ATF: Timely Tunes

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.

I’m in a Hurry
Alabama
I’m in a hurry
To get things done
Oh I
Rush and rush
Until life’s no fun
All I really gotta do is
Live and die
But I’m in a hurry
And don’t know why

Don’t know why
I have to drive so fast
My car has nothing to prove
It’s not new
But it’ll do zero to sixty
In five point two

Oh
I’m in a hurry
To get things done
Oh I
Rush and rush
Until life’s no fun
All I really gotta do is
Live and die
But I’m in a hurry
And don’t know why

Can’t be late
I leave in plenty of time
Shakin’ hands with the clock
I can’t stop
I’m on a roll
And I’m ready to rock

Oh
I’m in a hurry
To get things done
Oh I
Rush and rush
Until life’s no fun
All I really gotta do is
Live and die
But I’m in a hurry
And don’t know why

Oh I hear a voice
That says I’m runnin’ behind
I better pick up my pace
It’s a race
And there ain’t
No room for someone in second place

I’m in a hurry
To get things done
I rush and rush
Until life’s no fun
All I really gotta do is
Live and die
But I’m in a hurry
And don’t know why
I’m in a hurry
To get things done
Oh I
Rush and rush
Until life’s no fun
All I really gotta do is
Live and die
But I’m in a hurry
And don’t know why
I’m in a hurry
To get things done
Oh I
Rush and rush
Until life’s no fun
All I really gotta do is
Live and die
But I’m in a hurry
And don’t know why
I’m in a hurry
To get things done
Oh I
Rush and rush
Until life’s no fun
All I really gotta do is
Live and die
But I’m in a hurry
And don’t know why

Got to get your lovin'
One more time
Hold me

Slow-ridin' woman
You're so fine

I'm in the mood
The rhythm is right
Move to the music

We can roll all night
Yeah

Ooh
Slow ride
Take it easy
Slow ride
Take it easy
Slow down
Go down
Got to get your lovin'
One more time
Hold me

Slow-ridin' woman
You're so fine

A Sunday Drive

Back during our childhood, our parents would often load up my brother and me after Sunday morning church services for a leisurely drive around where we lived.  Even though we were seeing mostly familiar sights, it was still good to see them again, and this is why “A Sunday Drive” sounded about right for the name of a series revisiting familiar sites that are well worth seeing again and again.  The link below the image is to the site itself, and the image is linked to the post it was first included in here.

Sites To See #446

The SOLE purpose of this series is to help call attention to sites that I think many would find most interesting—in one way or another.  Just to be clear, inclusion in this series is not necessarily meant as an endorsement, and I have included sites that I found rather disturbing.  The link below each image is to the site itself, and each image is linked to the particular post from which it was taken when applicable.  Please, go see for yourself.  Oh, and as of August 10, 2012, I will be no longer including sites that have auto-play and word verification engaged.

Total Eclipse of the Heart
Bonnie Tyler
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely
And you're never coming round
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit tired
Of listening to the sound of my tears
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous
That the best of all the years have gone by
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
And then I see the look in your eyes

Turn around
Bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
Turn around
Bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart

Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit restless
And I dream of something wild
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit helpless
And I'm lying like a child in your arms
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit angry
And I know I've got to get out and cry
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
But then I see the look in your eyes

Turn around
Bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
Turn around
Bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong

Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
All of the time
I don't know what to do
And I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg
And giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna to start tonight
Forever's gonna to start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
Now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

Turn around
Bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
Turn around
Bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
All of the time
I don't know what to do
I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg
And giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
Now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart

Turn around
Bright eyes
Turn around
Bright eyes
Turn around



Two Steps Behind
Def Leppard
Walk away
If you want to
It's okay
If you need to
Well you can run
But you can never hide
From the shadow
That's creepin' up beside you
There's a magic runnin' through your soul
But you can't have it all

Whatever you do
I'll be two steps behind you
Wherever you go
And And I'll be there to remind you
That it only takes a minute
Of your precious time
To turn around
I'll be two steps behind
Yeah
Yeah

Take the time
To think about it
Just walk the line
You know you just can't fight it
Take a look around
You see what you can find
Like the fire
That's burnin' up inside me
There's a magic runnin' through your soul
But you can't have it all
No

Whatever you do
I'll be two steps behind you
Wherever you go
And I'll be there to remind you
That it only takes a minute
Of your precious time
To turn around
I'll be two steps behind

Yeah yeah yeah

Oh oh

Oh oh oh

There's a magic runnin' through your soul
But you
You can't have it all

Whatever you do
I'll be two steps behind you
Wherever you go
And I'll be there to remind you
That it only takes a minute
Of your precious time
To turn around
I'll be two steps behind
Yeah baby
Two steps behind
Oh sugar
Two steps behind

Sympathy for Ann



Even though that was an old commercial for a competitor, it is indicative of our beloved [Ann’s] life.  For she is the bakery manager of a large supermarket.

Making matters even worse is that she has a puppy, who doesn’t care about much of anything but her bringing home treats for him.  Alas, it is indeed a very sad life to live.

Blurry
Puddle of Mudd
Everything's so blurry
And everyone's so fake
And everybody's empty
And everything is so messed up
Preoccupied without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl

You could be my someone
You could be my scene
You know that I'll protect you
From all of the obscene
I wonder what you’re doin’
Imagine where you are
There's oceans in between us
But that's not very far

Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well you shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well you shoved it my face

Everyone is changing
There's no one left that's real
To make up your own ending
And let me know just how you feel
'Cause I am lost without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl

And you could be my someone
You could be my scene
You know that I will save you
From all of the unclean
I wonder what you’re doin’
I wonder where you are
There's oceans in between us
But that's not very far

Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well you shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well you shoved it my face
This pain you gave to me

Oh
Nobody told me what you thought
Nobody told me what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Told you when to runaway
Nobody told you where to hide
Nobody told you what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Showed you when to runaway

Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well you shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
No
This pain you gave to me

Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
This pain you gave to me



Flood
Jars of Clay
Rain
Rain on my face
It hasn't stopped raining for days
My world is a flood
Slowly I become one with the mud

But if I can't swim after forty days
And my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me up
Lift me up
When I'm falling
Lift me up
I'm weak and I'm dying
Lift me up
I need you to hold me
Lift me up
Keep me from drowning again

Downpour on my soul
Splashing in the ocean
I'm losing control
Dark sky all around
I can't feel my feet touching the ground

But if I can't swim after forty days
And my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me up
Lift me up
When I'm falling
Lift me up
I'm weak and I'm dying
Lift me up
I need you to hold me
Lift me up
Keep me from drowning again

Calm the storms that drench my eyes
Dry the streams still flowing
Casting down all the waves of sin
And guilt that overthrow me

But if I can't swim after forty days
And my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me up
Lift me up
When I'm falling
Lift me up
I'm weak and I'm dying
Lift me up
I need you to hold me
Lift me up
Keep me from drowning again
Lift me up
When I'm falling
Lift me up
I'm weak and I'm dying
Lift me up
I need you to hold me
Lift me up
Keep me from drowning again
