Long Lonely Nights
Composer(s): Lee Andrews - Bernice Davis - Douglas Henderson - Mimi Uniman
Performer(s): Bobby Vinton



Long, long and lonely nights 
I cry my eyes out over you 
Wond'ring if I did right 
And why you left me with a broken heart 

Oh, long, long and lonely nights 
Oh, how I miss you, my dear 
Please, please, come back to me 
How I wish you were here 

As I go along my lonely way I visualize your face 
When I pass through (yeah!) my doorway 
What's left for me to face? 

Oh, long, long and lonely nights 
I guess you're never coming home 
Long, long and lonely nights 
Ever since you've been gone 

As I go along my lonely way I visualize your face 
When I pass through (yeah!) my doorway 
What's left for me to face? 

Oh, oh, oh, long, long and lonely nights 
I guess you're never coming home 
Long, long and lonely nights 
Ever since you've been gone 

Please, please, come back to me 
You've been gone too long

Long Live Love
Composer(s): Chris Andrews
First release by: Sandie Shaw - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



Venus must have heard my plea
She has sent someone along for me

I have waited a long, long time
For someone to call mine
And at last he's come along
Baby, oh, nothing can go wrong
We meet every night at eight
And I don't get home till late
I say to myself each day
Baby, oh long, long live love

True love must be the greatest thing
I know now why singers sing
Of the moon and stars above
How I love to be in love
We meet every night at eight
And I don't get home till late
I say to myself each day
Baby, oh long, long live love

Now of one thing I'm more than sure
Since love come I don't want more
Than to kiss him every night
Makes everything all right
We meet every night at eight
And I don'' get home till late
I say to myself each day
Baby, oh long, long live love

We meet every night at eight
And I don't get home till late
I say to myself each day
Baby, oh long, long live love
Long, long live love

In The Baggage Coach Ahead 
Composer(s): Gussie L. Davis; Stephen Dankner



On a dark stormy night
as the train rattled on
all the passengers 
had gone to bed
Except one young man
with a babe in his arms
who sat there with a 
bowed down head
 
The innocent one 
began crying just then
as though its poor heart
would break

One angry man said 
"Make that child stop its noise
for it's keeping all of us awake"

"Put it out" said another
"don't keep it in here 
we've paid for our berths
and want rest" 

But never a word 
said the man with the child 
as he fondled it 
close to his breast

"Where is it's mother
go take it to her" 
this a lady then softly said

"I wish that I could" 
was the man's sad reply
"but she's dead 
in the coach ahead" 

While the train rolled onward
a husband sat in tears
thinking of the happiness 
of just a few short years

For baby's face 
brings pictures of 
a cherished hope 
that's dead

But baby's cries 
can't waken her
in the baggage
coach ahead

Every eye filled with tears
when his story he told
of a wife who was faithful and true

He told how he'd saved 
all his earnings for years
just to build up a home for two

How when heaven 
had sent them 
this sweet little babe
their young happy lives were blessed

His heart seemed to break
when he mentioned her name
and in tears 
tried to tell them the rest

Every woman arose
to assist with the child
There were mothers 
and wives on that train  

And soon was the little one 
sleeping in peace
with no thought of 
sorrow or pain

Next morn' at a station 
he bade all "Goodbye" 
"God Bless You" 
he softly said

Each one had a story 
to tell in their home
of the baggage coach ahead

While the train rolled onward
a husband sat in tears
thinking of the happiness 
of just a few short years
for baby's face brings pictures of 
a cherished hope that's dead

But, baby's cries 
can't waken her
in the baggage coach ahead

In The Autumn Of My Madness
Composer(s): Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum



In the autumn of my madness when my hair is turning grey
for the milk has finally curdled and I've nothing left to say
When all my thoughts are spoken (save my last departing birds)
bring all my friends unto me and I'll strangle them with words

In the autumn of my madness which in coming won't be long
for the nights are now much darker and the daylight's not so strong
and the things which I believed in are no longer quite enough
for the knowing is much harder and the going's getting rough

I've got a dentist who's over seven feet tall
Yes, I've got a dentist who's over seven feet tall
Long John they call him, and he answers every call

Well, I went to Long Johns office and told him the pain was killin'
Yes, I went to Long Johns office and told him the pain was killin'
He told me not to worry, that my cavity just needed fillin'

He said, "When I start drillin', I'll have to give you novocaine"
He said, "Yes, when I start drillin', I'll have to give you novocaine"
Cause ev'ry woman just can't stand the pain"

He took out his trusted drill and he told me to open wide
He said he wouldn't hurt me but he'd fill that hole inside
Long John, Long John, you've got that golden touch
You thrill me when you drill me, and I need you very much

When he got through, he said "Baby, that will cost you ten"
Yes when he got through, he said "Baby, that will cost you ten
Six months from now, come back and see me again"

Say you're supposed to see your dentist 'bout twice a year, that's right
But I think I feel it throbbin', yes, I'll go back there tonight
Long John, Long John, don't ever move away
Say, I hope I keep on achin' so I can see you every day

If I could hold you in the arms of love tonight
I'd never let you go
As the hours go by I'd show you why we've waited for this

The day has died away, let's find a hideaway
And share the promise of a new tomorrow
In the arms of love tonight
The day has died away, let's find a hideaway
And share the promise of a new tomorrow
In the arms of love tonight
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

I've got a long grey mare, she won't let me ride
I got a long grey mare, she won't let me ride
She makes me brush her in the morning
And put her to bed every night

Long grey mare, why can't we be just like before
Long grey mare, why can't we be just like before
We used to ride so hard
Until we just couldn't ride no more

Look at me grey mare, don't I feed you everyday
Look at me grey mare, don't I feed you everyday
But when I dig you with my spurs
You turn around the other way

A vacation in a foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Now you remember what the draftman said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

You be the hero of thw neibourhood
Nobody knows that you left for good
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Smiling faces as you wait to land
But once you get there no one gives a damn
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Hand grenades flying over your head
Missiles flying over your head
If you want to survive get out of bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Shots ring out in the dad of night
The sergant calls "Stand up and fight"
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

You've got your orders better shoot on sight
Your finger's on the trigger
But it don't seem right
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Long Gone
Composer(s): Burton Cummings - Domenic Troiano
Performer(s): The Guess Who



Who in the Hell are you to criticize
Every day and every night you’re just a drag
You’ve been long gone, long gone ...

You are working from a point of depression
Isn’t it amazing when you find you’re slipping
You’ve been long gone, long gone ...

I guess you’ve always been a power-hungry specimen
You were raised with rank in mind
I’d gladly give away everything I’ve ever owned
For the chance to stab you from behind
Cause I’m tired of what you’re saying
It’s not worth the paper it’s printed on
It just doesn’t cut it anymore

Each time the sun greets the new dawning
I’ll try to kick you while you’re down
Welcome to the Kingdom of Hatred
You’ll find out soon that I wear the crown
I’m tired of what you been sayin’
It’s not worth the time to discuss it
You just don’t cut it anymore

Who in the Hell are you to criticize
You’re still learning how to form an opinion
You’ve been long gone, long gone ...

On nous avait dit "c'est pour un soir"
On est encore là vingt ans plus tard
Ici les Enfoirés
Oh oh oh rejoins notre armée

Les saltimbanques c'est pas sérieux
Mais les ministères n'ont pas fait mieux
Ici les enfoirés
Oh oh oh rejoins notre armée

Faut-il chanter contre les misères
Ou bien se taire, passer, ne rien faire
Ici les Enfoirés
Oh oh oh rejoins notre armée

Chaque année plus de gens secourus
Mais chaque année plus encore à la rue
Ici les Enfoirés
Oh oh oh rejoins notre armée

Chanter, chanter même à en pleurer
Entre un rêve et la réalité
Ici les Enfoirés
Oh oh oh rejoins notre armée

Parfois je me demande à quoi ça sert
Espèce d'Enfoiré, chante et espère
Ici les Enfoirés
Oh oh oh rejoins notre armée

Et si tu trouves un jour la solution
On fêtera tous notre dissolution
Ici les Enfoirés
Oh oh oh rejoins notre armée

On nous avait dit "c'est pour un soir"
On est encore là vingt ans plus tard
Ici les Enfoirés
Oh oh oh rejoins notre armée 

Long Distance Love
Composer(s): Lowell George
First release by: Little Feat - 1975



Ah, hello ... 
Give me missing persons, they said
What is it that you need?
I said oh, I need her so ...
She said you've
Got to stop your pleading

'Cause no matter what you do
Even pray to heaven above, ooh
All you'll ever get from her is
Long distance love

I read the papers
And I got the blues
I'm so sad to hear the news
Help wanted, but not enough
You know these times are gettin' rough

'cause no matter what Ido
Even pray to heaven above
All I ever get from her is long distance love
Woo-oh-ah-ha

You know her toes were so pretty
And her life so sweet
I wonder do she know
Do she she know she hurt me so

'cause no matter what I do
I even pray to heaven above
All I seem to get from her is
Long distance love
Long distance love

In The Air Tonight
Composer(s): Phil Collins

Covered by multiple other artists



I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord

Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, Oh Lord, Oh Lord

Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show; but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord... 

Long Dark Road
Composer(s): Tony Hicks - Kenny Lynch
Performer(s): The Hollies



It's over, well over
In my mind and in my heart
It's over, well over
But then again, it didn't have a good start
You'd tell me, try to sell me
It could have been all I asked
It's over, well over
Yes, there it flows away a distant past
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
And you know I loved you
Yes, you know I loved you
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
And you know I loved you
Yes, you know I loved you
It's over, well over
And we can't revive what's passed
It's gone now, moved on now,
But then again, it didn't have a chance to last
(No, no, no, a chance to last)
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, it's a long, dark road

In The Afterglow
Composer(s): David Gates
Performer(s): Bread



Here in the afterglow of what we've done
What remains here in the after show
Of what we've seen.
Is it strange to be falling away now
Or would you say we should have known
It would end this way and both of us turn to dust
We went deeper deeper in debt to games and lies
We got over our head and never realized
How, when or why
But now as I sit reflecting on your face
In my hand
Now I can see your picture helps retrace
All the steps we took, places we went to
Thoughts that we tried, tripping along
On a love we never understood with no guide
Many things were taken for granted all along
Firm foundations never were planted
All went wrong.
We fell down, and broke in a million pieces
We couldn't put it all together
We couldn't put it all together again

Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)
Composer(s): Roger Greenaway - Roger Cook - Allan Clarke
First release by: The Hollies - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles piling high

Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman singing a song

A pair of 45's made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5-9 beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all

I saw her heading to the table
Well a tall walking big black cat
When Charlie said I hope that you're able, boy
Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at
Well then suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
Jumping under doors and tables
Well I heard somebody shooting a gun

Well the DA was pumping my left hand
And she was holding my right
Well I told her, "Don't get scared
'Cause you're gonna be spared"
Well I'm gonna be forgiven
If I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5-9 beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
Had it all, had it all, had it all ...

A true love or a summer affair
No one knows and nobody cares

All your blues will disappear
Doin’ things you’ve planned all year

Ooh, In summer, (In summer)
Walkin’ with the boys
Talkin’ with the girls
Laughin’ with the boys and
Kissin’ all the girls

Roll on summer
Come on summer ...

The Long Black Veil 
Composer(s): Danny Dill - Marijohn Wilkin
First release by: Lefty Frizzell - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists



Ten years ago on a cool dark night 
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light 
There were few at the scene and they all did agree 
That the man who ran looked a lot like me

The judge said ``Son, what is your alibi? 
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die'' 
I spoke not a word although it meant my life 
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife

She walks these hills in a long black veil 
She visits my grave where the night winds wail 
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees 
Nobody knows but me 

The sky froze high and eternity neared 
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear 
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans 
In a long black veil she cries over my bones

In Spite Of Ourselves
Composer(s): John Prine
Performer(s): John Prine



She don't like her eggs all runny
She thinks crossin' her legs is funny
She looks down her nose at money
She gets it on like the Easter Bunny
She's my baby I'm her honey
I'm never gonna let her go

He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
He ain't too sharp but he gets things done
Drinks his beer like it's oxygen
He's my baby
And I'm his honey
Never gonna let him go

In spite of ourselves
We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
Against all odds
Honey, we're the big door prize
We're gonna spite our noses
Right off of our faces
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
Dancin' in our eyes

She thinks all my jokes are corny
Convict movies make her horny
She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs
Swears like a sailor when shaves her legs
She takes a lickin'
And keeps on tickin'
I'm never gonna let her go

He's got more balls than a big brass monkey
He's a wacked out werido and a lovebug junkie
Sly as a fox and crazy as a loon
Payday comes and he's howlin' at the moon
He's my baby I don't mean maybe
Never gonna let him go

In spite of ourselves
We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
Against all odds
Honey, we're the big door prize
We're gonna spite our noses
Right off of our faces
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
Dancin' in our eyes
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
Dancin' in our eyes

In spite of ourselves
