about

Another song inspired by a guitar track by Charles.

lyrics

THE LONER

VS 1
THINKING BOUT SETTLING DOWN
FIND A PLACE IN A NO ACCOUNT TOWN
SOMEWHERE WHERE NOBODY KNOWS MY NAME

KINDA PLACE WHERE NOBODY CARES
IF I LIVE OR DIE AND NOBODY STARES
AT A STRANGER WITH A HAUNTED LOOK IN HIS EYE

BRIDGE
I GOTTA LIVE MY LIFE ON MY OWN
NO-ONE TO CALL ME ON THE PHONE
THE WORLD CAN PASS ME BY
NEVER LOOK ME IN THE EYE
I’LL BE THE LONER

VS 2
SPEAK TO NO-ONE CAN’T ADMIT WHAT I’VE DONE
LEFT A BEAUTIFUL HEART ON THE RUN
I TOOK YOU LOVE THEN I THREW IT AWAY

CAN’T FORGIVE MYSELF
SO I’LL SPEND MY LIFE HERE ON THE SHELF
YOU DIDN’T DESERVE WHAT I DID TO YOU NOW I’M SO BLUE
AND I’LL BE THE LONER

BRIDGE
I CAN’T SEE A WAY OUT OF THIS
I CAN’T FIX IT WITH A LOVER’S KISS
I’VE LOST YOU THAT’S FOR SURE
NOW EVERMORE I’LL BE THE LONER

VS 3
THINKING BACK I BROKE ALL THE RULES
GOT TO ADMIT I WAS A FOOL
TO LOSE THE ONLY GOOD THING THAT I EVER HAD

BROKE YOUR HEART CUT YOU IN TWO
NOW IT’S TOO LATE NOTHING I CAN DO
CAN’T MAKE BETTER EVERYTHING THAT I MADE SO BAD

BRIDGE
I’LL NEVER REDEEM MYSELF
THIS TRUTH I KNOW SO WELL
I KNOW I DON’T DESERVE ANOTHER CHANCE

GOODBYE FROM THE LONER
I AM THE LONER
ALWAYS THE LONER

about

Barry Kingsbeer Stratford Upon Avon, UK

I've played bass and sung since I was 13. Pro back in the sixties for a while doing the beat group thing through to some spectacularly unsuccessful recordings. Over the years I've been lucky to have worked with some great players. I started writing songs in the 70s but not seriously until a few years ago. I write to please myself but if anyone likes anything that they hear here - that's a bonus. ... more
