ATF: Disorienting

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.



Spinning Wheel
Blood, Sweat & Tears
What goes up
Must come down
Spinnin' wheel
Got to go round
Talkin' 'bout your troubles
It's a cryin' sin
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinnin' wheel spin

You got no money
You got no home
Spinnin' wheel
All alone
Talkin' 'bout your troubles and you
You never learn
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinnin' wheel turn

Did you find
The directing sign
On the
Straight and narrow highway
Would you mind
A reflecting sign
Just let it shine
Within your mind
And show you
The colors
That are real

Someone is waitin'
Just for you
Spinnin' wheel
Spinnin' true
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Catch a painted pony
On the spinnin' wheel ride

Someone's waitin'
Just for you
Spinnin' wheel
Spinnin' true
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinnin' wheel fly

That wasn't so good



World Turning
Fleetwood Mac
Everybody's
Tryin’ to say I'm wrong
I just wanna be
 Back where I belong

World turnin’
I gotta get my feet back on the ground
World turnin’
Everybody's got me down

Maybe I'm wrong
But who's to say what's right
I need somebody
To help me through the night

World turnin’
I gotta get my feet back on the ground
World turnin’
Everybody's got me down

Maybe I'm wrong
But who's to say what's right
I need somebody
To help me through the night

World turnin’
I gotta get my feet back on the ground
World turnin’
Everybody's got me down

World turnin’
Everybody's got me down
World turnin’
Everybody's got me down

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Ann!!! I know I had to have had one, but I cannot remember for sure. Alas, watching rip-snorting puppies has that effect upon me.

  4. Blood sweat & tears could have been good but went too commercial.
