We walked the loneliest mile We smile without any style We kiss all together wrong No intention We lie about each other's drinks We live without each other Thinking what anyone would do Without me and you It's like I told you Only the lonely can play So hold on here we go Hold on to nothin' we know I feel so lonely Way up here You mention the time we were together So long ago well I don't remember All I know is it makes me feel good now It's like I told you only the lonely can play Only the lonely only the lonely can play Only the lonely only the lonely can play It's like I told you only the lonely can play Only the lonely Only the lonely can play
I heard the radio interview back in the 90s when this recording was made . it was in portland oregon. things got to much for her do to fame and she took a few years off. the motels were doing a come back concert. this is a live recording from that interview. it is good.

Classic song stripped back..it sure holds up either way..passionate and forthright vocal from Martha.
Nice picture homage, a personal favorite version of an iconic song
This is pretty damn good. Makes me wish Divinyls were still around and doing some of their gems acoustically as well.
THANK YOU!
We walked the loneliest mile
We smile without any style
We kiss all together wrong
No intention
We lie about each other's drinks
We live without each other
Thinking what anyone would do
Without me and you
It's like I told you
Only the lonely can play
So hold on here we go
Hold on to nothin' we know
I feel so lonely
Way up here
You mention the time we were together
So long ago well I don't remember
All I know is it makes me feel good now
It's like I told you only the lonely can play
Only the lonely only the lonely can play
Only the lonely only the lonely can play
It's like I told you only the lonely can play
Only the lonely
Only the lonely can play
I am with you.

What cd is this from?

It was on a compilation album called 80’s hits stripped and the entire album is great
"No Vacancy" was the name of the album.
