ATF: More Mondays

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.

Monday Monday

The Mamas & The Papas

Monday Monday

So good to me

Monday morning

It was all I hoped it would be

Oh Monday morning

Monday morning couldn't guarantee

That Monday evening you would still be here with me

Monday Monday

Can't trust that day

Monday Monday

Sometimes it just turns out that way

Oh Monday morning

You gave me no warning of what was to be

Oh Monday Monday

How could you leave and not take me

Every other day

Every other day

Every other day

Every other day of the week is fine

Yeah

But whenever Monday comes

But whenever Monday comes

But whenever Monday comes

You can find me cryin' all of the time

Monday Monday

So good to me

Monday morning

It was all I hoped it would be

But Monday morning

Monday morning couldn't guarantee

That Monday evening you would still be here with me

Every other day

Every other day

Every other day,

Every other day of the week is fine

Yeah

But whenever Monday comes

But whenever Monday comes

But whenever Monday comes

You can find me cryin' all of the time

Monday Monday

Can't trust that day

Monday Monday

It just turns out that way

Whoa Monday Monday

Don't go away

Monday Monday…

Manic Monday

The Bangles

Six o’clock already

I was just in the middle of a dream

I was kissin’ Valentino

By a crystal blue Italian stream

But I can’t be late

‘Cause then I guess I just won’t get paid

These are the days when you wish

Your bed was already made

It’ just another manic Monday

I wish it was Sunday

‘Cause that’s my fun day

My I don’t have to run day

It’s just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train

Got to be to work by nine

And if I had an air-o-plane

I still couldn’t make it on time

‘Cause it takes me so long

Just to figure out what I’m gonna wear

Blame it on the train

But the boss is already there

It’ just another manic Monday

I wish it was Sunday

‘Cause that’s my fun day

My I don’t have to run day

It’s just another manic Monday

All of the nights

Why did my lover have to pick last night

To get down

Doesn’t it matter

That I have to feed the both of us

Employment’s down

He tells me in his bedroom voice

Come on honey

Let’s go make some noise

Time it goes so fast

When you’re having fun

It’ just another manic Monday

I wish it was Sunday

‘Cause that’s my fun day

My I don’t have to run day

It’s just another manic Monday

I wish it was Sunday

‘Cause that’s my fun day

It’s just another manic Monday

Hazy Shade of Winter

Simon & Grafunkel

Time time time

See what’s become of me

While I looked around

For my possibilities

I was so hard to please

But look around

Leaves are brown

And the sky

Is a hazy shade of winter

Hear the Salvation Army band

Down by the riverside

It’s bound to be a better ride

Than what you’ve got planned

Carry your cup in your hand

And look around

Leaves are brown now

And the sky

Is a hazy shade of winter

Hang on to your hopes my friend

That’s an easy thing to say

But if your hopes should pass away

It’s simply pretend

That you can build them again

Look around

The grass is high

The fields are ripe

It’s the springtime of my life

Aaah

Seasons change with the scenery

Weaving time in a tapestry

Won’t you stop and remember me

At any convenient time

Funny how my memory slips

While looking over manuscripts

Or unpublished rhyme

Drinking my vodka and lime

I look around

Leaves are brown now

And the sky

Is a hazy shade of winter

Look around

Leaves are brown

There’s a patch of snow

On the ground

Look around

Leaves are brown

There’s a patch of snow

On the ground

Look around

Leaves are brown

There’s a patch of snow

On the ground

TWO FOR TUESDAY

Link: [The Bangles]

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.

Eternal Flame

The Bangles

Close your eyes

Give me your hand

Darling

Do you feel my heart beating

Do you understand

Do you feel the same

Am I only dreaming

Is this burning

An eternal flame

I believe

It’s meant to be

Darling

I watch you when you are sleeping

You belong with me

Do you feel the same

Am I only dreaming

Or is this burning

Burning

An eternal flame

Say my name

Sun shines through the rain

A whole life

So lonely

And then you come

And ease the pain

I don’t want to lose this feeling

Oh

Say my name

Sun shines through the rain

A whole life

So lonely

And then you come

And ease the pain

I don’t want to lose this feeling

Oh

Close your eyes

Give me your hand

Do you feel my heart beating

Do you understand

Do you feel the same

Am I only dreaming

Or is this burning

An eternal flame

Close your eyes

Give me your hand

Darling

Do you feel my heart beating

Do you understand

Do you feel the same

Am I only dreaming

Is this burning

An eternal flame

Close your eyes

Give me your hand

Darling

Do you feel my heart beating

Do you understand

Do you feel the same

Am I only dreaming

An eternal flame

Close your eyes

Give me your hand

Darling

Do you feel my heart beating

Do you understand

Do you feel the same

Am I only dreaming

Is this burning

An eternal flame
