ATF: Bad Hands

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.

Desperado

The Eagles

Desperado

Why don't you come to your senses

You’ve been out ridin' fences

For so long now

Oh you're a hard one

But I know that you got your reasons

These things that are pleasin' you

Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy

She'll beat you if she's able

You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me some fine things

Have been laid upon your table

But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado

Oh you ain't gettin' no younger

Your pain and your hunger

They're drivin' you home

And freedom

Oh freedom

Well that's just some people talkin'

Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time

The sky won't snow

And the sun won't shine

It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day

You're losin' all your highs and lows

Ain't it funny how the feelin’ goes

Away

Desperado

Why don't you come to your senses

Come down from your fences

Open the gate

It may be rainin'

But there's a rainbow above you

You better let somebody love you

Let somebody love you

You better let somebody love you

Before it's too

Late

Lonesome Loser

The Little River Band

Have you heard about the lonesome loser

Beaten by the queen of hearts every time

Have you heard about the lonesome loser

He's a loser

But he still keeps on tryin'

Oooh oooh oooh oooh

Oooh

Oooh oooh oooh

Oooh oooh oooh

Oooh

Oooh oooh oooh

Sit down

Take a look at yourself

Don't you want to be somebody

Someday somebody's gonna see inside

You have to face up

You can't run and hide

Have you heard about the lonesome loser

Beaten by the queen of hearts every time

Have you heard about the lonesome loser

He's a loser

But he still keeps on tryin'

Unlucky in love

Least that's what they say

He lost his head

And he gambled his heart away

He still keeps searchin’

Though there's nothin’ left

Staked his heart and lost

Now he has to pay the cost

Have you heard about the lonesome loser

Beaten by the queen of hearts every time

Have you heard about the lonesome loser

He's a loser

But he still keeps on tryin'

It's okay

He smiles and says

Though this loneliness

Is drivin’ him crazy

He don't show

What goes on in his head,

But if you watch very close

You'll see it all

Sit down

Take a look at yourself

Don't you want to be somebody

Someday somebody's gonna see inside

You have to face up

You can't run and hide

Have

You

Heard about the lonesome loser

Beaten by the queen of hearts every time

Have you heard about the lonesome loser

He's a loser

But he still keeps on tryin'

Have you heard about the lonesome loser

Have you heard about the lonesome loser

Have you heard about the lonesome loser

Now tell me

Have you heard about the lonesome loser
