Always Together (The Dells)
Always Together
Composer(s): Bobby Miller - Helen Miller
Performer(s): The Dells
Just you, just me, always together
I made up my mind years ago
When I first gazed upon you I'd never let you go
And it's amazing baby
How we loved each other so
And we'll always be (always be)
Always together
We'll have our problems
But we'll face them with pride
Our love is protection
And we don't have to hide
And a thousand nights I'll kiss away
(The happy tears you cry)
And we'll always be (always be)
Always together
Just you, just me
Always, always, always,
Always, always, always,
When the years have turned
Your hair to silver
And the days of our youth
Have left us so very far behind
Golden, golden memories
Will keep in our minds
And we'll always be (always be)
Always together
Just you, just me
Always, always, always ...

Lost In The Supermarket
Lost In The Supermarket
Composer(s): Topper Headon - Paul Simonon - Joe Strummer - Mick Jones
First release by: The Clash - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists
I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for that special offer
A guaranteed personality
I wasn't born so much as I fell out
Nobody seemed to notice me
We had a hedge back home in the suburbs
Over which I never could see
I heard the people who lived on the ceiling
Scream and fight most scarily
Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling
That's how it's been all around me
I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for that special offer
A guaranteed personality
I'm all tuned in, I see all the programmes
I save coupons from packets of tea
I've got my giant hit discoteque album
I empty a bottle and I feel a bit free
The kids in the halls and the pipes in the walls
Make me noises for company
Long distance callers make long distance calls
And the silence makes me lonely
I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for that special offer
A guaranteed personality
And it's not hear
It disappear
I'm all lost

Lost In The Shadows
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
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
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
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
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
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

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
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
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

Lost In A Fog
Composer(s): Dorothy Fields - Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Rudy Vallee & His Connecticut Yankees
and multiple other artists
Like a Ship at sea, I'm just lost in a fog
My mind is hazy, my thoughts are blue
Guess I'll always be kinda
Lost in a fog without you
Waitin' night and day like a bump on a log
I'm goin' crazy, what can I do
Help me find my way
`Cos I'm lost in a fog without you
It was sunny every day
The sky was fair above
But you took the light away
The day you took your love
Only fools like me could be tossed in a bog
I've got a heartache I never knew
Guess I'll always be kinda
Lost in a fog without you
Like a ship at sea, I'm lost in a fog
My mind is hazy, my thoughts are blue
Guess I'll always be kinda
Lost in a fog without you
Waitin' night and day like a bump on a log
I'm goin' crazy, what can I do
Help me find my way
`Cos I'm lost in a fog without you
It was sunny every day
The sky was fair above
But you took the light away
The day you took your love
Only fools like me could be tossed in a bog
I've got a heartache I never knew
Guess I'll always be kinda
Lost in a fog without you
