ATF: Conjoined

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) 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 your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Silent Running

Mike & The Mechanics

Happy birthday to you

Make a wish Tommy

You don’t know me

But I knew your father

And he wanted me to give you this

Can you hear me

Can you hear me running

Can you hear me running

Can you hear me calling you

Take the children and yourself

And hide out in the cellar

By now the fighting will be close at hand

Don’t believe in the church and state

And everything they tell you

Believe in me

I’m with the High Command

Can you hear me

Can you hear me running

Can you hear me running

Can you hear me calling you

Can you hear me

Can you hear me running

Can you hear me running

Can you hear me calling you

There’s a gun and ammunition

Just inside the doorway

Use it only in emergency

Better you should pray to God

The Father and the Spirit

Will guide you

And protect you from up Here

Can you hear me

Can you hear me running

Can you hear me running

Can you hear me calling you

Can you hear me

Can you hear me running

Can you hear me running

Can you hear me calling you

Hello Tommy

I am sorry I left

I hope this message will explain why

I need your help

Swear allegiance to the flag

Whatever flag they offer

Never hint at what you really feel

Teach the children quietly

For someday sons and daughters

Will rise up and fight

While we stood still

Can you hear me

Can you hear me running

Can you hear me running

Can you hear me calling you

Can you hear me

Can you hear me running

Can you hear me running

Can you hear me calling you

Can you hear me

Can you hear me running

All I Need is a Miracle

Mike and The Mechanics

Well the set is nearly over

Shall we settle up now

It was £250 wasn’t it

I haven’t even taken that at the bar Roy

Look at the crowd

The place is practically empty

Well you can’t blame us for that

We were called in at the last minute

We were very big in Guildford

Correct if I am wrong

This isn’t Guildford

Not only am I not going to pay the band

The way I see it

You own me 500 pounds

Which is about what the band’s gear is worth

You’re not going to keep the band’s equipment

I might even keep the guitarist’s right arm

Where am I going to find that kind of money at this time of night

That’s your problem

I said

Go if you wanna go

Stay if you wanna stay

I didn’t care if you hung around me

I didn’t care if you went away

And I know you were never wrong

I’ll admit I was never home

I could never make up my mind

I made it up as I went along

And though I treated you like a child

I’m gonna miss you for the rest of my life

All I need is a miracle

All I need is you

All I need is a miracle

All I need is you

All I need is a miracle

All I need is you

I never had any time

And I never had any call

But I went out of my way just to hurt you

The one I shouldn’t hurt at all

I thought I was being cool

Yeah I thought I was being strong

But it’s always the same old story

You never know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone

If I ever catch up with you

I’m gonna love you for the rest of your life

All I need is a miracle

All I need is you

All I need is a miracle

All I need is a miracle

All I need is you

All I need is a miracle

All I need is a miracle

All I need is you

And if I ever catch up with you

I’m gonna love you for the rest of your life

All I need is a miracle

All I need is you

All I need is a miracle

All I need is a miracle

All I need is you

All I need is a miracle

All I need is a miracle

All I need is you

All I need is a miracle

All I need is a miracle

All I need is you

All I need is a miracle

All I need is a

All I need is a

All I need is you

All I need is a miracle

All I need is a miracle

All I need is you

All I need is a miracle

All I need is a miracle

All I need is you

Here Mike

You can pay the lads

That’s an easy way to make a living
