ATF: Heroic Exploits

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.



Snoopy vs. The Red Baron
The Royal Guardsmen
After the turn of the century
In the clear blue skies over Germany
Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard
Like the screamin’ sound of a big war bird
Up in the sky
A man in a plane
Baron von Richthofen
Was his name
Eighty men tried
And eighty men died
Now they're buried together
On the countryside

Ten
Twenty
Thirty
Forty
Fifty or more
The bloody Red Baron
Was rollin' up the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany

In the nick of time
A hero arose
A funny-lookin’ dog
With a big black nose
He flew into the sky
To seek revenge
But the Baron shot him down
Curses
Foiled again

Ten
Twenty
Thirty
Forty
Fifty or more
The bloody Red Baron
Was rollin' up the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany

Now Snoopy had sworn that he'd get that man
So he asked the Great Pumpkin for a new battle plan
He challenged the German
To a real dogfight
While the Baron was laughin’
He got him in his sight

That bloody Red Baron
Was in a fix
He'd tried everything
But he'd run out of tricks
Snoopy fired once
And he fired twice
And that bloody Red Baron
Went spinnin’ out of sight

Ten
Twenty
Thirty
Forty
Fifty or more
The bloody Red Baron
Was rollin' up the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany
Well
Ten
Twenty
Thirty
Forty
Fifty or more
The bloody Red Baron
Was rollin' up the score



Iron Man
Black Sabbath
Has he lost his mind
Can he see or is he blind
Can he walk at all
Or if he moves will he fall

Is he alive or dead
Has he thoughts within his head
We'll just pass him there
Why should we even care

He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
When he traveled time
For the future of mankind

Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Now the time is here
For iron man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron man lives again

Black Sabbath vs. The Cardigans



Iron Man
Black Sabbath
I am Iron Man

Has he lost his mind
Can he see or is he blind
Can he walk at all
Or if he moves will he fall

Is he alive or dead
Has he thoughts within his head
We’ll just pass him there
Why should we even care

He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
Where he traveled time
For the future of mankind

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfold

Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again




Iron Man
The Cardigans
I am Iron Man

Has he lost his mind
Can he see or is he blind
Can he walk at all
Or if he moves will he fall

Is he alive or dead
Has he thoughts within his head
We’ll just pass him there
Why should we even care

Oh Iron Man

He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
Where he travelled time
For the future of mankind

Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfurl

No nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
And nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Oh

Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again

Oh Iron Man

TWO FOR TUESDAY


Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


Paranoid
Black Sabbath
Finished with my woman
‘Cause she couldn’t help me
With my mind
People think I’m insane
Because I am frowning
All the time

All day long I think of things
But nothing seems
To satisfy
Think I’ll lose my mind
If I don’t find something
To pacify

Can you help me
Occupy my brain
Oh yeah

I need someone to show me
The things in life that
I can’t find
I can’t see the things
That make true happiness
I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh
And you will laugh
And I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel
And love to me
Is so unreal

And so as you hear
These words telling me now
Of my state
I tell you to enjoy life
I wish I could but
It’s too late


NOTE: The lyrics on the video are somewhat different from those taken from the album version, which are below.

Luke’s Wall/War Pigs
Black Sabbath
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death’s construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh Lord yeah

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they got out to fight
They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell them they are powered minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait ‘til their Judgment Day comes
Yeah

Now in darkness
World stops turning
Ashes were their bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of Judgment
God is calling
Underneath the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing
Spreads his wings
Oh Lord yeah
