Lonely Lonely The "L" is for the laughter, we shared from the start "O" is for the only girl in my heart The "N" is for the night, you told me we were though for you had found somebody new "E" is for the end of my world, a place I shared with only you empty, my world is dark Loneliness has just begun The "L" is for the Love that was meant for me only and "Y" Why did you leave me lonely Lonely

Amor estoy sólo aquí en la playa Es el sol quien que me acompaña Y me quema, y me quema, y me quema
Cuando calienta el sol aqui en la playa Siento tu cuerpo vibrar cerca de mí
Es tu palpitar, es tu pelo, es tu cara Son tus besos, me estremezco O!
Cuando calienta el sol aquí en la playa Siento tu cuerpo vibrar cerca de mí
Es tu palpitar, tu recuerdo, mi locura Mi delirio, me estremezco O! Cuando calienta el sol
Es tu palpitar, es tu pelo, es tu cara Son tus besos, me estremezco O! Cuando calienta el sol Cuando calienta el sol Cuando calienta el sol
Loneliest Person Composer(s): John Alder - Phil May - Dick Taylor - Wally Allen Waller Performer(s): The Pretty Things; Arthur Brown; The Jigsaw Seen
You might be the loneliest person in the world You'd never be as lonely as me Yes you might be the loneliest person in the world You'll never be as lonely as me
All the sky it seems dark As I'm walking through a park But the face it is too bright to see Or the sun might rise high On an orange kind of sky But the day it seems too dark for me
Yes you might be the loneliest person in the world You'll never be as lonely as me Yes you might be the loneliest person in the world Your name it would have to be me

Hoor je het slaan van m'n hart Voel je m'n liefde Zie je hoe sterk ik verlang naar een gebaar Maar voor elk signaal Ja, voor alles wat ik doe Blijf je blind, niets gaat over, alles blijft toe
Hoor je het slaan van m'n hart Dat blijft maar doorgaan Ik ben totaal in de war, zie mij hier staan Niemand die mij nog herkent 'k Ben een vreemde voor mezelf Echt ik meen het, ik verlang alleen maar naar jou Hoor je het slaan van m'n hart
Ik smeek je 'krijg ik een kans' Enkele dagen, enkele uren, wat minuten Maar geef mij toch één keer de kans
Hoor je het slaan van m'n hart Voel je m'n liefde Zie je hoe sterk ik verlang naar een gebaar Niemand die mij nog herkent 'k Ben een vreemde voor mezelf Echt ik meen het, ik verlang alleen maar naar jou Hoor je het slaan van m'n hart Hoor je het slaan van m'n hart
Lone Star State Of Mind Composer(s): Fred Koller - Patrick Alger - Gene Levine Performer(s): Nanci Griffith and multiple other artists
Your phone call took my by surprise Gee, it's been a long, long time Since those hot and humid Texas nights When we went swimm'n in the tide
Corpus Christi seems so far away And I'm not talk'n 'bout the miles And there ain't much I wouldn't give today Just to see one of your smiles
But here I sit alone in Denver Sipp'n the California wine And I've got all night to remember you I'm in a lone star state of mind
I just saw John Wayne on the Late, Late Show Save the girl and ride away And I was hoping as the credits rolled He'd make it back to her someday
But here I sit alone in Denver Sipp'n the California wine And I've got all night to remember you I'm in a lone star state of mind
It's a thousand miles or more From here to your front door I'd be there tomorrow if I left today And I'd just pack up my guitar You know it's really not that far When you called you said I'd have a place to stay
But here I sit alone in Denver Sipp'n the California wine And I've got all night to remember you I'm in a lone star state of mind

Cuando Calienta El Sol Quand le soleil était là sur nos vacances Quand il glissait dans nos curs Tant de chaleur Tout venait de lui Nos promesses, nos tendresses Nos faiblesses, nos caresses, notre amour
Quand le soleil était là sur nos vacances Quand nous partions pour cueillir Des souvenirs Nous ne pensions pas Que les rires, les sourires L'insouciance et les danses des beaux jours Ça ne dure pas toujours
Quand le soleil était là, baignant la plage Quand la mer venait saler tous nos baisers Nous étions si bien que ce rêve qui s'achève Oui j'espère le refaire l'an prochain Et tout recommencera, ah, ah, ah Car l'amour ne s'oublie pas, ah, ah, ah Et le soleil sera là, là, là!
Lone Star Blues Composer(s): Delbert McClinton - Gary Nicholson Performer(s): Delbert McClinton
At a truck stop in St Angelo I saw a billboard 'bout this rodeo Last weekend out in El Paso So I signed up to ride
I drew a bull called Original Sin Heard he'd killed a couple of men Figured this was somethin' I could win 'Cause the devil's on my side
I was havin' myself one hell of a ride When I ended up disqualified 'Cause that danged old bull just up an' died Before they blew the whistle
An' I got them North Texas blues Thought I'd paid all my dues Then them South Texas blues Told me son you ain't through Had them East Texas blues An' then West Texas too I've done all I know to do To try to lose To try to lose these lone star blues
I got laid off at Brown and Root On my way back to Cut and Shoot I lost my wristwatch an' my boots Shootin' dice with a dude from Houston
There ain't no jobs here workin' cattle So I got on part-time hauling gravel With some outfit from Seattle Down here building custom homes
Well, I got them North Texas blues Thought I'd paid all my dues Then them South Texas blues Told me son you ain't through Had them East Texas blues An' then West Texas too I've done all I know to do Tryin' to lose Tryin' to lose these lone star blues
I gassed up my truck an' I packed my clothes Turned in my key and I hit the road I said Cow Town's where I'll go You never know, I might get lucky
I got a friend there turnin' knobs At this place called Billy Bob's Said he could get me a job there Working as a bouncer
First night on the job was just insane Some old boy got all deranged Hit me in the head with a Harley chain To this day, my ears still ring
I got them North Texas blues Thought I'd paid all my dues Then them South Texas blues Told me son you ain't through Had them East Texas blues An' then West Texas too I've done all I know to do Tryin' to lose Tryin' to lose these lone star blues
I've done all I know to do Tryin' to lose Tryin' to lose these lone star blues
Cuando Amanecen Las Flores Composer(s): Bebu Silvetti Performer(s): Raphael
Siempre esperando, siempre, que vuelvas Aunque tan solo luego yo te pierda Otra vez el amor, como ayer, tu y yo
Cuando amanecen las flores en primavera Tambien florecen mis manos porque te esperan Fue largo y triste el invierno sin tu cariño Canta mi amor porque es tiempo de estar contigo Y otra vez el amor, como ayer, tu y yo
Lone Rider Composer(s): Geoff Goddard Performer(s): John Leyton; Flee Rekkers
Alone, lone rider Is ridin' tonight Through the dusk, you can hear me a-roarin' Revvin' up to glory Travellin' through the night Tryin' to tell my story Yeah, tryin' to prove that I'm right
Be warned, young riders or soon you will see You'll become just as lonely and sad as me
(what do you know)
Cross fields, cross forests Through city and town I'll ride for my journey is endless Oh, risks for kicks will bring you Nothing but tears and pain Just like me you'll be ridin' Through the wind and the rain
Be warned, young riders or soon you will see You'll become just as lonely and sad as me
Cuando Agosto Era 21 Composer(s): Fernando Ubiergo Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Se ocultaba en los pilares de los viejos pasadizos para esconder el hijo que pronto le iba a llegar fue difícil esconder en un pobre delantal los tres meses de más
Y salía del colegio con un siete en la libreta y en el vientre una cometa que pronto querrá volar y se iba a caminar y se iba a preguntar por las calles, sin final
Y se fue donde un cura quien le dijo era pecado y muy pronto un abogado le habló de lo legal y fue el profesor de ciencias quien le habló de la inconsciencia de la juventud actual de la juventud actual
Los que juzgan no han sentido el amor, el dolor y en el vientre unos latidos
Y se enredan en prejuicios y el amor, se quedó en unos cuantos latidos Y sobraron los consejos que le hablaban de pastillas de una vieja mujercilla que el trabajo lo hace bien no faltó la buena amiga esa amiga entre comillas que le dio una dirección
Y salió desde el colegio en una fría mañana cuando la vieja campana aún no daba su talán mientras el profe de ciencias hablaba de la inconsciencia de la juventud actual
Cuando Agosto era 21 la encontraron boca arriba con la mirada perdida y su viejo delantal y en el bolso de colegio dibujado un corazón que decía tú y yo que decía tú y yo
London, London Composer(s): Caetano Veloso First release by: Caetano Veloso - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
I'm wandering round and round nowhere to go I'm lonely in London London is lovely so I cross the streets without fear Everybody keeps the way clear I know, I know no one here to say hello I know they keep the way clear I am lonely in London without fear I'm wandering round and round here nowhere to go While my eyes Go looking for flying saucers in the sky Oh Sunday, Monday, Autumm pass by me And people hurry on so peacefully A group approaches a policeman He seems so pleased to please them It's good at least to live and I agree He seems so pleased at least And it's so good to live in peace and Sunday, Monday, years and I agree While my eyes Go looking for flying saucers in the sky I choose no face to look at Choose no way I just happen to be here And it's ok Green grass, blue eyes, gray sky, God bless Silent pain and happiness I came around to say yes, and I say But my eyes Go looking for flying saucers in the sky
Cuando Composer(s): Jorge Fandermole Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Cuando me despierte cada dia con el cuerpo de aire y ese olor feliz del tiempo manso de las lilas sin miedo al movimiento y al dolor cuando ya no tenga casi nada de sangre en la garganta de papel ni un agrio pez nadando en la mirada ni quiera mas amparo que la piel
Van a ser los días esos barcos de luz que una vez supe escribir y la alegría que hemos olvidado volviendo por los huesos a subir yo me alimento con una quimera en que los ojos al sol verán brillar los brazos de mi padre en las banderas y una ceniza negra y una ceniza negra y una ceniza negra que se va
Cuando me convenza que la suerte me rige a la par que la pasión y no el terrible arcangel de la muerte rondando por el campo de el reloj Si lo concebido y lo posible tienen siempre la cara del horror en esta patria de lo inaccesible en este tiempo olvidado de Dios Yo digo que mis ávidos amores son fuertes y viven mas que yo son gigantes tenues como flores que alientan a este pobre corazón los alimento con una quimera en que los ojos al sol verán brillar los brazos de mi padre en las banderas y una ceniza negra y una ceniza negra y una ceniza negra que se va

Walking down the sidewalk on a purple afternoon I was accosted by a barker playing a simple tune Upon his flute - toot toot toot toot
Silver rain was falling down Upon the dirty ground of London Town
People pass me by on my imaginary street Ordinary people it's impossible to meet Holding conversations that are always incomplete Well, I don't know Oh, where are there places to go Someone somewhere has to know I don't know
Out of work again the actor entertains his wife With the same old stories of his ordinary life Maybe he exaggerates the trouble and the strife Well, I don't know Oh, where are there places to go Someone somewhere has to know
Crawling down the pavement on a Sunday afternoon I was arrested by a rozzer wearing a pink balloon About his foot - toot toot toot toot
Silver rain was falling down Upon the dirty ground of London Town
Someone somewhere has to know Silver rain was falling down Upon the dirty ground of London town

London Pride Composer(s): Noel Coward Performer(s): Noel Coward and multiple other artists
London Pride has been handed down to us London Pride is a flower that's free London Pride means our own dear town to us And our pride it for ever will be
Woa, Liza, see the coster barrows Vegetable marrows and the fruit piled high Woa, Liza, little London sparrows Covent Garden Market where the costers cry
Cockney feet mark the beat of history Every street pins a memory down Nothing ever can quite replace The grace of London Town
There's a little city flower every spring unfailing Growing in the crevices by some London railing Though it has a Latin name, in town and countryside We in England call it London Pride
London Pride has been handed down to us London Pride is a flower that's free London Pride means our own dear town to us And our pride it for ever will be
Hey, lady, when the day is dawning See the policeman yawning on his lonely beat Gay lady, Mayfair in the morning Hear your footsteps echo in the empty street
Early rain and the pavement's glistening All Park Lane in a shimmering gown Nothing ever could break or harm The charm of London Town
In our city darkened now, street and square and crescent We can feel our living past in our shadowed present Ghosts beside our starlit Thames who lived and loved and died Keep throughout the ages London Pride
London Pride has been handed down to us London Pride is a flower that's free London Pride means our own dear town to us And our pride it for ever will be
Grey city, stubbornly implanted Taken so for granted for a thousand years Stay, city, smokily enchanted Cradle of our memories and hopes and fears
Every Blitz your resistance toughening From the Ritz to the Anchor and Crown Nothing ever could override The pride of London Town
Crystal Gazing Composer(s): Mike Oldfield Performer(s): Maggie Reilly
Watching for a spark, it's a moonlight show Reaching through the dark. Do you have to go? Try to put a message through to your sweetheart Won't you like to know the secrets of the heart?
Crystal gazing, crystal gazing What you gonna find in crystal gazing? Crystal gazing, crystal gazing What you gonna find in crystal gazing?
Voices in the dark and the lights burn low Teach yourself the art that you never know Try to put a message through to your sweetheart Won't you like to know the secrets of the heart?
Crystal gazing, crystal gazing What you gonna find in crystal gazing? Crystal gazing, crystal gazing What you gonna find in crystal gazing?
Pictures from the night, would you be my guide? What you talk about on the other side Carry you a message through from your sweetheart Won't you like to know the secrets of the heart?
Crystal gazing, crystal gazing What you gonna find in crystal gazing? Crystal gazing, crystal gazing What you gonna find in crystal gazing?
Watching for a spark, it's a moonlight show Reaching through the dark Do you have to go? Try to put a message through to your sweetheart Won't you like to know the secrets of the heart?
Watching for a spark, it's a moonlight show Reaching through the dark Do you have to go?
London Homesick Blues Composer(s): Gary P. Nunn - Louie Bellson Jazz Orch. Performer(s): Jerry Jeff Walker and multiple other artists
Well, when you're down on your luck and you ain't got a buck in London you're a goner Even London Bridge has fallen down and moved to Arizona now I know why And I'll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor is drier than the Texas sand You can put up your dukes and you can bet your boots that I'm leavin' just as fast as I can
I wanna go home with the armadillo Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen
Well it's cold over here, and I swear I wish they'd turn the heat on And where in the world is that English girl I promised I would meet on the third floor And of the whole damn lot, the only friend I got is a smoke and a cheap guitar My mind keeps roamin', my heart keeps longin' to be home in a Texas bar
I wanna go home with the armadillo Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen
Well, I decided that, I'd get my cowboy hat and go down to Marble Arch Station 'Cause when a Texan fancies, he'll take his chances and chances will be takin, now that's for sure And them Limey eyes, they were eyein' a prize that some people call manly footwear And they said you're from down South and when you open your mouth you always seem to put your foot there
I wanna go home with the armadillo Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen
I wanna go home with the armadillo Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen
As time goes on I realize Just what you mean To me And now Now that you're near Promise your love That I've waited to share And dreams Of our moments together Colour my world with hope of loving you
