It's nine o'clock
on a Saturday
The regular crowd
shuffles in
There's an old man
sitting next to me
Making 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 na-- na---
na- na-- na-
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
feeling 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 na--
na--- na- na-- na-
Now Paul is
a real estate novelist
Who never had time
for a wife
And he's talking
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
drinking alone

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
feeling alright-

It's a pretty good
crowd for a Saturday
And the manager
give me a smile
'Cause he knows
that it's me
They've been coming
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 doing here
Oh- na-- na---
na- na-- na-
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
feeling alright-

Wise men say
only fools rush in
But I can't help
falling in
love with you
shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
if I can't help falling
in love with you
Like a river flows
surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Somethings are
meant to be
Take my hand
take my whole life too
For I can't help
falling in
love with you
Like a river flows
surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Somethings are
meant to be
Take my hand take
my whole life too
For I can't help
falling in
love with you
For I can't help
falling in
love with you.

Yeah- you are my fire
the one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way
But we are two worlds
apart can't reach to
Your heart
when you say
That I want it
that way
Tell me why
ain't nothin'
But a heartache
tell me why
Ain't nothin'
but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna
Hear you say
I want it that way
Am I your fire
your one desire
Yes I know
It's too late
but I want it
that way
Tell me why
ain't nothin'
But a heartache
tell me why
Ain't nothin'
but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna
Hear you say
I want it that way
Now I
can see
That we've fallen
apart
From the way that
it used to be yeah
No matter the distance
I want you to know
That deep down inside
of me
You are my fire
the one desire
You are you are
you are you are
Don't wanna hear
you say
Ain't nothin'
but a heartache
Ain't nothin'
but a mistake
I never wanna
hear you say
I want it that way
tell me why
Ain't nothin'
but a heartache
Tell me why
ain't nothin'
But a mistake
tell me why
I never wanna
hear you say
I want it that way
tell me why
Ain't nothin'
but a heartache
Ain't nothin'
but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna
Hear you say
I want it that way
Cuz I want it
that way-

I'm not in love
so don't forget it
It's just
a silly phase
I'm going through
and just because
I call you up
don't get me wrong
Don't think
you've got it made
I'm not in love no no
it's because
I like to see you
but then again
That doesn't mean
you mean
That much to me
so if I call you
Don't make a fuss
don't tell
Your friends
about the two of us
I'm not in love
no no it's because-

I keep your picture
upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain
that's lying there
So don't you ask me
to give it back
I know you know
it doesn't mean
That much to me
I'm not in love
No no it's because ooh
you'll wait
A long time for me
ooh you'll wait
A long time
ooh you'll wait
A long time for me
ooh you'll wait
A long time
I'm not in love
So don't forget it
it's just
A silly phase
I'm going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong
don't think
You've got it made
I'm not in love
I'm not
in love-

A hot summer night
fell like a net
I've gotta find
my baby yet
I need you
to soothe my head
Turn my blue
heart to red
Doctor doctor
give me the news
I've got a bad case
of loving you
No pill's gonna
cure my ill
I've got a bad case
of loving you-
A pretty face don't
make no pretty heart
I learned that
buddy from the start
you thing I'm cute
a little bit shy
Momma I ain't
that kind of guy
Doctor doctor
give me the news
I've got a bad case
of loving you
No pill's gonna
cure my ill
I've got a bad case
of loving you-

I know you like it
you like it on top
Tell me momma are
you gonna stop-
You had me down
2 1 to zip
smile of judas
on your lip
shake my fist
knock on wood
I've got it bad
and I've got it good
Doctor doctor
give me the news
I've got a bad case
of loving you
No pill's gonna
cure my ill
I've got a bad case
of loving you-

Such a feelings
coming over me
there is
wonder in most
everything I see
not a cloud in the sky
got the sun in my eyes
and I
won't be surprised
if it's a dream
everything
I want the world to be
is now coming
true especially
for me
and the reason
is clear
it's because
you are here
you're the nearest
thing to
heaven that I've seem
I'm on the
top of the world
looking
down on creation
and the only
explanation I can find
is the love
that I've found ever
since you've
been around
your loves
put me at the
top of the
world-

Something in the wind
has learned my name
and it's telling me
that things are not
the same in the leaves
on the trees
and the touch of
the breeze
there's a pleasing
sence of happiness
for me
There is only
one wish on my mind
when this day is
through I hope
that I will find
that tomorrow
will be just the
same for you and me
all I need will be
mine if you are here
I'm on the
top of the world
looking
down on creation
and the only
explanation I can find
is the love
that l've found ever
since you're been
around your loves
put me at the
top of the world
I'm on the
top of the world
looking
down on creation
and the only
explanation I can find
is the love
that I've found ever
since you've been
around your loves
put me at the
top of the
world-

Listen to the song
here in my heart
A melody I start
but can't complete
Listen to the sound
from deep within
It's only beginning
to find release
Oh the time
has come
For my dreams to
be heard
They will not
be pushed
Aside and turned
into your own
All cause you won't
listen
Listen I am
alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home
in my own home
And I've tried
and tried
To say whats
on my mind
You should
have known
Oh Now I'm done
believin you
You don't know
what I'm feelin
I'm more than
what you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I
gotta find my own
You should
have listened
There is
someone here inside
Someone I'd thought
had died So long ago
Oh I'm screamin'
out and
My dreams
will be heard
They will not be
pushed aside or worse
Into your own
all cause you won't
Listen
listen
I am alone at
a crossroads
I'm not at home
in my own home
And I've tried
and tried
To say whats
on my mind
You should
have known
Oh Now I'm done
believin you
You don't know
what I'm feelin
I'm more than
what you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I
gotta find my own
I don't know
where I belong
But I'll be
movin on
If you don't
if you won't
Listen
to the song
Here in my heart
a melody I've start
But I will complete
oh Now I'm done
Believin you
you don't know
What I'm feelin
I'm more than what
You made of me
I followed the voice
You think you
gave to me
But now I gotta find
my own my own

I used to think that
I wasn't fine enough
And I used
to think that
I wasn't
wild enough
But I won't
waste my time
Tryin to
figure out
Why you are
playin games
What's this all about
and I can't believe
Your hurting me

You ain't seen in me

I found a love
for me
Darling
just dive right in
And follow
my lead
Well I found a girl
beautiful and sweet
Oh I never knew
you were the someone
Waitin'
for me
'Cause we were
just kids
When we fell
in love
Not knowin'
what it was
I will not give you up
this time
Darling
just kiss me slow
Your heart is
all I own
And in your eyes
you're holdin' mine
Baby I'm dancin'
in the dark
With you
between my arms
Barefoot
on the grass
Listenin'
to our favourite song
When you said
you looked a mess
I whispered
underneath my breath
But you heard it
darling
You look perfect
tonight
Well
I found a woman
Stronger than anyone
I know
She shares my dreams
I hope that someday
I'll share
her home
I found a love
to carry
More than
just my secrets
To carry love to carry
children of our own
We are still kids
but we're so in love
Fightin'
against all odds
I know we'll
be alright this time
Darling
just hold my hand
Be my girl
I'll be your man
I see my future
in your eyes
Baby I'm dancin'
in the dark
With you
between my arms
Barefoot
on the grass
Listenin'
to our favourite song
When I saw you
in that dress
Lookin'
so beautiful
I don't deserve this
darling
You look perfect
tonight
Baby I'm dancin'
in the dark
With you
between my arms
Barefoot
on the grass
Listenin'
to our favourite song
I have faith in
what I see
Now I know I have met
an angel in person
And she looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect
tonight

Same bed
but it feels
Just a little bit
bigger now
Our song
on the radio
But it don't
sound the same
When our friends
talk about you
All it does is
just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks
a little
When I hear
your name
It all just sounds
like woo hu
Uhm too young too dumb
to realize
That I should've
bought you flowers
And held
your hand
Should've gave you
all my hours
When I had
the chance
Take you
to every party
'Cause all you wanted
to do was dance
Now
my baby's dancin'
But she's dancin'
with another man
My pride
my ego
My needs
and my selfish ways
Caused a good
strong woman like
You to walk
out my life
Now I never
never get to
Clean up the mess
I made oh
And it haunts me
every time
I close
my eyes
It all just sounds
like woo hu
Uhm too young too dumb
to realize
That I should've
bought you flowers
And held
your hand
Should've gave you
all my hours
When I had
the chance
Take you
to every party
'Cause all you wanted
to do was dance
Now
my baby's dancin'
But she's dancin'
with another man
Although it hurts
I'll be the first
To say that
I was wrong
Oh I know I'm probably
much too late
To try and apologize
for my mistakes
But I just want you
to know
I hope
he buys you flowers
I hope
he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
when he has the chance
Take you
to every party
'Cause I remember
how much
You loved
to dance
Do all the things
I should've done
When I was
your man
Do all the things
I should've done
When I was
your man

The whispers
in the morning
Of lovers
sleeping tight
Are rolling like
thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each move
you make
Your voice is warm
and tender
A love that I could
not forsake
Cause I am your lady
and you are my man
Whenever
you reach for me
I'll do all
that I can
Even though
there may be times
It seems
I'm far away
Never wonder
where I am
Cause I am always
by your side
Cause I am your lady
and you are my man
Whenever
you reach for me
I'll do all
that I can
We're heading
for something
Somewhere
I've never been
Sometimes
I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
of the power of love
The sound of
your heart beating
Made it clear suddenly
the feeling that
I can't go on
is light years away
Cause I am your lady
and you are my man
Whenever
you reach for me
I'm gonna do all
that I can
We're heading
for something
Somewhere
I've never been
Sometimes
I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
of the power of love
Power of love
woo woo woo woo
Some keep to love
power of love

First things first
I'ma say
All the words
inside my head
I'm fired up
and tired of
The way that things
have been oh woo
The way that things
have been oh woo
Second things second
don't you tell me
What you think
that I could be
I'm the one
at the sail
I'm the master
of my sea oh woo
The master
of my sea oh woo
I was broken
from a young age
Taking my sulking
to the masses
Writing my poems
for the few
That look at me
took to me
Shook to me
feeling me
Singing from heartache
from the pain
Taking my message
from the veins
Speaking my lesson
from the brain
Seeing the beauty
through the
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Pain
you break me down
You build me up
believer believer
Pain
oh let the bullets fly
Oh let them
rain
My life my love
my drive it came from
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Third things third
send a prayer
To the ones
up above
All the hate
that you've heard has
Turned your spirit
to a dove oh woo
Your spirit up above
oh woo
I was choking
in the crowd
Building my rain up
in the cloud
Falling like ashes
to the ground
Hoping my feelings
they would drown
But they never did
ever lived
Ebbing
and flowing
Inhibited limited
till it broke open
And rained down
and rained down like
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Pain
you break me down
You build me up
believer believer
Pain
oh let the bullets fly
Oh let them
rain
My life my love
my drive it came from
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Last things last
by the grace
Of the fire
and the flames
You're the face
of the future
The blood in my veins
oh woo
The blood in my veins
oh woo
But they never did
ever lived
Ebbing
and flowing
Inhibited limited
till it broke open
And rained down
and rained down like
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer
Pain
you break me down
You build me up
believer believer
Pain
oh let the bullets fly
Oh let them
rain
My life my love
my drive it came from
Pain
you made me a
You made me a
believer believer

Here comes a wave
meant to wash me away
A tide that is
taking me under
Swallowing sand left
with nothing to say
My voice drowned out
in the thunder
But
I won't cry
And I won't start
to crumble
Whenever
they try
To shut me
or cut me down
I won't
be silenced
You can't keep me
quiet
Won't tremble
when you try it
All I know is
I won't go speechless
'Cause
I'll breathe
When they try
to suffocate me
Don't you
underestimate me
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
Written in stone
every rule every word
Centuries old
and unbending
Stay
in your place
Better seen
and not heard
Well now that story is
ending
'Cause I I cannot
start to crumble
So come on
and try
Try to shut me
and cut me down
I won't
be silenced
You can't keep me
quiet
Won't tremble
when you try it
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No I won't live
unspoken
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
Try to lock me
in this cage
I won't just
lay me down and die
I will take these
broken wings
And watch me burn
across the sky
Hear the echo
saying
I won't
be silenced
Though you wanna
see me tremble
When
you try it
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless
'Cause
I'll breathe
When they try
to suffocate me
Don't you
underestimate me
'Cause I know that
I won't go speechless
All I know is
I won't go
Speechless
speechless

I don't wanna
be another him
That sxxx is over
finally you found
Yourself a friend
and you run him over
Ever since
the start
I saw the end
around the corner
'Cause I know
you so well
So predictable
you're an animal
I can't
let you go
You're so good
at being bad you know
So predictable
you're an animal
I can't

liar
And I know you so well

Yesterday
All my troubles
Seemed so far away
Now it looks as though
They're here to stay
Oh I believe in
Yesterday
Suddenly
I'm not half the man
I used to be
There's a shadow
Hanging over me
Oh Yesterday
Came suddenly
Why she
Had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said
Something wrong now I
long for yesterday
Yesterday
love was such an easy
Game to play
Now I need a place to
Hide away
Oh I believe in
Yesterday Why she
Had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said
Something wrong now I
long for yesterday
Yesterday
love was such an easy
Game to play
Now I need a place to
Hide away
Oh I believe in
Yesterday Mm mm
Mm mm mm mm mm.

If you search
for tenderness
It isn't hard
to find
You can have the love
you need to live
But if you look
for truthfulness
You might just as well
be blind
It always seems to be
so hard to give
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you
I can always
find someone
To say they
sympathize
If I wear my heart out
on my sleeve
But I don't want
some pretty face
To tell me
pretty lies
All I want is
someone to believe
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you
I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security
until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
with promises again
I know (I know)
I know wo wo
When I'm deep
inside of me
Don't be too
concerned
I won't ask
for nothing
While
I'm gone
But when I want
sincerity
Tell me
where else can I turn
'Cause you're the one
that I depend upon
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you

You're just too
good to be true
Can't take my eyes
off you
You'd be like
heaven to touch
I wanna hold you
so much
At long last
love has arrived
And I thank god
I'm alive
You're just too
good to be true
Can't take my eyes
off you
Pardon the way
that I stare
There's nothin
else to compare
The sight of you
leaves me weak
There are no words
left to speak
But if you
feel like I feel
Please let me know
that it's real
You're just too
good to be true
Can't take my eyes
off you

I love you baby
and if it's
Quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the
lonely night
I love you baby
trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby
don't bring me
Down I pray
oh pretty baby
Now that I found
you stay
And let me
love you
Baby let me
love you
You're just too
good to be true
Can't take my eyes
off you
You'd be like
heaven to touch
I wanna hold you
so much
At long last
love has arrived
And I thank god
I'm alive
You're just too
good to be true
Can't take my eyes
off you

I love you baby
and If It's
Quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the
lonely night
I love you baby
trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby
don't bring me
Down I pray
oh pretty baby
Now that I found
you stay
Love you baby
trust in me when I say
I need you baby
don't bring me
Down I pray
oh pretty baby
Now that I found
you stay
And let me
love you
Baby let me
love you

Um-------
there's a hero--
If you look inside
your heart-
You don't have
to be afraid
Oh what you are-----
there's an answer---
If you reach
into your soul---
And the sorrow
that you know--
Will melt
away----------
And then a hero
comes along
With the strength
to carry on--
And you cast
your fears aside--
And you know
you can survive---
So when you feel
like hope is gone--
Look inside you and
be strong--
And you finally
see the truth--
That a hero
lies in you--
It's a long-- road--
when you face
The world alone--
no one reaches out
A hand
for you to hold------
You can find--- love--
if you search
Within yourself---
and the emptiness
You felt-- will
disappear------------
And then a hero
comes along
With the strength
to carry on---
And you cast
you fears aside--
And you know
you can survive---
So when you feel
like hope is gone--
Look inside you
and be strong----
And you'll finally
see the truth---
That a hero lies
in you--- oh-----
Lord knows-----
dreams are hard to-
Follow-- but don't let
anyone---
Tear them away-----
hold-- on-----
There will be
tomorrow-- in- time--
You'll find
the way-----
And then a hero
comes along--
With the strength
to carry on---
And you cast
your fears aside----
And you know
you can survive----
So when you feel
like hope is gone---
Look inside you and
be strong---
And you'll finally
see the truth----
That a hero lies
in you-----
That a hero lies
in---- you-
Um---- that a hero
lies in-- you---

I don't drink coffee
I take tea my dear
I like my toast done
on the side
And you can hear it
in my accent
When I talk
I'm an Englishman
In New York
see me walking down
Fifth avenue
a walking cane here
At my side
I take it everywhere
I walk
I'm an Englishman
In New York
uh- I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
In New York uh-
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
In New York
if manners maketh
Man as someone said
then he's the hero
Of the day
it takes a man
To suffer ignorance
and smile
Be yourself no matter
what they say uh-
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
in New York uh-
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
in New York
Modesty propriety
can lead to notoriety
You could end up
as the only one
Gentleness sobriety
are rare
In this society
at night
A candle's brighter
than the sun-

Takes more than combat
gear to make a man
Takes more than
license for a gun
Confront your enemies
avoid them
When you can
a gentleman will walk
But never run
if 'manners maketh
Man' as someone said
then he's the hero
Of the day
it takes a man
To suffer ignorance
and smile
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say-
