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.

Long Long Way From Home
Foreigner
It was a Monday
A day like any other day
I left the small town
For the apple in decay
It was my destiny
It’s what we needed to do
They were telling me
I’m telling you
I was inside
Looking outside
The millions of faces
But still I’m alone
Waiting
I was over waitin’
Paying a penance
I was longing for home
I’m looking out
For the two of us
I hope we’ll be here
When they’re through with us
I was inside
Looking outside
Oh the millions of faces
But still I’m alone
Waiting
I was over waiting
I could feel the tension
I was longing for home
I’m looking out
For the two of us
And I hope we’ll be here
When they’re through with us
I’m coming home
Monday
Sad sad Monday
She’s waiting for me
But I’m a long long way from home
Sad sad Monday
She’s waiting for me
But I’m a long long way from home
Sad sad Monday
Ah she’s waiting for me
But I’m a long long way from home

Come Monday
Jimmy Buffett
Headin' up to San Francisco
For the Labor Day weekend show
I've got my hushpuppies on
I guess I never was meant for glitter rock and roll
And honey I didn't know
That I'd be missin' you so
Come Monday
It'll be all right
Come Monday
I'll be holdin' you tight
I’ve spent four lonely days in a brown L. A. haze
And I just want you back by my side
Yes it's been quite a summer
Rent-a-cars
And westbound trains
And now you're off on vacation
Somethin' you tried to explain
And darlin' it's I love you so
That's the reason I just let you go
Come Monday
It'll be all right
Come Monday
I'll be holdin' you tight
I’ve spent four lonely days in a brown L. A. haze
And I just want you back by my side
I can't help it honey
You're that much a part of me now
Remember that night in Montana
When we said there'd be no room for doubt
I hope you're enjoyin' the scenery
I know that it's pretty up there
We can go hikin' on Tuesday
With you I'd walk anywhere
California has worn me quite thin
I just can't wait to see you again
Come Monday
It'll be all right
Come Monday
I'll be holdin' you tight
I’ve spent four lonely days in a brown L. A. haze
And I just want you back by my side
I’ve spent four lonely days in a brown L. A. haze
And I just want you back by my side
