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

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Shadow!!! You are just saying that because of being too humble to let me think that you really are too good to be true--right?
