ATF: Periodically Problematic

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.

What’s Up

4 Non Blondes

25 years of my life and still

I'm trying to get up that great big hill

Of hope

For a destination

I realized quickly when I knew I should

That the world was made of this brotherhood

Of man

For whatever that means

And so I cry sometimes

When I'm lying in bed

Just to get it all out

What's in my head

And I

I am feeling

A little peculiar

And so I wake in the morning

And I step outside

And I take a deep breath

And I get real high

And I scream from the top of my lungs

What's going on

And I say

Hey yeah yeaaah

Hey yeah yeah

I said

Hey

What's going on

And I say

Hey yeah yeaaah

Hey yeah yeah

I said

Hey

What's going on

And I try

Oh my God do I try

I try all the time

In this institution

And I pray

Oh my God do I pray

I pray every single day

For a revolution

And so I cry sometimes

When I'm lying bed

Just to get it all out

What's in my head

And I

I am feeling

A little peculiar

And so I wake in the morning

And I step outside

And I take a deep breath

And I get real high

And I scream from the top of my lungs

What's going on

And I say

Hey yeah yeaaah

Hey yeah yeah

I said

Hey

What's going on

And I say

Hey yeah yeaaah

Hey yeah yeah

I said

Hey

What's going on

And I say

Hey yeah yeaaah

Hey yeah yeah

I said

Hey

What's going on

And I say

Hey yeah yeaaah

Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I said

Hey

What's going on

25 years of my life and still

I'm trying to get up that great big hill

Of hope

For a destination

Bitch

Meredith Brooks

I hate the world today

You're so good to me

I know but I can't change

Tried to tell you

But you look at me like maybe

I'm an angel underneath

Innocent and sweet

Yesterday I cried

You must have been relieved

To see the softer side

I can understand how you'd be so confused

I don't envy you

I'm a little bit of everything

All rolled into one

I'm a bitch

I'm a lover

I'm a child

I'm a mother

I'm a sinner

I'm a saint

I do not feel ashamed

I'm your hell

I'm your dream

I'm nothing in between

You know you wouldn't want it any other way

So take me as I am

This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man

Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous

And I'm going to extremes

Tomorrow I will change

And today won't mean a thing

I'm a bitch

I'm a lover

I'm a child

I'm a mother

I'm a sinner

I'm a saint

I do not feel ashamed

I'm your hell

I'm your dream

I'm nothing in between

You know you wouldn't want it any other way

Just when you think

You've got me

Figured out

The season's

Already changin'

I think it's cool

You do what you do

And don't try to

Save me

I'm a bitch

I'm a lover

I'm a child

I'm a mother

I'm a sinner

I'm a saint

I do not feel ashamed

I'm your hell

I'm your dream

I'm nothing in between

You know you wouldn't want it any other way

I'm a bitch

I'm a tease

I'm a goddess on my knees

When you hurt

When you suffer

I'm your angel undercover

I've been numb

I'm revived

Can't say I'm not alive

You know I wouldn't want it any other way
