 1971/1972)) ((Swiss Version: Wie My Härzschlag (by Polo Hofer & die SchmetterBand) - 2000)) Composer(s): John L. Christopher - Mark James - Wayne Carson - Peter Van Laet - Ben Destrycker - Paul Despiegelaere Performer(s): Mama's Jasje - 1992
Aan de allerlaatste bladen van een mooi, maar kort verhaal waarin ze niet gescheiden waren blijkt het einde nu fataal want zijn boodschap wordt haar meegedeeld terwijl het huwelijkslied al speelt
Hij verdween zonder verhaal Hij verdween zonder verhaal
Haar verlangen is verdronken en wat overblijft is pijn Haar vertrouwen weggeschonken aan de zeeën van de tijd Als een zeilboot die maar verder vaart zo ver weg van waar zij staat
Hij verdween zonder verhaal Hij verdween zonder verhaal
Zeg mij, zeg mij waarom jij daar vaart en ik hier sta Geef mij, geef mij nog een kans of doe me jouw verhaal, jouw verhaal...
Kleine dingen die hij niet begreep bleken groter dan de zee
Hij verdween zonder verhaal Hij verdween zonder verhaal
Zeg mij, zeg mij waarom jij daar vaart en ik hier sta Geef mij, geef mij nog een kans of doe me jouw verhaal, jouw verhaal...
Lost In Love Composer(s): Graham Russell Performer(s): Air Supply
Oh I realize the best part of love Is the thinnest lace That it don't come for much But I'm not letting go I believe this too much to believe in So lift your eyes if you feel you can Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan I'd figure it out What I needed was so one to show me You know you can't fool me I'd been loving you too long It started so easy You want to carry on (carry on) (Now I) Lost in love and I don't know much Cause to thinking about, and felt out of touch But I'm back on my feet, and eager to be what you wanted
Always Never Now Composer(s): Tim Finn Performer(s): Tim Finn
Once he thought it was forever But it's always never now
It was the best decision he ever made Now he's living with the consequenses He was still a bit green Like a sheep in a ballroom She had the devil in her He couldn't stop himself experimenting in secret Fire was a constant theme
Now he's glad that it's over And the horrible feeling's gone away Nothing prepares you He said "I'd do it all again Just to be where I am"
Once he thought it was forever But it's always never now Once he thought it was forever But it's always never now
And it seems so long ago now When he didn't have that peace in himself Two overlapping circles But you can't find the centre in somebody else
And the hardest of hearts Couldn't fail to weep Now he's on his way Throw him a line as he walks to his sleep Now he's on his way
Like the scales on a fish They flash and flicker in the sea But they're dull in the heat of the sun
When his back was to the wall In a dirty bar in London He didn't care about the Beatles She would be angry & frightened He would be hopeless & guilty They had to discover that country for themselves He went through life always Looking to turn it around The only way he can work it Is from the inside Making things happen from within Once he thought it was forever But it's always never now

I've just begun since you've gone To understand I'm the only one And if you cross yourself at night

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life Composer(s): Eric Idle First release by: Eric Idle - 1979 Covered by multiple other artists
Some things in life are bad They can really make you mad Other things just make you swear and curse When you're chewing your life's gristle Don't grumble, give a whistle And this'll help things turn out for the best And.....
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life
If life seems jolly rotten There's something you've forgotten And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing When you're feeling in the dumps Don't be silly chumps Just purse your lips and whistle That's the thing And...
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life
For life is quite absurd And death's the final word You must always face the curtain with a bow Forget about your sin Give the audience a grin Enjoy it It's your last chance, anyhow So ...
Always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life's a piece of shit When you look at it Life's a laugh and death's a joke It's true You'll see it's all a show Keep 'em laughing as you go Just remember that the last laugh is on you And...
Lost Highway Composer(s): Leon Payne First release by: Leon Payne - 1948 Covered by multiple other artists
I'm a rollin' stone, all alone and lost For a life of sin I have paid the cost When I pass by all the people say Just another guy on the lost highway
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine And a woman's lies makes a life like mine Oh, the day we met, I went astray I started rollin' down that lost highway
I was just a lad, nearly twenty-two Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you And now I'm lost, too late to pray Lord, I paid the cost, on the lost highway
Now boy's don't start to ramblin' round On this road of sin or you're sorrow bound Take my advice or you'll curse the day You started rollin' down that lost highway
Always Lift Him Up/Kanaka Wai Wai Composer(s): Alfred Reed Performer(s): Ry Cooder
When a fellow has the blues and feels discouraged And there's nothing else but trouble all his life When he's always grumbled at and never happy Living with a scolding, aggravating wife If he's sick and tired of life and takes to drinking Do not pass him by, don't greet him with a frown Do not fail to lend a hand and try to help him Always lift him up and never knock him down
If he stays out late at night because he's worried And because his home is not what it should be Have a smile for him whenever you should meet him It would help him just the right way, don't you see If he gambles when he's in the town or city Tell him what he ought to do to gain the crown Lend a hand and do not fail to show him pity Always lift him up and never knock him down
If he cannot pay his debts and feels disgusted If he's blue and doesn't have a word to say Let him know you are his friend who can be trusted It would cheer this lonely fellow on his way If he finds it hard for him to keep his family Let a kind word greet his ear when he's around Don't say anything at all to make against him Always lift him up and never knock him down
If he has no friends and everyone's against him If he's failed at everything that he has tried Try to lift his load, to help to bear his burden Let him know that you are walking by his side And if he feels that all is lost, and he is falling Try to place that poor man's feet on solid ground Just remember he's some mother's precious darling Always lift him up and never knock him down Always lift him up and never knock him down
