ATF: Out-There

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.



Twilight Zone
Golden Earring
Somewhere in a lonely hotel room
There's a guy starting to realize
That he's eternal fate
Has turned it's back on him
It's two A.M.

It's two A.M.
It’s two A.M.
The fear has gone
The fear has gone
I'm sitting here waitin'
I’m sitting here waitin’
The gun’s still warm
The gun’s still warm
Maybe my connection
Is tired of takin' chances
Yeah there's a storm on the loose
Sirens in my head
Wrapped up in silence
All circuits are dead
Cannot decode
My whole life spins
Into a frenzy

Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
Place is a madhouse
Feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved
Under moon and star
Where am I to go
Now that I've gone too far
Oh whoa oh
Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
Place is a madhouse
Feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved
Under moon and star
Where am I to go
Now that I've gone too far
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone

I'm falling down the spiral
Destination unknown
Double-crossed messenger
All alone
Can't get no connection
Can't get through
Where are you
Well the night weighs heavy
On his guilty mind
This far from the borderline
When the hitman comes
He knows damn well
He has been cheated
And he says

Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
Place is a madhouse
Feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved
Under moon and star
Where am I to go
Now that I've gone too far
Oh whoa oh
Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
Place is a madhouse
Feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved
Under moon and star
Where am I to go
Now that I've gone too far
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
Bone bone
When the bullet hits the bone

Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
Place is a madhouse
Feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved
Under moon and star
Where am I to go
Now that I've gone too far
Oh whoa oh
Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
Place is a madhouse
Feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved
Under moon and star
Where am I to go
Now that I've gone too far
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
When the bullet hits the bone
Aha ah
When the bullet hits the bone
When the bullet hits the bone
Aha ah
When the bullet hits the bone
When the bullet hits the bone
Aha ah
When the bullet hits the bone
When the bullet hits the bone
Aha ah
When the bullet hits the bone



Lunatic Fringe
Red Rider
Lunatic fringe
I know you're out there
You're in hiding
And you hold your meetings
I can hear you coming
We know what you're after
We're wise to you this time
We won't let you kill the laughter

Lunatic fringe
In the twilight's last gleaming
This is open season
But you won't get too far
'Cause you gotta blame someone
For your own confusion
But I'm on guard this time
Against your final solution

We can hear you coming
We can hear you coming
No
You're not going to win this time
You're not going to win this time
We can hear the footsteps
We can hear the footsteps
Out along the walkway
Out along the walkway

Lunatic fringe
We all know you're out there
Can you feel the resistance
Can you feel the thunder

The thunder
Thunder

  1. I remember how surprised everyone was when Golden Earring hit the charts again so many years after Radar Love.

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Silver Fox!!! It's funny, I am not a big fan of Radar Love--despite it fitting in perfectly with the mindset of most truckers and road-warriors in general, but I go absolutely nuts every time I hear Twilight Zone coming on.

  3. Jerry, I don't usually have very much to comment about the music, but I just want you to know I keep checking in on you...hoping you're doing at least OK! I don't think I remember this Twilight Zone number, but "it's got a good beat."

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Penny!!! I have shut down posting new stuff and most of my commenting around to focus more attention upon getting the new site directory finally started. This one and the rest until the first of June were put together and scheduled a couple of months ago.

  4. My husband saw Golden Earring in concert in London in 1974 and Lynyrd Skynyrd was the opening act! He said the crowd didn't want the opening act to leave, they were so good.

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Kay!!! Wow, your husband sure has a special memory to cherish. Be assured that there are several Skynyrd songs on the list to be included in this series later on.
