Lonely Feet
Composer(s): Jerome Kern - Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Adele Dixon
and multiple other artists



Lonely feet, while others are gliding by
Here are my lonely feet waiting to dance
Lonely arms, all eager to hold a waist
Well-embraced, lonely arms wait for a dance

If any girl would be keen to follow me
Wouldn’t I lead her, wouldn’t I feed her
Simply divine

Oh to meet the thrill of a joy that’s new
Feeling two other feet stepping with mine

Lonely Days
Composer(s): Barry Gibb - Maurice Gibb - Robin Gibb
Performer(s): Bee Gees



Good morning mister sunshine, you brighten up my day
Come sit beside me in your way
I see you every morning, outside the restaurants
The music plays so nonchalant

Lonely days, lonely nights. Where would I be without my woman?
Lonely days, lonely nights. Where would I be without my woman?

Good morning mister sunshine, you brighten up my day
Come sit beside me in your way

Lonely days, lonely nights 
Where would I be without my woman?
Lonely days, lonely nights 
Where would I be without my woman?

Lonely Boy 
Composer(s): Paul Anka
First release by: Paul Anka - 1959



I’m just a lonely boy, lonely and blue
I’m all alone with nothing to do
I've got everything you could think of
But all I want is someone to love
Someone, yes someone to love, someone to kiss
Someone to hold at a moment like this
I'd like to hear somebody say
"I’ll give you my love each night and day"
Somebody, somebody, somebody, please send her to me
I’ll make her happy, just wait and see
I prayed so hard to the heavens above
That I might find someone to love

Lonely Boy
Composer(s): Andrew Gold
Performer(s): Andrew Gold



He was born on a summer day 1951
And with a slap of a hand 
He landed as an only son
His mother and father said what a lovely boy
We'll teach him what we learned 
Ah yes just what we learned
We'll dress him up warmly and 
We'll send him to school
It'll teach him how to fight 
To be nobody's fool

Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy

In the summer of '53 his mother 
Brought him a sister 
And she told him we must attend to her needs
She's so much younger than you
Well he ran down the hall and he cried
Oh how could his parents have lied 
When they said he was an only son
He thought he was the only one 

Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy

Goodbye mama, goodbye to you
Goodbye papa I'm pushing on through

He left home on a winter day 1969
And he hoped to find all the love 
He had lost in that earlier time
Well his sister grew up 
And she married a man
He gave her a son
Ah yes a lovely son
They dressed him up warmly
They sent him to school
It taught him how to fight 
To be nobody's fool

Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy

Now my room has got two windows but the sunshine never comes thru
You know it's always dark and dreary since I broke off, baby, with you!

I live on a lonely avenue
My little girl wouldn't say, "I do"
Well, I feel so sad and blue
and it's all because of you
I could cry, I could cry, I could cry
I could die, I could die, I could die
because I live on a lonely avenue, lonely avenue

(Now my) covers they feel like lead and my pillow it feels like stone
Well, I've tossed and turned so ev'ry night
I'm not used to being alone!

I live on a lonely avenue
My little girl wouldn't say, "I do"
Well, I feel so sad and blue
and it's all because of you
I could cry, I could cry, I could cry
I could die, I could die, I could die
because I live on a lonely avenue, lonely avenue

Now I've been so sad and lonesome since you've left this town
If I could beg or borrow the money, child, I would be a highway bound!

I live on a lonely avenue
My little girl wouldn't say, "I do"
Well, I feel so sad and blue
and it's all because of you
I could cry, I could cry, I could cry
I could die, I could die, I could die
because I live on a lonely avenue, lonely avenue

I've been around the world had my pick of any girl
You'd think I'd be happy but I'm not
Ev'rybody knows my name
But it's just a crazy game oh, it's lonely at the top
Listen to the band, they're playing just for me
Listen to the people paying just for me
All the applause, all the parades
And all the money I have made oh, it's lonely at the top

Listen all you fools out there
Go on and love me, I don't care
Oh, it's lonely at the top
Oh, it's lonely at the top

Lonely Again
Composer(s): Jean Chapel
Performer(s): Eddy Arnold
and multiple other artists



You told me that others before you
Were foolish to cause me to cry
And just when I learned to adore you
You kissed one more dream goodbye

And left me lonley again
Just like you found me
Lonely again
No arms around me

Just when I’m sure
That my heart is secure
And my tear drops are dry
With a warm glow inside
And this love of mine
Till the end of the line
That’s always the time
That I’m lonely again

You told me you wanted me only
That this time and this love would last
You told me I’d never be lonely
And now you belong to the past

And I’m so lonley again
Just like you found me
Lonely again
No arms around me

Just when I’m sure
That my heart is secure
And my tear drops are dry
With a warm glow inside
And this love of mine
Till the end of the line
That’s always the time
That I’m lonely again

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

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

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

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

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 

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

London Town
Performer(s): Paul McCartney & Wings



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?

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

Of our moments together 
Colour my world with hope 
of loving you

London Calls
Composer(s): Richard Eckersley - Wreford
Performer(s): Billy Cotton & His Band



London calls, great St. Paul’s
Booming out the fleeting hours
Carried to the people on London Bridge
Muffled by the wintry showers

Half past ten, cold Big Ben
Time to go to bed and hear
The melancholy hooting of tugs at night
Passing some deserted pier

I miss Westminster, I miss Kew
I love to see it in the spring
I miss my Sunday visits to the zoo
I miss everything

London calls, its music halls
The theatres with the latest plays
In spring or in the autumn, in sunshine, rain
London calls, I must obey

The barrow boys, the lights, the noise
In Hoxton on a busy night
The happy little sparrows upon the streets
Of London when the sun shines bright

The Mile End Road, where traffic flowed
For many a hundred year
The cosy little pubs with quaint old names
Open for a glass of beer

Brixton in the sunshine on a summer day
Limehouse ‘neath a leaden pall
Whitechapel at work, Whitechapel at play
I love ‘em all

The busy queues, they air their views
Waiting for the bus to stop
The silent squares deserted at dead of night
Save for an occasional cop

London gives, London gives
Happiness to all her friends
London for so many is still the place
Will the journey end?
