ATF: Rip-Snorters

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.

Stay With Me
Faces
In the mornin'
Don't say you love me,
'Cause I'll only kick you out of the door
I know your name is Rita
‘Cause your perfume's smellin' sweeter
Since when I saw you down on the floor

Won't need too much persuadin'
I don't mean to sound degradin'
But with a face like that you got nothin' to laugh about
Red lips
Hair
And fingernails
I hear you're a mean old Jezebel
Let’s go upstairs
And read my Tarot cards

Stay with me
Stay with me
For tonight you'd better stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
For tonight you'd better stay with me

So in the mornin'
Please don't say you love me
'Cause you know I'll only kick you out the door
Yeah I'll pay your cab fare home
You can even use my best cologne,
Just don't be here in the mornin'
When I wake up

Come on honey

Stay with me
Stay with me
‘Cause tonight you're gonna stay with me
Sit down
Get up
Get out
Stay with me
Stay with me
‘Cause tonight you’re gonna stay with me
Hey what's your name again

Oh no

Get out

No

Oh no

Get yourself home

Slow down baby

Incredible

Hole-Hearted
Extreme
Oooh yeah

Yeah-e
Yeah-e yeahe
Yeah-e yeah yeah

Life's ambition
Occupy my time
Priorities
Confuse the mind
Happiness
One step behind
This inner peace
I've yet to find

Rivers flow
Into the sea
Yet even the sea is not so full of me
If I'm not blind
Why can't I see
That a circle can't fit in
Where a square should be
There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can't be filled with the things I do
Hole-hearted
Hole-hearted

This heart of stone
Is where I hide
These feet of clay
Kept warm inside
Day by day
Less satisfied
Not fade away
Before I die

Rivers flow
Into the sea
Yet even the sea is not so full of me
If I'm not blind
Why can't I see
Oh that a circle can't fit in
Where a square should be
There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can't be filled with the things I do
There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
Should've known from the start
I'd fall short with the things I do
Hole-hearted
Hole-hearted
Hole-hearted
Hole-hearted
Hole-hearted
Hole-hearted
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

  1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Adullamite!!! Could you not get Hole-Hearted?

  2. Really going on that thought of having a hole in one's heart....I so hate that feeling of a hole in my heart. Sometimes you just have to let some folks go in your life...and eventually your heart will become whole again.

  3. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Karen!!! The song is actually about the only One who can fill such a hole, but be assured that I am all too painfully acquainted with having your heart torn asunder by someone you thought would never let you down. Alas, I still suffer from such. For there is still far too much of "me" left intact for my comfort.

  4. And there is the very young Rod Stewart! How could one not like Rod?

  5. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Lee!!! Dare I ask if you thought he was sexy, and maybe still do?

  6. I probably don't think he's sexy as such...to me Rod has always been the cheeky, impish, mischievous rascal always ready for a bit of fun...and there's nothing wrong with that. He's always had the twinkle in his eyes.

  7. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Lee!!! Yes, "impish" serves as a very good description of him. Just for the sake of clarity, my previous question about whether or not you thought he was sexy, was in reference to his huge hit, Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?, from the late 70s.

  8. P.S.: Don't worry, Rod Stewart's Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? will not be included in this series. (LOL?)
