ATF: Happy Endings

This 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.



End of the Line
The Traveling Wilburys
Well it's
All right
Ridin’ around in the breeze
Well it's
All right
If you live the life you please
Well it's
All right
Doin’ the best you can
Well it's
All right
As long as you lend a hand

You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring
At the end of the line
Waiting for someone to tell you everything
At the end of the line
End of the line
Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring
At the end of the line
Maybe a diamond ring

Well it's
All right
Even if they say you're wrong
Well it's
All right
Sometimes you gotta be strong
Well it's
All right
As long as you got somewhere to lay
Well it's
All right
Every day is Judgment Day

Maybe somewhere down the road aways
At the end of the line
You'll think of me and wonder where I am these days
At the end of the line
End of the line
Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays
At the end of the line
Purple Haze

Well it's
All right
Even when push comes to shove
Well it's
All right
If you got someone to love
Well it's
All right
Everything will work out fine
Well it's
All right
We're goin’ to the end of the line

Don't have to be ashamed of the car I drive
At the end of the line
I'm just glad to be here
Happy to be alive
At the end of the line
End of the line
It don't matter if you're by my side
At the end of the line
I'm satisfied

Well it's
All right
Even if you're old and gray
Well it's
All right
You still got something to say
Well it's
All right
Remember to live and let live
Well it's
All right
The best you can do is forgive
Well it's
All Right
All right
Ridin’ around in the breeze
Well it's
All right
All right
If you live the life you please
Well it's
All right
Even if the sun don't shine
Well, it's
All right
All right
We're goin’ to the end of the line



Touch of Grey
The Grateful Dead
Must be getting early
Clocks are running late
Paint-by-number morning sky
Looks so phony
Dawn is breaking everywhere
Light a candle
Curse the glare
Draw the curtains I don't care
‘Cause
It's all right

I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive

I see you've got your list out
Say your piece
And get out
Yes I get the gist of it
But
It's all right
Sorry that you feel that way
The only thing there is to say
Every silver lining's got a
Touch of grey

I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive

It's a lesson
To me
The Deltas
And the East
And the Freeze
The ABC's
We all think of
Try to give
A little love

I know the rent is in-arrears
The dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears
But
It's all right
The cow is giving kerosene
Kid can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene
But
It's all right

I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive

The shoe is on the hand it fits
There's really nothing much to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit
'Cause
It's all right
Oh well
A touch of grey
Kind of suits you anyway
That was all I had to say
And
It's all right

I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive
We will get by
We will get by
We will get by
We will survive
We will get by
We will get by…

  1. Both are great songs. I think I've mentioned before that I'm a big Ray Orbison fan.

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Stephen!!! Yeah, you being a big fan of Roy played a big part in this being put up at this time. I am really impressed with the rest of the Wilburys turning the video into an homage to him. By the way, you are a closeted deadhead--aren't you? (LOL?)

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Lady Lilith!!! Did the Grateful Dead's one give you some ideas for a new photo spread?

  7. The Wilburys were an amazing band - what happens when a bunch of good-natured middle-aged musicians get together. Wonderful. Even if they couldn't spell travelling.

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Mike!!! Methinks spell-checking may have been left to Roy.
