atlantis

the lost city of Atlantis...I kinda love songs about Greek and Roman mythology and such....history and whatnot....like, that Pompeii song.....Calypso....and this gem.....

this morning....i was browsing my playlists as I was getting breakfast ready....and one playlist....called Happy, only contained one song....which is just like me....to have something all set up for that type of quick...emergency pill...something upbeat and cheesy....as this usually works the fastest...like an espresso shot.

Looking for Atlantis

it's by an obscure 80's band....Prefab Sprout.  I know....weird...but...this is what is in my internal music database....and I have an almost Rain Man ability to name that tune in 2 seconds of all...any 80's song....and not just the common ones....the weird obscure ones too....
I have to be honest though, my Achilles' heel is...bands like Whitesnake, Whitelion....crap like that..(big hair bands).  I'm more of a new wave 80's...tears for fears....spandau ballet, aztec camera, split enz, style council, scritti politti, thompson twins...oh, and duran duran.....etc.  yeah....that stuff, across the pond....did some great 80's over there...

so anyway...today....I must have been looking for Atlantis.....because it hit the spot....the lyrics totally make me happy and the beat...is....well..upbeat.....anyway...check it out...should you want a multi-media party right now :)

if you're looking for Atlantis....
you should cast your eye on me.

Put your two and two together.
Don't you know who built atlantis, then returned it to the sea...
Don't you know who owns the weather?
(rain or shine)

 

Sure is good to seek a challenge
Sure is fine to set your sights
Sure is foolish to be blinded

There are legions out there churching
Searching for the holy grail
Isn't one of them can find it

You should be loving someone
And you know who it must be
Cause you'll never find Atlantis
Till you make that someone me.


(best part of the song is right here...and oh, how I love bullet lists....concise)

Say you do find your volcano and the darn thing is still hot...
Lesson one:  Child don't waste it
Lesson two: The world's your cherry
(but tomorrow maybe not) 
Lesson three: Come on and taste it. 

You should be loving someone
And you know who it must be
Cause you'll never find Atlantis
Till you make that someone me.





Peace and love...and Atlantis....may you find your lost civilization...you know...the one that kicks ass and should you already be living there.....enjoy the weather
