"Gloria", that was a hit
in Europe in the late seventies, made a new Pop Star: Laura
Branigan, owner of a powerful voice. Another songs were important
too, "All night with me" a clear and sensual
invitation to love, "I wish we could be alone"
with the sweetness of Laura's voice, "If you
loved me" when you hear it, you can "..walk in the rainbow.."
and "Please stay..go away" that sounds
to me like "Gloria". In this album you can find all the Branigan's
glory of her early years.
(1982)
Song List:
I wish I knew what you were thinkin'
Sometimes with you it's hard to tell
You lay beside me without speakin'
Words are hard to find, better left behind
You pull me close as if to answer
The question runnin' through my head
If words could say it any better:
Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin'
All night with me?
Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin'
All night with me?
Does it feel good? If it feels right, stay all night
We'll wake up early in the mornin'
Or never go to sleep at all
So happy just to be together
Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin'
All night with me?
Does it feel good, do you feel like
stayin'
All night with me?
If it feels good, if it feels right, stay all night
It's a long night, there'll be time for playin'
Never felt so right just to hear you sayin'
That it's all right, and you feel like stayin'
All night with me
Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin'
All night with me?
Does it feel good, does it feel right?
Why don't you stay all night with me?
Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin'
All night with me?
Does it feel good, does it feel right?
Why don't you stay all night with me?
Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin'
All night with me? Does it feel ... [fade out]
Gloria, you're always on the run now
Running after somebody,
you gotta get him somehow
I think you've got to slow down
before you start to blow it
I think you're headed for a breakdown,
so be careful not to show it
You really don't remember,
was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head
calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you,
why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh,
calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria),
I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria)
that you've been living under (Gloria)
But you really don't remember,
was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head
calling, Gloria?
A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha, Gloria,
how's it gonna go down?
Will you meet him on the main line,
or will you catch him on the rebound?
Will you marry for the money,
take a lover in the afternoon?
Feel your innocence slipping away,
don't believe it's comin' back soon
And you really don't remember,
was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head
calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you,
why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh,
calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria),
I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria)
that you've been living under (Gloria)
But you really don't remember,
was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head
calling, Gloria?
(Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria)
(Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria) ... [fade out]
I try to be all of the things you say I'm
not
You never fail to remind me of what I haven't got
I get so tired of pleasin' you
You never give me a reason to
If you tell me you're leavin',
you know what I'll say
Where would I be, how could I live?
Where would I go, and what would I give?
What can I say, how do I stand?
Where do I fall if there's no more lovin' you baby?
Sometimes it's harder stickin' around
than seein' you go
And the way that you laugh about it
is your way of lettin' me know
You couldn't care less if I was gone
Still I keep on hangin' on
'cos if you tell me you're leavin',
you know what I'll say
Where would I be, how could I live?
Where would I go, and what would I give?
What can I say, how do I stand?
Where do I fall if there's no more lovin' you baby?
You couldn't care less if I was gone
Still I keep on hangin' on
'cos if you tell me you're leavin',
you know what I'll say
Where would I be, how could I live?
Where would I go, and what would I give?
What can I say, how do I stand?
Where do I fall if there's no more lovin' you baby?
No more lovin' you baby
Where would I be, how could I live?
Where would I go, and what would I give?
What can I say, how do I stand?
Where do I fall if there's no more lovin' you baby?
How could I live?
Where would I go, and what would I give?
What can I say, how do I stand?
Where do I fall if there's no more lovin' you baby?
How could I live? Where would I go,
and what would I give ... [fade out]
You've been callin' and
there's no answer
Now you're wondering why
How'd you get in this
situation?
Now it's your turn to cry
You're living a lie,
you're wasting your time
Caught in a dream,
you're living a lie
You're living a lie,
you're wasting your time
Caught in a dream,
you're living a lie
You keep wonderin'
where she's goin'
Just to find where she's been
Could it be she no
longer loves you?
Could it be it's the end?
You're living a lie,
you're wasting your time
Caught in a dream,
I said you're living a lie
You're living a lie,
you're wasting your time
Caught in a dream,
you're living a lie
Somebody better help this boy
He's chasing rainbows in the sky
But there's a fool in every boy
The things you never question why
You're living a lie,
you're wasting your time
Caught in a dream,
you're living a lie
You're living a lie,
you're wasting your time
Caught in a dream,
I said you're living a lie
You're living a lie,
you're wasting your time
Caught in a dream, ah,
you're living a lie
You're living a lie,
you're wasting your time
Caught in a dream,
you're living a lie
You're living a lie,
you're wasting your time ... [fade out]
If you loved me,
I'm sure that you would know
Wouldn't be so easy
for you to let me go
If you loved me,
you'd put away your pride
And put some love inside,
and hold it there forever
If you loved me,
if you ever did before
You could find those feelings,
and feel them all once more
If you loved me,
that love would pull us through
You'd do all you could do
to keep that love together
You had me walkin' on a rainbow
that vanished at my feet
Now that it's over,
I see the truth my heart refused to see
If you loved me
the way I love you from the start
Wouldn't be so easy
for you to break my heart
If you loved me,
you'd give it one more try
You wouldn't let it die,
you'd hold me close forever
If you loved me
If you loved me
If you loved me like I love you
Please
stay, go away
I'm caught in a crossfire, with nowhere
to run
I'm keepin' my head down, 'cos I've got only one
I'm up on a high wire, with nothin' but air
I'm feelin' so nervous, with so
many places to go But I'm goin' nowhere
I'm ridin' a circle, it's twistin' my head
I feel like I'm moving, but my feet feel like lead
I'm drowning in quicksand, it's pullin' me down
I feel so abandoned, when I,
I reach for the sky I still can't get off the ground
Please stay, go away
Can't you see darling that you're drivin' me crazy? Please stay,
go away
Can't you see you're drivin' me crazy?
I'm deep in a forest, I can't find a tree
I'm chained to your heart, but I can't find the key
So show me the way, oh, I'm too blind to see
My mind's leaning left, while my heart
tells me it's right But it seems wrong to me
Please stay, go away
Can't you see darling that you're drivin' me crazy? Please stay,
go away
Can't you see you're drivin' me crazy?
So you want me to feel, then you turn like a wheel
Don't you know that I love ya?
Do I have to explain that I'm livin' your pain?
I can't take it again, but I don't want it to end
So please stay, go away
Can't you see darling that you're drivin' me crazy? Please stay,
go away
Can't you see you're drivin' me crazy?
Please stay, go away
Can't you see darling you're really drivin' me crazy? Please stay,
go away
Can't you see you're drivin' me crazy?
Please stay, go away
Can't you see darling ... [fade out]
I wish we could be alone
So all of the world couldn't see
How much we have together
And how much you mean to me
I wish we could put out the flame
But oh, sweet baby, tell me would it be right?
I take the subway and you take the train
I got a husband and you got a wife
I wish we could love and then
not always have to pretend
I wish we could be alone, all alone
I wish we could be alone, all alone
I know it's not simple,
but I know that it's strong
And I know it will never be easy,
but I know it ain't wrong
I wish it could always be
the way it is when you're kissin' me
I wish we could be alone, all alone
I wish we could be alone, all alone
And so we'll go on and on,
hidin' out the way that we do
Keepin' it from all of our friends,
there ain't a-nothin' between us two
I wish we could hang about,
and not worry who's givin' in or out
I wish we could be alone, all alone
I wish we could be alone, all alone
I wish we could be alone, all alone
Down
Like A Rock
Was there light on the water
when I fell in and drowned?
Did anyone see
my body go down?
Did he call out
"Someone help, she can't swim!"?
Or did he just laugh
when I slipped and fell in?
I went down
without a trace
And all I could see was a smile on his face
I fell in,
was I pushed in the fog?
When I went down,
I went down like a rock
Did anyone jump in,
or climb down the rungs
To catch me and save me,
and pump out my lungs?
I saw nobody cry on board,
nobody offered a prayer
Did anyone notice,
doesn't anyone care?
I went down
without a trace
And all I could see was a smile on his face
I fell in,
was I pushed in the fog?
When I went down,
I went down like a rock
Was there light on the water
when I fell in and drowned?
Did anyone see my body go down?
Did he call out
"Someone help, she can't swim!"?
Or did he just laugh
when I slipped and fell in?
I went down
without a trace
And all I could see was a smile on his face
I fell in,
was I pushed in the fog?
When I went down,
I went down like a rock
I went down
without a trace
And all I could see was a smile on his face
I fell in,
was I pushed in the fog?
When I went down,
I went down like a rock
Maybe
I love you
Maybe I love you,
maybe I don't
Maybe I'll need you,
and maybe, baby, I won't
I guess I don't take the time
to let you know
what's on my mind
Maybe I've been blind
Maybe I'm crazy,
maybe I'm sane
Maybe I need to go away,
start over again
But if I went away,
I'd be afraid
I should have stayed
Maybe I'm afraid
that maybe I love you
And believe me when I tell you
It's because of all the things you say and do
That help me make it through
I need you
But when I try to say goodbye,
I realise I won't know what to do
If I don't have you
Maybe I love you,
baby I do
I guess I loved you
the first time I saw you
And when I don't take the time
to let you know
what's on my mind
I know that I'm too damn blind,
but baby I love you
Maybe I love you,
maybe I don't
Maybe I'll need you,
and maybe, baby, I won't
I guess I don't take the time
to let you know
what's on my mind
Maybe I've been blind,
but maybe I love you
I love you
