The closing song No One about loneliness on this first-rate CD ends the effort on a strong note. This is one of the most sensitive and heart-felt ballads Ian has ever written. It is an emotional rush to feel as though your life is dedicated to one special love and Hunter pulls that feat off with this song.
Oddly, the song comes from writing a wrong note because as Ian was writing this song he hit a wrong note. He continued to write and Dead Man Walkin' came as a result. Thereafter, producer Andy York heard No One on a cassette tape and he suggested recording this tune as well. Thanks Andy!

No One
(Ian Hunter)
I used to come home each night to no one - no one
All by myself, turn out the light - no one - no one
One knife, a fork 'n' a spoon
An empty bed in a cold room
Oooh I needed someone - maybe you could help
I called you up, I said "There's no one, baby there's no one else"
No one ever looked twice at me - no one - no one
Take a look at my life - what do you see - no one - no one
Kinda nervous 'n' jealous too - I lose me if I lose you
Just when I was feeling sorry for myself
She called me back, she said, "There's no one, baby there's no one else"
With no one to call you - with no one rootin' for you
With no one to adore you - you'd be lost and alone
With no one to kiss you - with no one to miss you
And always be with you - you would turn into stone
I've been waiting for the longest time
To hold your hand on Sunday
Oooh I needed someone - I saw you and I fell
I called you up, I said, "There's no one - and I'll never want anyone else"
Baby there's no one else
Baby there's no one else
Baby there's no one else
Baby there's no one else
