ATF: Wants and Needs

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite 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 that your musical tastes can be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to make.  I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Wanted Dead or Alive
Bon Jovi
It's all the same
Only the names will change
Every day
It seems we're wastin’ away
Another place
Where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night
Just to get back home

I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted
Dead or alive
Wanted
Dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep
Sometimes it's not for days
And the people I meet
Always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're alone
All you do is think

I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted
Wanted
Dead or alive
Wanted
Wanted
Dead or alive

Oh
I ride

Yeah

I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted
Wanted
Dead or alive

I walk these streets
A loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps
‘Cause I might not make it back
I’ve been everywhere
Oh yeah
And I'm standin’ tall
I've seen a million faces
And I've rocked them all

Because I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted
Wanted
Dead or alive



You Can’t Always Get What You Want
The Rolling Stones
I saw her today t the reception
A glass of wine In her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was a Footloose man
No
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
You find
You get what you need

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
Well you might find
You get what you need

And I went down To the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singin’
We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't
We're gonna blow
A 50-amp fuse
Sing it to me

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
Well you just might find
You get what you need
Oh baby
Yeah

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor
Cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah
And he said one word to me
And that was
Dead
I said to him

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
You just might find
You get what you need
Oh yes

You get what you need
Yeah

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

You can't always get what you want
Yeah
You can't always get what you want
Eew yeah
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
You just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
Oh yes
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
You just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
Oh yes
