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
