Piano Man by Billy Joel
Released in 1973, this cool and chill song is largely inspired by Billy Joel's personal experience as a bar pianist.
(Lyrics under the cut)
[Verse 1] It's nine o'clock on a Saturday The regular crowd shuffles in There's an old man sittin' next to me Makin' love to his tonic and gin He says, "Son, can you play me a memory? I'm not really sure how it goes But it's sad, and it's sweet, and I knew it complete When I wore a younger man's clothes"
[Refrain] La, la-la, di-dee-da La-la, di-dee-da da-dum
[Chorus] Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright
[Verse 2] Now John at the bar is a friend of mine He gets me my drinks for free And he's quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke But there's someplace that he'd rather be He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me" As the smile ran away from his face "Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star If I could get out of this place"
[Refrain] Oh, la, la-la, di-dee-da La-la, di-dee-da da-dum
[Verse 3] Now Paul is a real estate novelist Who never had time for a wife And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the navy And probably will be for life And the waitress is practicing politics As the businessmen slowly get stoned Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness But it's better than drinkin' alone
[Piano Solo]
[Chorus] Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright
[Verse 4] It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday And the manager gives me a smile 'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see To forget about life for a while And the piano, it sounds like a carnival And the microphone smells like a beer And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"
[Refrain] Oh, la, la-la, di-dee-da La-la, di-dee-da da-dum
[Chorus] Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright

(Lyrics under the cut)
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1] When I look into your eyes I can see a love restrained But, darlin', when I hold you Don't you know I feel the same? Yeah
[Chorus] Nothin' lasts forever And we both know hearts can change And it's hard to hold a candle In the cold November rain
[Verse 2] We've been through this such a long, long time Just tryna kill the pain, ooh yeah But lovers always come and lovers always go And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today, walkin' away If we could take the time to lay it on the line I could rest my head, just knowin' that you were mine, all mine
[Chorus] So, if you want to love me Then, darlin', don't refrain Or I'll just end up walkin' In the cold November rain
[Refrain] Do you need some time on your own? Do you need some time all alone? Ooh, everybody needs some time on their own Ooh, don't you know you need some time all alone?
[Bridge] I know it's hard to keep an open heart When even friends seem out to harm you But if you could heal a broken heart Wouldn't time be out to charm you, woah-woah
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain] Sometimes, I need some time on my own Sometimes, I need some time all alone Ooh, everybody needs some time on their own Ooh, don't you know you need some time all alone?
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3] And when your fears subside And shadows still remain, ooh yeah I know that you can love me When there's no one left to blame
[Chorus] So, never mind the darkness We still can find a way 'Cause nothin' lasts forever Even cold November rain
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro] (You're not the only one, you're not the only one) Don't ya think that you need somebody? Don't ya think that you need someone? Everybody needs somebody You're not the only one, you're not the only one Don't ya think that you need somebody? Don't ya think that you need someone? Everybody needs somebody You're not the only one, you're not the only one Don't ya think that you need somebody? Don't ya think that you need someone? Everybody needs somebody You're not the only one, you're not the only one Don't ya think that you need somebody? Don't ya think that you need someone? Everybody needs somebody

[Verse 1] Would you know my name if I saw you in Heaven? Would it be the same if I saw you in Heaven?

[Verse 2] Would you hold my hand if I saw you in Heaven? Would you help me stand if I saw you in Heaven?
[Chorus] I'll find my way through night and day âCause I know I just can't stay here in Heaven
[Bridge] Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees Time can break your heart, have you begging please Begging please

(lyrics under the cut)
[Verse 1] A heart that's full up like a landfill A job that slowly kills you Bruises that won't heal You look so tired, unhappy Bring down the government They don't, they don't speak for us I'll take a quiet life A handshake of carbon monoxide
[Chorus] And no alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises Silent, silent
[Verse 2] This is my final fit My final bellyache with
[Chorus] No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises, please
[Verse 3] Such a pretty house And such a pretty garden
[Chorus] No alarms and no surprises (Get me out of here) No alarms and no surprises (Get me out of here) No alarms and no surprises, please (Get me out of here)

I'm back!
So, sorry for the big wait. I had an issue with my tumblr, therefore haven't been able to post or see anything. But I came back from the dead with my actual favorite song (for the second time, sorry).
This one is an exception, I will try to not put twice a song.
I'm gonna keep up with the lyrics thing, though.
