She's Got A Way
Piano Man
Weekend Song
All You Wanna Do Is Dance
She's Always A Woman
Only The Good Die Young
Big Shot
UpTown Girl
We Didn't Start The Fire
She's got a way about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I
can't live without her
She's got a way of pleasin'
I don't know what it is
But
there doesn't have to be a reason
Anyway
She's got a smile that heals me
I
don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me
She's got a way of
talkin'
I don't know what it is
But it lifts me up when we are
walkin'
Anywhere
She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a
sound
She touches me and I get turned around
She's got a way of showin'
How I
make her feel
And I find the strength to keep on goin'
She's got a light around
her
And everywhere she goes
A million dreams of love surround
her
Everywhere
She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a
sound
She touches me and I get turned around
She's got a smile that heals me
I
don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when she reveals me
She's got a way
about her
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without
her
Anyway
Billy Joel Lyrics
It's nine o'clock on a saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's
an old man sitting 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
La la la, de de
da
La la, de de da da da
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
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
Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
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
Chorus
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?
Oh, la la la, de de
da
La la, de de da da da
Chorus
Billy Joel Lyrics
This back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
Two more
hours to go
Yes, it's keeping me alive doin' nine to five
And I ain't got nothin to
show
Pretty soon I'll be leavin'
With the wages I'm receivin'
But I know it's
gonna be all right
Come on, babe, and take me away
We got some money to spend
tonight
Pick me up at the station
Meet me at the train
Have a meal and a
shower and a change of clothes
I can't afford a vacation
But I can take the
strain
Long as I can be with you
Find a way to burn it as quickly as I earn
it
Yes, it's back-breakin', bone-shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
Two more
hours to go
Seven long years for the same corporation
And I ain't got nothin' to
show
And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll be just breakin' even
But I know it's gonna be
all right
I shake off my blues when you put on your shoes
We got some money to spend
tonight
Oh, I don't wanna stand here and sound accusin'
Everybody does their
share of losin'
If I'm gonna lose it I might as well be doin' it right
Pick me up
at the station
Meet me at the train
Have a meal and a shower and a change of
clothes
I can't afford a vacation
But I can take the strain
Long as I can be with
you
Find a way to burn it as quickly as I earn it
Yes, it's back-breakin', bone-
shakin', belly-achin', hard-workin'
Two more hours to go
Yes, it's keepin' me alive
doin' nine to five
And I ain't got nothin' to show
And tonight when I'm leavin' I'll
be just breakin' even
But I know it's gonna be all right
Come on, babe, and take me
away
We got some money to spend tonight
Come on, babe, take me away
We got some
money to spend tonight
Billy Joel Lyrics
Oh baby, you don't get turned on by the radio.
Oh baby, you got nothing
to play on your stereo.
Why don't the beatles get back together?
Why don't nobody
sing of romance? -
Oh baby, all you wanna do is dance.
Oh baby, I think you are
lost in the seventies.
Oh baby, the music she ain't what she used to be.
You don't
understand what they're saying,
You've given it every chance
Oh baby, all you wanna
do is dance.
Well you wish you were back in the good old days,
When tomatoes were
cheaper,
And you never heard the words of your favorite songs
Through a three inch
speaker.
And you never messed around with dangerous drugs,
You were all getting sick
on beer-
And you didn't get any (unless you went steady and made out for a
year).
Well you can hide away honey, in your rock and roll dreams,
You can stand
by your blue suede shoes-
But the party is over,
And I'm getting tired of waiting for
you.
Oh baby, where are the oldies they used to play?
Oh baby, you want to crawl
back into yesterday,
You don't want to deal with the future,
You don't want to make
any plans-
Oh baby, all you wanna do is dance.
Billy Joel Lyrics
She's always a woman
She can kill with a smile
She can wound with
her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she
wants you to see
She hides like a child
But she's always a woman to me
She can
lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But
she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her, as long as it's free
She
steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me
Chorus
Oh-she takes care of
herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh-and she never gives
out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
And she'll promise you
more
Than the garden of eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're
bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on
yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me
Chorus
She is frequently
kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
But
she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw
shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
Billy Joel Lyrics
Only the good die young
Come out virginia, don't let me wait
You
catholic girls start much too late
Aw but sooner or later it comes down to fate
I
might as well be the one
They showed you a statue, told you to pray
They built
you a temple and locked you away
But they never told you the price that you pay
For
things that you might have done.....
Only the good die young
Thats what I
said
Only the good die young x2
You might have heard I run with a dangerous
crowd
We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud
We might be laughing a bit too
loud
Aw but that never hurt no one
Come on virginia show me a sign
Send up a
signal I'll throw you the line
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
Never
lets in the sun
Darlin' only the good die young
(woah x5 )
I tell ya
Only the
good die young x2
You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
You
got a brand new soul
Mmmm, and a cross of gold
But virginia they didn't give you
quite enough information
You didn't count on me
When you were counting on your
rosary
(oh woah woah)
They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some
say it's better but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the
saints
The sinners are much more fun...
You know that only the good die
young
Oh woah baby
I tell ya
Only the good die young, x2
(just music here,
saxaphone? )
You say your mother told you all that I could give you was a
reputation
Aww she never cared for me
But did she ever say a prayer for me? oh woah
woah
Come out come out virgina don't let me wait,
The catholic girls start much
too late
Sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one,
U know
that only the good die young
Im telling u baby
Only the good die young x2
Only
the gooooooooooooooood
Only the good die young
Only the gooooooooooooooood
Only
the good die young
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooo oooooooooo...
Billy Joel Lyrics
You went uptown riding in your limousine
In your fine park avenue
clothes
You had the dom perignon in your hand
And the spoon up your nose
And when
you wake up in the morning
With your head on fire
And your eyes too bloody to
see
Go on and cry in your coffee
But don't come bitchin' to me
Because you had
to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot,
didn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last
night
You know what everything's about
You had to have a white hot spotlight
You
had to be a big shot last night
They were all impressed with your halston
dress
And the people that you knew at elaine's
And the story of your latest
success
Kept 'em so entertained
But now you just can't remember
All the things you
said
And you're not sure you want to know
I'll give you one hint, honey
You sure
did put on a show
Yes, yes, you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to prove
it to the crowd
You had to be a big shot, didn't you
All your friends were so knocked
out
You had to have the last word, last night
You're so much fun to be around
You
had to have the front page, bold type
You had to be a big shot last night
Well,
it's no big sin to stick your two cents in
If you know when to leave it alone
But you
went over the line
You couldn't see it was time to go home
No, no, no, no, no, no,
you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a
big shot, didn't you
All your friends were so knocked out
You had to have the last
word, last night
So much fun to be around
You had to have a white hot
spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night
Billy Joel Lyrics
Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had
a back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I'm gonna try for an uptown
girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood
can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
And when she
knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her
mind
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown
girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class
toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
Uptown
girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes
in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
And when
she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's
mine
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
With and uptown
girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood
can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
Uptown
girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My
uptown girl
Don't you know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
Don't
you know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
