From the 1973 concert at the Royal Albert Hall. Part 1. Lyrics Where am I going: Where am I going? And what will I find? What's in this grab bag That I call my mind? What am I doing Alone on the shelf? Ain't it a shame But no one's to blame but myself Which way is clear When you've lost your way Year after year? Do I keep falling in love for just a kick of it? Staggering through the thin and thick of it Hating each old and tired trick of it Know what I am I'm good and sick of it Where am I going? Why do I care? Run to the Bronx Or Washington Square No matter where I run I meet myself there Looking inside me, what do I see? Anger and hope and doubt What am I all about? Where am I going? No matter where I run I meet myself there Looking inside me, what do I see? Anger and hope and doubt What am I all I about? Where am I going? Where am I going? Where am I going? You tell me You tell me. Shirley Music written by Alvin Leroy Homes, and words by Al Stillman. Released 1966 on the album I've Got A Song For You and on a single. The song is available digitally remastered on the CD collection Bassey - The EMI/UA Years. This song was specially written for Shirley Bassey, and a firm favourite in her live stage performances over many years. The same composers Stillman and Homes also wrote the album title song "I've Got A Song For You" for Shirley. Lyrics Shirley: Shirley doesn't feel too happy Shirley doesn't feel to gay Something has been worrying Shirley For many a lonely day Shirley wakes up to early Future looking so dim 'Cause someone doesn't love Shirley The way that she loves him Shirley wakes up to early Future looking so dim 'Cause someone doesn't love Shirley The way that she loves him (Transcribed by Roman) About the dress Dame Shirley Bassey is wearing for the Royal Albert Hall concert: A dramatic stage gown by Douglas Darnell, the fitted bodice and peppermint green silk chiffon ground encrusted with pale green iridescent sequins, the halterneck and scooped back edged with strands of imitation pearls graduating in size from the imitation emerald jewelled clasp at the base of the neck, the back elaborately embellished with fifteen additional strands of imitation pearls graduating in size from neck to lower back and cascading from the clasp in a decorative cage effect, the skirt with flowing train lined in silver silk tissue; and a corresponding pair of stiletto heeled sandals customised by Darnell, stamped on the insole Hand Made By Peppino Vasso and with the retailer's name F.
