ATF: Shattered Remains

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.

Piece of My Heart

Janis Joplin

Oh

Come on

Come on

Come on

Come on

Didn't I make you feel

Like you were the only man

Yeah

And didn't I give you nearly everything

That a woman possibly can

Honey

You know I did

And

And each time I tell myself that I

Well

I think I've had enough

But I'm gonna show you baby

That a woman can be tough

I want you to

Come on

Come on

Come on

Come on

And take it

Take another little piece of my heart now baby

Oh

Oh

Break another little bit of my heart now darling

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Have a

Have another little piece of my heart now baby

Well you know you got it

If it makes you feel good

Oh yes indeed

You're out on the streets lookin’ good

And baby deep down in your heart

I guess you know that it ain't right

Never

Never

Never

Never

Never

Never hear me when I cry at night

Babe

And I cry all the time

But each time I tell myself that I

Well

I can't stand the pain

But when you hold me in your arms

I'll sing it once again

I'll say

Come on

Come on

Come on

Come on

And take it

Take another little piece of my heart now baby

Oh

Broken Lady

Larry Gatlin and The Gatlin Brothers

She’s a broken lady

Waiting to be mended

Like a potter would mend

A broken vase

A broken lady

Waiting to be mended

And have what’s left

Of the pieces

Put back in place

Her love was like a fortress

Around a man she would have died for

Taking care

To take care

Of all he needed

But the lady’s fortress

Slowly turned into a prison

And the warning signs he gave

She never heeded

She vowed every mornin’

That what God joined together

No one else in the world

Could pull apart

And then the walls came tumblin’ to the ground

And her world came crashin’ down

Around her heart

Now she’s a broken lady

Waiting to be mended

Like a potter would mend

A broken vase

A broken lady

Waiting to be mended

And have what’s left

Of the pieces

Put back in place

She’s a broken lady

Waiting to be mended

And have what’s left

Of the pieces

Put back in place
