ATF: Edgy

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.



Living on the Edge
Aerosmith
There's somethin' wrong with the world today
I don't know what it is
Something's wrong with our eyes
We're seein' things in a different way
And God knows it ain't His
It sure ain't no surprise

Yeah

We’re livin' on the edge
We’re livin' on the edge
We’re livin' on the edge
We’re livin' on the edge

There's somethin' wrong with the world today
The light bulb's gettin’ dim
There's meltdown in the sky
If you can judge a wise man
By the color of his skin
Then mister you're a better man than I

We’re livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Everybody
Everybody
We’re livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Everybody
Everybody
We’re livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Everybody
Everybody
We’re livin' on the edge
Everybody
Everybody

Tell me what you think about your situation
Complication
Aggravation
Is getting to you
If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin'
Back again
I bet you would
My friend
Again
And again
And again
And again
And again

Yeah

Tell me what you think about your situation
Complication
Aggravation
Is getting to you
If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'
Even if it was would you still come crawlin'
Back again
I bet you would
My friend
Again
And again
And again
And again

There’s something right with the world today
And everybody knows it's wrong
But we can tell 'em no
Or we could let it go
But I'd would rather be a hanging on

We’re livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
Everybody
Everybody
We’re livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Everybody
Everybody
We’re livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
Everybody
Everybody
We’re livin' on the edge
Everybody
Everybody

We’re livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'
We’re livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
We’re livin' on the edge
You can't stop yourself from fallin'
We’re livin' on the edge
We’re livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
Everybody
You can't help yourself
Everybody
We’re livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself at all
Everybody
Everybody
We’re livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself
You can't help yourself
We’re livin' on the edge

You can't help yourself
We’re livin' on the edge
You can't help yourself from fallin'

The Edge of Glory
Lady Gaga
There ain't no reason you and me should be alone
Tonight
Yeah baby
Tonight
Yeah baby
I got a reason that you who should take me home
Tonight
I need a man that thinks it's right when it's all wrong
Tonight
Yeah baby
Tonight
Yeah baby
Right on the limb is where we know
We both belong
Tonight
It's hard to feel the rush
To brush the dangerous
I'm gonna run right to
To the edge with you
Where we can both fall far in love

I'm on the edge
Of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment of truth
Out on the edge
Of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
I'm on the edge
Of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you

Another shot before we kiss the other side
Tonight
Yeah baby
Tonight
Yeah baby
I'm on the edge of something final
We call life tonight
Alright
Alright
Put on your shades
‘Cause I'll be dancing in the flames
Tonight
Yeah baby
Tonight
Yeah baby
It isn't hell if everybody knows my name
Tonight
Alright
Alright
It's hard to feel the rush
To brush the dangerous
I'm gonna run right to
To the edge with you
Where we can both fall far in love

I'm on the edge
Of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment of truth
Out on the edge
Of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
I'm on the edge
Of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you

I'm on the edge with you

I'm on the edge with you

I'm on the edge
Of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment of truth
Out on the edge
Of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
The edge
I'm on the edge
Of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you
With you
With you
With you
With you
I'm on the edge with you
With you
With you
With you
With you
I'm on the edge with you
With you
With you
With you
With you
I'm on the edge with you
With you
With you
With you
With you

  1. If Aerosmith thought there was something wrong with the world in 1993, what do you suppose this song would say if he wrote it now?

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Ann!!! To the best of my knowledge, Living on the Edge was written during the time when Stephen Tyler and Joe Perry were fighting their way off of heroine, and I think they are more at peace with the ways of this world again these days. Hopefully, they will be allowed and enabled to resist the temptation to return to the false bliss that heroine has to offer.

  2. Ah yes, why not tempt fate by stepping just close enough to the edge, but not fall off, right?!

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Karen!!! Alas, I can see now where I was right on the edge for years, but at the time, I had no idea of being anywhere close.

  6. Now I'm on edge...I might have to have a stiff scotch to take off the edge (not to take off the ledge)!
