ABOUT the LP, All By Myself: <br />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. <br /> <br />LYRICS - We Don't Cry Out Loud: <br />Baby cried the day the circus came to town <br />'cause she didn't want parades just passing by her <br />So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown <br />While she danced without a net upon the wire <br />I know a lot about her 'cause, you see <br />Baby is an awful lot like me <br /> <br />Don't cry out loud <br />Just keep it inside <br />And learn how to hide your feelings <br />Fly high and proud <br />And if you should fall <br />Remember you almost had it all <br /> <br />Baby saw that when they pulled the big top down <br />They left behind her dreams among the litter <br />The different kind of love she thought she'd found <br />There was nothing left but sawdust and some glitter <br />But baby can't be broken 'cause you see <br />She had the finest teacher - that was me <br /> <br />Don't cry out loud <br />Just keep it inside <br />And learn how to hide your feelings <br />Fly high and proud <br />And if you should fall <br />Remember you almost had it all <br /> <br />Don't cry out loud <br />Just keep it inside <br />And learn how to hide your feeling <br />Fly high and proud <br />And if you should fall <br />Remember you almost made it <br /> <br />Don't cry out loud <br />Just keep it inside <br />And learn how to hide your feelings <br />Fly high and proud <br />And if you should fall <br />Remember you almost had it all <br /> <br />LYRICS - This Masquerade: <br />Are we really happy with this lonely game we play <br />Looking for words to say <br />Searching but not finding, understanding anyway <br />We're lost in a masquerade <br />Both afraid to say we're just too far away <br />From being close together from the start <br />We tried to talk it over, but <br />the words got in the way <br />We're lost inside this lonely game we play <br /> <br />Thoughts of leaving disappear <br />every time I see your eyes <br /> <br />No matter how hard I try <br />To understand the reasons why we carry o
