In My Hole
In My Hole
Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Every time a bird sings
Every time a bell rings
I go berserk
I climb into my hole
And sit there like a mole
Playing with the dirt
Contradicting people who think of me as being
So soft and gentle
Very clean
I used to have a daisy
A purple one called Maisy
Stuck on my bed
It didn't bother me
Yet when the landlord, Freestone saw it he said
Take it out at once or evicted you must go
So here I am in my hole
Watching people pass me by
Each of them in their own world and me in mine
I've never bitten off any more than I can chew
Never wanted too-
Every time a bird sings
Every time a bell rings
I go berserk
And as I've said before
I sit there like a mole
Playing with the dirt
Call it what you like
And by all means tell a soul
I'm very happy in my hole
Running round from time to time
Stopping only to unwind
Everything I have is mine
In my hole
Length about the width of a pole
Width about the length of a bowl
Hollywood style!

Lonely Too Long
Lonely Too Long
Composer(s): Marty Robbins
Performer(s): Marty Robbins; Don Johnson
She's on the phone again
Wants to come home again
Wants to try one more time
To prove she's really mine
She wants to try again
I know she'll lie again
To take her back is wrong
But I've been lonely too long
The chance is very slim
That she's forgotten him
She may be tryin' to hide
The hurt, the wounded pride
There's just a chance that she
Might reconsider me
But chances are I'm wrong
But I've been lonely too long
Lonely too long, too long
Walked on like dirt
Lonely too long, too long
And oh, how it hurts
She knows that I'll give in
I'll take her back again
And once more I'll be wrong
But I've been lonely too long

In My Defence
In My Defence
Composer(s): Dave Clark; Jeff Daniels; David Soames
Performer(s): Freddie Mercury
In my defence what is there to say
All the mistakes we made must be faced today
It's not easy now knowing where to start
While the world we love tears itself apart
I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream
In my defence what is there to say
We destroy the love - it's our way
We never listen enough never face the truth
Then like a passing song
Love is here and then it's gone
I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream
I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
I'm just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between with a fading dream
Caught in between with a fading dream
Caught in between with a fading dream
Oh what on earth
Oh what on earth
How do I try
Do we live or die
Oh help me God
Please help me

Lonely Teenager
Lonely Teenager
Composer(s): Jim (H. M.) Faraci - Sal Rappa - Sandro Di Paolo
Performer(s): Dion
I wanna go home
Where I belong
'Cause now I'm just a lonely teenager
When I was 16 ran away
All alone on a stray
What can I do what can I say
I'm a lonely teenager
Now I'm 17 still alone
Wondering if I should go home
Or maybe stay out on my own
I'm a lonely teenager
I'd love to go back home (back home)
Where I belong (back home)
I know I'd be alright
If I just stay out of sight
I wanna go home
Where I belong
'Cause now I'm just a lonely teenager
(I wanna go back home
Just let me go back home)
I'd love to go back home (back home)
Where I belong (back home)
I know I'd be alright
If I just stay out of sight
I wanna go home
Where I belong
'Cause now i'm just a lonely teenager
(I wanna go back home
Please let me go back home)
Lonely teenager ...

In My Arms
In My Arms
Composer(s): Ted Grouya; Frank Loesser
Performer(s): Dick Haymes
and multiple other artists
His cousin had sent him a sweater
And his sister wrote a letter
But he wanted something much better
This boy who was sailing away
For his buddies were with their sweethearts
All around him with their sweethearts
Now he'd never had any sweethearts
And over and over he'd say
In my arms, in my arms
Ain't I never gonna have a girl in my arms
In my arms, in my arms
Ain't I never gonna get a bundle of charms
Comes the dawn, I'll be gone
I just gotta have a honey holdin' me tight
You can keep your knittin' and purlin'
If I'm gonna go to Berlin
Gimme a girl in my arms tonight
His grandma had sent him some candy
And as he chewed on the candy
He said my morale is just dandy
And still there's a tear in my eye
For his buddies were there with their sweethearts
Kissing bye-bye with their sweethearts
Now he'd never had any sweethearts
And over and over he'd cry
In my arms, in my arms
Ain't I never gonna have a girl in my arms
In my arms, in my arms
Ain't I never gonna get a bundle of charms
Comes the dawn, I'll be gone
And I thank you for the many letters you'll write
As for something nice and cute and female
I'll never get it in the V-mail
Gimme a girl in my arms tonight
In my arms, in my arms
Ain't I never gonna have a girl in my arms
In my arms, in my arms
Ain't I never gonna get a bundle of charms
Comes the dawn, I'll be gone
I'll be headin' for the very thick of the fight
You can wine and dine and cigarette me
But if you really wanna get me
Gimme a girl in my arms tonight
In my arms, in my arms
Ain't I never gonna have a girl in my arms
In my arms, in my arms
Ain't I never gonna get a bundle of charms
Comes the dawn, I'll be gone
Now does anyone wanna please treat me right
You can keep your shavin' cream and lotion
If I'm a-gonna cross the ocean
Give me a girl in my arms tonight

In M'n Droom
In M'n Droom
Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; Nelly Byl
Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Nooit zal jij m'n meisje zijn
Omdat jij met een ander trouwt
Met een jongen die van je houdt
En die mij als zijn vriend beschouwt
Nooit zal jij m'n meisje zijn
Omdat je te aller eerlijk bent
En hem al je liefde schenkt
Je bent niet vrij 't is nu voorbij
Maar in m'n droom
Neem ik jou steeds in m'n armen zo zacht
In m'n droom
Hou ik jou altijd zo dicht bij m'n hart
In m'n droom
Staat er niemand tussen jou en mij
Is er niemand zo verliefd als jij
Toch weet ik dat het nooit kan zijn
Nooit zal jij m'n meisje zijn
Van m'n liefde vermoed je niets
Als je mij in de ogen ziet
Daar mijn gelaat mij nooit verraadt
Heel m'n houding is maar schijn
Heel m'n leven een soort toneel
Dat ik dagelijks komedie speel
Maar 's nachts dan komt het tweede deel
Maar in m'n droom
Neem ik jou steeds in m'n armen zo zacht
In m'n droom
Hou ik jou altijd zo dicht bij m'n hart
In m'n droom
Staat er niemand tussen jou en mij
Is er niemand zo verliefd als jij
Toch weet ik dat het nooit kan zijn
Dat het nooit, nooit kan zijn
Dat het nooit, nooit kan zijn
Dat het nooit, nooit kan zijn

Bella Maria De Mi Alma
Bella Maria De Mi Alma
((English Version: Beautiful Maria Of My Soul (by Los Lobos) - 1987))
Composer(s): Robert Kraft - Arne Glimcher
Performer(s): Antonio Banderas & Compay Segundo
and multiple other artists
Si deseo sonreír
Pienso solamente en ti
En la magia del amor
En tu piel, en tu sabor
En la isla del dolor
Recuerdo tu calor
Desearía morir
Cerca de ti
Un ardiente corazón
Colorea mi pasión
Deseando compartir
El sentir de este vivir
En las olas de este mar
Sueño en la eternidad
Con cada luna vendrás
Con la marea te irás
En un caracol
Pienso oír tu voz
La bella María de mi amor
Aunque estemos separados
En un sueño angelical
Si llego de nuevo a amar
No hay razón, porque cambiar
Temo yo permanecer
Sin ti en la eternidad
Lejos nos pueden separar
Jamás pudiera olvidar
Tu risa celestial
Tus besos, tu calor
La bella María de mi amor
Si no te vuelvo a ver
No dejarás de ser
La bella María de mi amor

In M'n Bloed
In M'n Bloed
Performer(s): Liliane Saint-Pierre
Als je binnenkomt en ik jou sterk en stoer zie gaan
Dan breekt het vuur uit in m'n buik en blijft de wereld staan
Als je naar me kijkt dan vallen alle remmen weg
Want met je ogen heb je al m'n kleren uitgedaan
Maar al ben ik maar gewoon een vrouw, eentje die jij hebben wou
Ik ben niet zo gemakkelijk als je wellicht denken zou
Ook al brandt er in m'n binnenste alles wat jij hebben wou
Toch bewaar ik nog een sprankeltje ongrijpbaarheid voor jou
In m'n bloed
Je kan me niet vergeten want je loopt me steeds weer na
En ik zie hoe jij je voelt, waar ik ook ga
Al val ik voor jouw liefde, toch geef ik me niet zomaar
Als ik mij zal geven is m'n ja echt ja
Want al ben ik maar gewoon een vrouw, eentje die jij hebben wou
Ik ben niet zo gemakkelijk als je wellicht denken zou
Ook al brandt er in m'n binnenste alles wat jij hebben wou
Toch bewaar ik nog een sprankeltje ongrijpbaarheid voor jou
In m'n bloed
In m'n bloed
In m'n bloed

Lonely Street
Lonely Street
Composer(s): Carl Belew - Kenny Sowder - W.S. Stevenson
First release by: Carl Belew - 1956
Covered by multiple other artists
Where's this place called "Lonely Street?
I'm looking for that Lonely street
I've got a sad, sad tale to tell
I need a place to go and weep
Where's this place called Lonely Street?
A place where there's just loneliness
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called Lonely Street?
Perhaps upon that Lonely street
There's someone such as I
Who came to bury broken dreams
And watch an old love die
If I could find that Lonely street
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called Lonely Street?
Where's this place called Lonely Street?

In Love In Vain
In Love In Vain
Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Leo Robin
First release by: Margaret Whiting - 1946
Covered by multiple other artists
It's only human for anyone to want to be in love
Who wants to be in love in vain?
At night you hang around the house and eat your heart out
And cry your eyes out
And wrack your brain
You sit and wonder how anyone as wonderful as he
Could cause you such misery and pain
I thought that I would be in heaven
But I'm only up a tree
'Cause it's just my luck to be in love in vain
You sit and wonder how anyone as wonderful as he
Could cause you such misery and pain
I thought that I would be in heaven
But I'm only up a tree
'Cause its just my luck to be in love, just my luck to be in love
It's just my luck to be in love
in vain

Lonely Sky
Lonely Sky
Composer(s): Chris de Burgh
Performer(s): Chris de Burgh; Finbar Wright
The cold north wind they call "La Bise"
Is swirling round about my knees
Trees are crying leaves into the river
I'm huddled in this french caf
I never thought I'd see the day
But winter's here and summer's really over
And even the birds have packed up and gone
They're flying south with their song
And my love, she too has gone, she had to fly
Out there, it's such a lonely sky
They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ...
The old cathedral lights are low
She and I we'd often go there
To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer
Lords and ladies lie in stone
Hand in hand from long ago
And though their hands are cold they'll love forever
Even the choir rehearses those songs
For Christmas is not long
And alone, I sing my song, she had to fly
Take care, it's such a lonely sky
They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
Fly away, fly to me, and if you need my love
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ...
I'll come in with the dawn
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
On the wings of the morn
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
Above the world we'll be flying
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ...

In Love Alone
In Love Alone
Performer(s): Richard Carpenter & Dionne Warwick
I memorize the words I want to say
I practice every move I'll make
I polay the scene like you were here
and I feel every breath you take
But all my plans just seem to melt away
the moment you walk in the room
I try to speak but words won't come
Till I'm alone again
I'm leaving my heart on the shelf
sleep is a place I only cry myself
and dream by myself
I'm not in love alone
we put our two hearts together
just like I've always known
Once we begin we're forever
and I will never spend a long night
without you again
So now you know what I've been going through
Now all I really need to know
Is why your eyes look so surprised
Oh no! This can't be true
Would you have let me walk away?
Why have you kept your feelings locked away?
Did I hear you say?
I'm not in love alone
we put our two hearts together
just like I've always known
Once we begin we're forever
and I will never spend a long night
without you again

Lonely School
Lonely School
Composer(s): Tommy Shaw
Performer(s): Tommy Shaw
I drove past where we used to live
You might have caught a glimpse of me
As I passed by
I swear it's still hard to believe
But at the time it seemed so clear to me
I thought I had it all worded out
I packed all that was dear to me
And I left without a doubt that I'd
Given it all I had to give
Still nothing moved nothing changed
Nothing lived
I did everything that I could do
But now I've had time to sort it out
To graduate from lonely school
And now I've got to let you know
It's me who was the fool
It was me baby I was wrong
But how can I say it
You must have known it all along
It was you who was always strong
And I've got to tell you now
I've got to show you how I've
Changed so many of my ways
I left the band, steadied my hand and learned a trade
And I'm coming back this time to stay
And you won't recognize the boy
Who graduated lonely school
'Cause I've become quite wise about
Who was or not the fool
It was me baby I was wrong
But how can I say it
You must have known it all along
It was you who was always strong
And I've got to tell you now
I've got to show you how I've ...

In Love
In Love
Composer(s): Prince
Performer(s): Prince
Ever since I met you, baby, I've been wanting to lay you down
But it's so hard to get you, baby, when you never come around
Every day that U keep it away, it only makes me want it more
Ooo baby, just say the word and I'll be at your door
What more do I have to say?
I really wanna play in your river...
falling, falling, falling in love
I'm falling, baby, deeper every day (in love)
You're breakin' my heart and takin' me away (in love)
I'm falling, baby, girl, what can I do?
I just can't be without you
Ever since I met you, baby
There's been something inside of me
That keeps me wanting you, baby, won't you set me free
Take off these chains, girl, and I'll take off yours
There's no one in the world, baby, that I wanna love more
What else do I have to say?
I really wanna play in your river...
Falling, falling, falling in love
I'm falling, baby, deeper every day (in love)
You're breakin' my heart and takin' me away (in love)
I'm falling, baby, girl, what can I do?
I just can't be without you
I'm falling in love
I'm falling, baby, deeper everyday (in love)
You're breakin' my heart and takin' me away (in love)
And I'm falling, baby, girl, what can I do?
I just can't be without you
I'm falling... I'm falling... (in love)
I'm drownin', baby, in my love 4 you (in love)
You're breakin' my heart and takin' me away
I just don't... I don't know what to say
In love
In love
Oh baby-girl, U're takin' me away
Oh baby, baby...Oh baby, baby
In love
In love

Lonely People
Lonely People
Composer(s): Dan Peek - Catherine L. Peek
First release by: America - 1974
This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
And ride that highway in the sky
This is for all the single people
Thinking that love has left them dry
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
You never know until you try
Well, I'm on my way
Yes, I'm back to stay
Well, I'm on my way back home (Hit it)
This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
And never take you down or never give you up
You never know until you try

Beautiful Dreamer
Composer(s): Stephen Collins Foster
Performer(s): Bing Crosby with John Scott Trotter and His Orch.
and multiple other artists
Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee
Sounds of the rude world, heard in the day
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away!
Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song
List while I woo thee with soft melody
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea
Mermaids are chanting the wild lorelie
Over the streamlet vapors are borne
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn
Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart
E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
