ATF: Heavy Metal Thunder

This weekly 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.

Born to be Wild

Get your motor runnin'

Head out on the highway

Lookin’ for adventure

In whatever comes our way

Yeah darlin'

Gonna make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all of your guns at once

And

Explode into space

I like smoke and lightnin'

Heavy metal thunder

Racin’ with the wind

And the feelin’ that I'm under

Yeah darlin'

Gonna make it happen

Take the world in a lovin’ embrace

Fire all of your guns at once

And

Explode into space

Like a true nature’s child

We were born

Born to be wild

We can climb so high

I never wanna die

Born to be wild

Born to be wild

Get your motor runnin'

Head out on the highway

Lookin’ for adventure

In whatever comes our way

Yeah darlin'

Gonna make it happen

Take the world in a lovin’ embrace

Fire all of your guns at once

And

Explode into space

Like a true nature’s child

We were born

Born to be wild

We can climb so high

I never wanna die

Born to be wild

In the middle of a railroad track

Went down the highway

Broke the limit

Went through to Texas

And we had some fun

We met some girls

Some dancers who gave a good time

Broke all the rules

Played all the fools

You Shook Me All Night Long

AC/DC

She was a fast machine

She kept her motor clean

She was the best damn woman

That I’d ever seen

She had the sightless eyes

Tellin’ me no lies

Knockin' me out

With those American thighs

Takin’ more than her share

Had me fightin’ for air

She told me to come

But I was already there

'Cause the walls start shakin’

The earth was quakin’

My mind was achin’

And we were makin’ it

And you

Shook me all night long

Yeah you

Shook me all night long

Workin’ double time

On her seduction line

She was one of a kind

She's just mine all mine

Wanted no applause

Just another course

Made a meal out of me

And come back for more

Had to cool me down

To take another round

Now I'm back in the ring

To take another swing

That the walls were shakin’

The earth was quakin’

My mind was achin’

And we were makin’ it

And you

Shook me all night long,

Yeah you

Shook me all night long

Knocked me out

And then you

Shook me all night long

Had me shakin'

Then you

Shook me all night long

Yeah ya shook me

Well ya took me

You really took me

And you

Shook me all night long

Oh you

Shook me all night long

Yeah yeah you

Shook me all night long

Ya really got me

And you

Shook me all night long

Yeah ya shook me

Yeah ya shook me

All night long

Gonna look you right in the eye

Tell you what I'm gonna do

You know I'm gonna

***WARNING***

If you have any suspicions of possibility being even somewhat faint of heart, DO NOT have your speaker volume cranked up to the max at the beginning of this song.  I would, however, highly recommend it soon afterward (like maybe at the 34 second mark).

Time

Pink Floyd

Ticking away

The moments

That make up a dull day

You fritter and waste

The hours

In an off-hand way

Kicking around

On a piece of ground

In your home town

Waiting for someone

Or something

To show you the way

Tired of lying

In the sunshine

Staying home

To watch the rain

You are young

And life is long

And there is time

To kill today

And then the one day you find

Ten years have got behind you

No one told you when to run

You missed the starting gun

And you run

And you run

To catch up with the sun

But it's sinking

And racing around

To come up behind you again

The sun is the same

In the relative way

But you're older

And shorter of breath

And one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter

Never seem to find the time

Plans that either come to naught

Or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation

Is the English way

The time is gone

The song is over

Thought I'd something

More to say

Home

Home again

I like to be here

When I can

When I come home

Cold and tired

It's good to warm my bones

Beside the fire

Far away

Across the field

Tolling on the iron bell

Calls the faithful

To their knees

And hear

The softly spoken

Magic spells

Link: [AC/DC]

Hell’s Bells

AC/DC

I'm rollin’ thunder

Pourin’ rain

I'm comin’ on

Like a hurricane

My lightnin's flashin’

Across the sky

You're only young

But you're gonna die

I won't take no prisoners

Won't spare no lives

Nobody's

Putting up a fight

Ah I got my bell

I'm gonna take you to hell

I'm gonna get ya

Satan get ya

Hell’s bells

Hell’s bells

You got me ringin’

Hell’s bells

My temperature's high

Hell’s bells

I'll give you black sensations

Up and down your spine

If you're into evil

You're a friend of mine

See the white light flashin’

As I split the night

‘Cause if good's on the left

Then I'm sticking to the right

I won't take no prisoners

Won't spare no lives

Nobody's

Puttin' up a fight

I got my bell

I'm gonna take you to hell

I'm gonna get ya

Satan get ya

Hell’s bells

Oh Hell’s bells

You got me ringing

Hell’s bells

My temperature's high

Hell’s bells

Yeah

Hell’s bells

Satan' coming to you

Hell’s bells

He's ringing them now

Those hell’s bells

My temperature's high

Hell’s bells

Across the sky

Hell’s bells

They're takin’ you down

Hell’s bells

They're draggin’ you down

Hell’s bells

Gonna split the night

Hell’s bells

There's no way to fight

Yeah

Hell’s bells
