A tribute to ATS

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.





It doesn't matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel I'll convey
Some inner truth or vast reflection
But I've said nothing so far
And I can keep it up for as long as it takes
And it don't matter who you are
If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks
Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The Hook brings you back
On that you can rely
There is something amiss
I am being insincere
In fact I don't mean any of this
Still my confession draws you near
To confuse the issue I refer
To familiar heroes from long ago
No matter how much Peter loved her
What made the Pan refuse to grow
Was that Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The Hook brings you back
On that you can rely
Suck it in suck it in suck it in
If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
Make a desperate move or else you'll win
And then begin
To see
What you're doing to me this MTV is not for free
It's so PC it's killing me
So desperately I sing to thee
Of love
Sure but also of rage and hate and pain and fear of self
And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf
I've tried well no in fact I lied
Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside
To hide or slide
I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride until I've died
And only then shall I abide this tide
Of catchy little tunes
Of hip three minute diddys
I wanna bust all your balloons
I wanna burn all your cities to the ground
I've found
I will not mess around
Unless I play then hey
I will go on all day. Hear what I say
I have a prayer to pray
That's really all this was
And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck
I don't rely on luck because
The Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The Hoooooook
On that you can rely


Wishing you all a beautiful time before the new year starts!

Politicians hey:

I promise each and every citizen a rose garden!

A few months later:

It's wonderful to be here, it's certainly a thrill ... you're such a lovely audience we'd love to take you home with us ... but you know, the whole Covid thingie.

Imagine all the people sleeping on my couch - nope not happening.

I actually wanted to save this one for New Year's eve, considering we're in this no-person's land between Christmas and 2021.

So I say "carpe diem", because where in the world would I be without ATS?

Haha, Blues Traveler trolling everyone with this one.

(sung to the tune of "Deck the Halls")
Troll-lol-lol-lol-lol, lol-lol, lol, lol.



Happy New Year, OP and all!

Troll ahead (I mean assuming anybody is), I'm having fun.

Glad to hear it!
Enjoy your holidays!

I get why you would say that but I wasn't trolling, ironically enough.

a reply to: 19Bones79

Sorry my comment was unclear.

That's the first time I've read Blues Traveler's lyrics, and they're hilariously trolling their fans. Or maybe I'm misinterpreting them?

I wasn't talking about your post at all!

Have a good one

Sweet, no worries!
