In an abandoned mansión at the heart of Barcelona. David Martin makes his living by writing sensationalist novels. But perhaps his dark imaginigs are not as strange as they seem, for in a locked room deep within the house lie photographs and letters hinting at an unsolved mystery.

Roy Orbison - Oh, Pretty Woman (Videos and Lyrics)

Pretty woman, walking down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman
I don't believe you, you're not the truth
No one could look as good as you

Pretty woman, won't you pardon me
Pretty woman, I couldn't help but see
Pretty woman
That you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me

Pretty woman, stop awhile
Pretty woman, talk awhile
Pretty woman, give your smile to me
Pretty woman, yea yea yea
Pretty woman, look my way
Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me (held)
'cause I need you, I'll treat you right
Come with me baby, be mine tonight (held)

Pretty woman, don't walk on by
Pretty woman, don't make me cry
Pretty woman
Don't walk away, hey Ok
If that's the way it must be, ok
I guess I'll go on home, it's late
There'll be tomorrow night, but wait
What do I see

Is she walking back to me
Yea, she's walking back to me
Oh, oh, pretty woman

Roger Hodgson - Take The Long Way Home (Video and lyrics)

 So you think you're a Romeo
playing a part in a picture-show
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

 

Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood
Why should you care
 if you're feeling good
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

 

But there are times that you feel
you're part of the scenery
all the greenery is comin' down, boy
And then your wife seems to think you're part of
the furniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice.

 

When lonely days turn to lonely nights
you take a trip to the city lights
And take the long way home
Take the long way home

 

You never see what you want to see
Forever playing to the gallery
You take the long way home
Take the long way home

 

And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable,
unforgettable, how they adore you,
But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity,
oh, calamity, is there no way out?

 

Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe?
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy.
When you look through the years and see what you could
have been oh, what might have been,
if you'd had more time.

 

So, when the day comes to settle down,
Who's to blame if you're not around?
You took the long way home
You took the long way home...........

"The Logical Song" (Supertramp) Video and lyrics

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.

There are times when all the world's asleep,
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!

At night, when all the world's asleep,
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am

Bee Gees - How Deep Is Your Love (1977)( Video and lyrics)

I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love then you softly leave
And it’s me you need to show
How deep is your love?

Chorus:
How deep is your love, how deep is your love
I really mean to learn
‘Cause we’re living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You’re the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You’re my savior when I fall

And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it’s me you need to show
How deep is your love?

Chorus

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love then you softly leave
And it’s me you need to show
How deep is your love?
