ATF: Deep

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.

Losing My Religion

R.E.M.

Oh

Life

Is bigger

It's bigger

Than you

And you are not me

The lengths that I will go to

The distance in your eyes

Oh no

I've said too much

I set it up

That's me in the corner

That's me in the spot

Light

Losing my religion

Trying to keep up with you

And I don't know if I can do it

Oh no

I've said too much

I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think

I thought

I saw you try

Every whisper

Of every waking hour

I'm choosing my confessions

Trying to keep an eye on you

Like a hurt

Lost

And blinded fool

Fool

Oh no

I've said too much

I set it up

Consider this

Consider this

The hint of the century

Consider this

The slip

That brought me to my knees

Failed

What if all these fantasies

Come flailing around

Now I've said

Too much

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think

I thought

I saw you try

That was just a dream

That was just a dream

That's me in the corner

That's me in the spot

Light

Losing my religion

Trying to keep up with you

And I don't know if I can do it

Oh no

I've said too much

I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think

I thought

I saw you try

But that was just a dream

Try

Cry

Why

Try

That was just a dream

Just a dream

One of Us

If God had a name

What would it be

And would you call it to His face

If you were faced with Him

In all His glory

What would you ask

If you had just one question

And yeah

Yeah

God is great

Yeah

Yeah

God is good

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us

Just a slob like one of us

Just a stranger on the bus

Trying to make His way home

If God had a face

What would it look like

And would you want to see

If seeing meant that you would have to believe

In things like Heaven

And in Jesus

And the Saints

And all the Prophets

And yeah

Yeah

God is great

Yeah

Yeah

God is good

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us

Just a slob like one of us

Just a stranger on the bus

Trying to make His way home

Tryin' to make His way home

Back up to Heaven all alone

Nobody callin' on the phone

'Cept for the Pope

Maybe in Rome

Yeah

Yeah

God is great

Yeah

Yeah

God is good

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us

Just a slob like one of us

Just a stranger on the bus

Trying to make His way home

Just tryin' to make His way home

Like a holy rolling stone

Back up to Heaven all alone

Just tryin' to make His way home

Nobody callin' on the phone

'Cept for the Pope

Maybe in Rome
