ATF: Downers

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to make.  I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Winchester Cathedral
The New Vaudeville Band
Winchester Cathedral
You're bringing me down
You stood and you watched as
My baby left town
You could have done something
But you didn't try
You didn't do nothing
You let her walk by

Now everyone knows
Just how much
I needed that gal
She wouldn't have gone
Far away
If only you'd started
Ringing your bell

Winchester Cathedral
You're bringing me down
You stood and you watched as
My baby left town

Oh-bo-de-o-doh
Oh-bo-de-o-doh
Oh-bo-de-o-doh
De-o-doh

Don’t Bring Me Down
Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)
You got me runnin’
Goin’ out of my mind
You got me thinkin’
That I’m wastin’ my time
Don't bring me down
No no no no no
I'll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

You wanna stay out
With your fancy friends
Im tellin’ you
It's goin’ to be the end
Don't bring me down
No no no no no no no no
I'll tell you once
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

Don't bring me down
Grroosss
Don't bring me down
Grroosss
Don't bring me down
Grroosss
Don't bring me down

What happend to the girl
I used to known
You let your mind out
Somewhere down the road
Don't bring me down
No no no no no
I’ll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

You’re always talkin’
About your crazy nights
One of these days
You're gonna get it right
Don't bring me down
No no no no no
I’ll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

Don't bring me down
Grroosss
Don't bring me down
Grroosss
Don't bring me down
Grroosss
Don't bring me down

You’re lookin’ good
Just like a snake in the grass
One of these days
You're gonna break your glass
Don't bring me down
No no no no no no no no
I'll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

You got me shakin’
Got me runnin’ away
You get me crawlin’
Up to you every day
Don't bring me down
No no no no no
I'll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
Down
Down
Down
Down
Down
Down

I'll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

    Thanks for stopping by, my dear TWG!!! I dunno. Methinks that would be a rather hard song to two-step to, and a waltz step wouldn't work at all. Nonetheless, I can shake my head up and down with the best of them when that song comes on!

    Thanks for stopping by, my dear Julie!!! I can't remember if we actually had a 45 (78?) of the song, but we must have. For I can remember hearing it A LOT way back when.
