ABOUT the LP, All By Myself:
All by Myself is a 1982 album by Shirley Bassey. Having ended her contract with United Artists around 1980 (around the time that label was sold to Bassey's former home EMI), Bassey took a break from recording, and then began releasing albums on various labels. All by Myself was the first of these, issued on the Applause label. 1982 was the dawn of the CD era, and this was her first-ever album to be issued on CD. The album was also issued on LP and cassette. In the UK and some other countries, the album was titled Love Songs, with identical cover art, and under that name it charted for five weeks on the UK albums chart, on the K-tel label, peaking at #48. The original CD has since become scarce, though the songs have appeared on many compilations.

LYRICS - This Masquerade:
Are we really happy with this lonely game we play
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding, understanding anyway
We're lost in a masquerade
Both afraid to say we're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over, but
the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear
every time I see your eyes

No matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons why we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade
Both afraid to say we're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over, but
the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear
every time I see your eyes

No matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons why we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade
We're lost in a masquerade
We're lost in a masquerade
We're lost in a masquerade
Masquerade
Masquerade
Masquerade
Masquerade
