ATF: Showtime!

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.

Karn Evil #9 (Part 2)

Emerson, Lake and Palmer

Welcome back my friends

To the show that never ends

We're so glad you could attend

Come inside

Come inside

There behind a glass

Stands a real blade of grass

Be careful as you pass

Move along

Move along

Come inside

The show's about to start

Guaranteed

To blow your head apart

Rest assured

You'll get your money's worth

The greatest show

In Heaven

Hell

Or Earth

You've got to see the show

It's a dynamo

You've got to see the show

It's rock and roll

Oh

Right before your eyes

We'll pull laughter from the skies

And he laughs until he cries

Then he dies

Then he dies

Come inside

The show's about to start

Guaranteed

To blow your head apart

You've got to see the show

It's a dynamo

You've got to see the show

It's rock and roll

Soon the Gypsy Queen

In a glaze of Vaseline

Will perform on guillotine

What a scene

What a scene

Next upon the stand

Will you please extend a hand

To Alexander's Ragtime Band

Dixieland

Dixieland

Roll up

Roll up

Roll up

See the show

Performing on a stool

We've a sight to make you drool

Seven virgins and a mule

Keep it cool

Keep it cool

We would like it to be known

The exhibits that were shown

Were exclusively our own

All our own

All our own

Come and see the show

Come and see the show

Come and see the show

See the show

Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show

Hot

August night

And the leaves hangin’ down

And the grass on the ground

Smellin’ sweet

Move

Up the road

To the outside of town

And the sound of that good

Gospel beat

Sits a ragged tent

Where there ain't no trees

And that Gospel group

Tellin’ you and me

It's Love

Brother Love said

Brother Love's Travelin’ Salvation Show

Halle

Halle

Pack up the babies

And grab the old ladies

And everyone goes

‘Cause everyone knows

Brother Love's show

Room

Gets suddenly still

And when you'd almost bet

You could hear yourself sweat

He walks in

Eyes

Black as coal

And when he lifts his face

Every ear in the place

Is on him

Startin’ soft and slow

Like a small earthquake

And when he lets go

Half the valley shakes

It's Love

Brother Love said

Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show

Halle

Halle

Pack up the babies

And grab the old ladies

And everyone goes

‘Cause everyone knows

About Brother Love's show

Hallelujah…

Brothers.  I said brothers.  Now you got yourself two good hands.  Now when your brother is in trouble, you gotta reach out your one hand for him.  ‘Cause that’s what it’s there for.  Now when your heart is troubled, you gotta reach out your other hand.  Reach it out to the Man  there.  ‘Cause that’s what He’s there for.

Take my hand in yours

Walk with me this day

In my heart, I know

I will never stray
