Questa canzone mi ricorda un gita a firenze in 4 su una cinquecento rossa. La cinquecento aveva un mangiacassette e ci fece da colonna sonora l'album di cui questa canzone e l'album della canzone che segue, che era appena uscito. Era un sabato, il 18 marzo 1978 ed erano appena due giorni che avevano rapito Aldo Moro
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, di da da La la, di di 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 all feelin' all right
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine He gets me my drinks for free And he's quick with a joke and he'll light up your smoke But there's some place that he'd rather be He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me." As his 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, di da da La la, di da da da dum
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 businessman slowly gets stoned Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness But it's better than drinkin' alone
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 got us all feeling alright
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 their life for a while And the piano, it sounds like a carnivore 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, di da da La la, di da 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 got us all feeling alright
I got my first real six-string Bought it at the five-and-dime Played 'til my fingers bled It was summer of '69
Me and some guys from school Had a Band and we tried real hard Jimmy quit and Jody got married I shualda known we'd never get far
Oh when I lock back now That was seemes to last forever And if I had the choice Ya - I'd always wanna be there Those were the best days of my life
(CHORUS)
Ain't no use in complainin' When you got a job to do Spent my evenin's down at the drive in And that's when I met you
Standin on a mama's porch You told me that you'd wait forever Oh and when you held my hand I knew that it was no or never Those were the best days of my life
(Chorus) Back in Summer of '69
Man we were killin' time We were young and restless We needed to unwind I guess nothin' can last forever, no
And now the times are changin' Look at everything that's come and gone Somethimes when I play that old six-string I think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standin' on a mama's porch You told me it would last forever Oh the way you held my hand I knew that it was now or never Those were the best days of my life
