**** There was a man<br>A lonely man<br>Who lost his love<br>Through his indifference<br>A heart that cared<br><br>That went unshared<br>Until it died<br>Within his silence<br>And Solitaire 's the only game in town<br>And every road that takes him<br><br>Takes him down<br>And by himself it's easy to pretend<br>He'll never love again<br>And keeping to himself he plays the game<br>Without a (her??) love<br><br>It always ends the same<br>While life goes on around him everywhere<br>He's playing Solitaire<br>A little hope<br><br>Goes up in smoke<br>Just how it goes<br>Goes without saying<br>There was a man<br><br>A lonely man<br>Who would command<br>The hand he's playing<br>And Solitaire 's the only game in town<br>And every road that takes him<br><br>Takes him down<br>And by himself it's easy to pretend<br>He'll never love again<br>And keeping to himself he plays the game<br>Without a (her??) love<br><br>It always ends the same<br>While life goes on around him everywhere<br>He's playing Solitaire<br>Solitaire 's the only game in town<br>And every road that takes him<br><br>Takes him down<br>While life goes on around him everywhere<br>He's playing Solitaire
**** Sharley Bassey hat eine ganz starke, wundervolle Stimme - für Solitaire ist sie mir doch leider in gewissen Momenten zu stark und zu laut, was dem wundervollen Song seine sanfte Ausgeglichenheit nimmt.
