.songs about being on yer own...all say ahhhhhhhhhhhhh !

When I was young I never needed anyone And makin' love was just for fun Those days are gone Livin' alone I think of all the friends I've known But when I dial the telephone Nobody's home All by myself Don't wanna be, all by myself anymore All by myself Don't wanna live, all by myself anymore Hard to be sure Sometimes I feel so insecure And love so distant and obscure Remains the cure

Alone - Heart I hear the ticking of the clock I'm lying here, the room's pitch dark I wonder where you are tonight No answer on the telephone And the night goes by so very slow Oh I hope that it won't end though Alone Til now I always got by on my own I never really cared until I met you And now it chills me to the bone How do I get you alone How do I get you alone You don't know how long i have wanted to touch your lips and hold you tight You don't know how long I have waited and I was going to tell you tonight But the secret is still my own and my love for you is still unknown Alone Til now I always got by on my own I never really cared until I met you And now it chills me to the bone How do I get you alone How do I get you alone Alone Alone

Living on an Island.......... waiting for my friends to come. I'll have a long wait if I wait for that Joan of Arc(hives) to answer! pmsl Hi Elaine.......you ok gal? xx

Kept singing this to myself yesterday Immortality Barry Gibb/Robin Gibb/Maurice Gibb So this is who I am And this is all I know And I must choose to live For all that I can give The spark that makes the power grow And I will stand for my dream if I can Symbol of my faith in who I am But you are my only And I must follow on the road that lies ahead And I won't let my heart control my head But you are my only And we don't say goodbye We don't say goodbye And I know what I've got to be Immortality I make my journey through eternity I keep the memory of you and me inside Fulfill your destiny Is there within the child My storm will never end My fate is on the wind The king of hearts, the joker's wild But we don't say goodbye We don't say goodbye I'll make them all remember me 'Cos I found a dream that must come true Every ounce of me must see it through But you are my only I'm sorry I don't have a role for love to play Hand over my heart I'll find my way I will make them give to me Immortality There is a vision and a fire in me I keep the memory of you and me inside And we don't say goodbye We don't say goodbye With all my love for you And what else we may do We don't say goodbye

Abhainn an t-Sluaigh (by C&R Macdonald - Runrig) The Crowded River Chan eil an t-adhar os cionn Lunnainn A-nochd soileir no dorch Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh Gun sgial air coinneal mor latha No reultan na h-oidhche Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh An sea s'am baile gun chadal Gun fhois is gun saorsa Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh Casan a' gluasad An abhainn an tuil Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh Na cuibhlichean, 's cabhaig A’ tionndaidh gun sgur Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh Cus ag adhradh beairtas Air altair an tshaoghail Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh Cach gun dochas gun dachaidh Air sraidean gun ghaol Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh Leis gach dath s'gach creideamh Gach cainnt as gach cearn Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh Gach ceist is gach freagairt sios an abhainn gu cuan Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh TRANSLATION: The skies above London Are neither clear nor dark The need to be far from the crowded river Neither the great candle of daylight Nor the stars of the night can be seen The need to be far from the crowded river In this city that never sleeps there is stillness, no quiet The need to be far from the crowded river Footsteps keep moving The river in full flood The need to be far from the crowded river The relentless wheels Keep turning without pause The need to be far from the crowded river Many worshipping wealth At the world's altar The need to be far from the crowded river Others without hope or home On streets that hold no love The need to be far from the crowded river Races creeds and tongues From all corners of the globe The need to be far from the crowded river All questions and answer Rushing down the river to the ocean The need to be far from the crowded river

Only the lonely

Elaine, your posting with the words to All By Myself are so nostalgic for me, and it is a song that is used often on tv ads. So hard for a friend of mine, Ivy, who is over 80 now. It must hurt her whenever she hears the song. She and my mum were friends and then met again when her son and I started infant school together more than 50 years ago. I went through all my schooling with David and then we lost touch except for the odd bit of info via our mum's. David had an unsuccessful first marriage and no children, and was a bit of a Jack the Lad for a long time, till he met and married a much younger woman. However, that didn't work out and they split up, and one night after spending the evening in the local pub with some of his friends, David went home and played that song, then took his own life. His brother went round after friends couldn't contact David, and he had hanged himself in his garage. That was in November 1998. Jack the Lad had really been sad and lonely underneath the bravado. He was 51. The song was played at his funeral and it broke my heart to think of David's desperation. Coincidentally I will be popping in to see his mum tomorrow. Liz
