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-

Desperado
why don't you come to
Your senses
you've been out
Ridin fences
for so long now
Oh you're a hard one
but I know that
You've got
your reasons
These things
that are pleasin'
You can hurt you
somehow
Don't you draw
the Queen of diamonds
Boy she'll beat you
if she's able
You know
the Queen of hearts
Is always
your best bet
Now it seems to me
some fine things
Have been laid
upon your table
But you only
want the ones
You can't get
desperado
Oh you ain't
gettin no younger
Your pain and
your hunger
They're drivin
you home
And freedom
oh freedom
Well that's just
some people talkin'
Your prison is
walking through
This world all alone
don't you
Feet get cold
in the wintertime
The sky won't snow
and the sun
Won't shine
it's hard to tell
The night time
from the day
And you're losin all
your highs and lows
Ain't it funny
how the feelin
Goes away
desperado
Why don't you
come to your senses
Come down
from your fences
Open the gates
it may be rainin
But there's a rainbow
above you
You'd better
let somebody love you
(Let somebody
love you)
You'd better
let somebody love you
Before
it's too late-

Fever dream
high
In the quiet
of the night
You know
that I caught it
Bad bad boy
shiny toy with a price
You know
that I bought it
Killing me slow
out the window
I'm always waiting
for you
To be waiting
below
Devils roll the dice
angels roll their eyes
What doesn't kill me
makes me want you more
And it's new
the shape of your body
It's blue
the feeling I've got
And it's woo woah
it's a cruel summer
It's cool
that's what I tell 'em
No rules
in breakable heaven
But woo woah
it's a cruel summer
With
you
Hang your head low
in the glow
Of the vending machine
I'm not dying
We say that
we'll just screw it up
In these trying times
we're not trying
So cut the headlights
summer's a knife
I'm always waiting
for you
Just to cut
to the bone
Devils roll the dice
angels roll their eyes
And
if I bleed
You'll be the last
to know oh
It's new
the shape of your body
It's blue
the feeling I've got
And it's woo woah
it's a cruel summer
It's cool
that's what I tell 'em
No rules
in breakable heaven
But woo woah
it's a cruel summer
With
you
I'm drunk
in the back of the car
And I cried
like a baby
Comin' home
from the bar
Said I'm fine
but it wasn't true
I don't wanna
keep secrets
Just to keep
you and I
Snuck in through
the garden gate
Every night
that summer
Just to seal
my fate
And I scream
for whatever
It's worth
I love you
Ain't that the worst
thing you ever heard
He looks up grinnin'
like a devil
It's new
the shape of your body
It's blue
the feeling I've got
And it's woo woah
it's a cruel summer
It's cool
that's what I tell 'em
No rules
in breakable heaven
But woo woah
it's a cruel summer
With
you
I'm drunk
in the back of the car
And I cried
like a baby
Comin' home
from the bar
Said I'm fine
but it wasn't true
I don't wanna
keep secrets
Just to keep
you and I
Snuck in through
the garden gate
Every night
that summer
Just to seal
my fate
And I scream
for whatever
It's worth
I love you
Ain't that the worst
thing you ever heard

Tell me somethin'
girl
Are you happy
in this modern world
Or do you
need more
Is there
somethin' else
You're
searchin' for
I'm falling
in all the good times
I find myself
longin' for change
And in the bad times
I fear myself
Tell me something
boy
Aren't you
tired
Tryin' to fill
that void
Or do you
need more
Ain't it hard
keeping it so hardcore
I'm falling
in all the good times
I find myself
longing for change
And in the bad times
I fear myself
I'm off the deep end
watch as I dive in
I'll never meet
the ground
Crash through
the surface
Where
they can't hurt us
We're far from
the shallow now
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
We're far from
the shallow now

I'm off the deep end
watch as I dive in
I'll never meet
the ground
Crash through
the surface
Where
they can't hurt us
We're far from
the shallow now
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
In the shallow
shallow
We're far from
the shallow now

Oh when I get old
I'll be looking back
Wishing it could
last forever
Oh yesterday
seem so far away
Long dress no shoes
summer nights
Golden and blue
it feels just like
We're stuck
I side a picture frame
These memories
never fade away oh
Whisper to me
we got the world
Right at our feet
and I just wanna sit
Right here
and look at you
That's probably
all I ever do
Oh when I get old
I'll be looking back
Wishing it could
last forever
Oh yesterday
seem so far away
Where did it go
all of the nights
All the time
we spent together
Oh yesterday
seem so far away
Wake up
and smile
'Cause
you're beautiful
Those hazel eyes
when I get old
That's all I wanna
think about
I probably shouldn't
say this out loud
High hopes big dreams
and a little scared
Way too naive
thinking you always
Be mine and never
leave my side
At least
these memories
Never
say goodbye
Oh when I get old
I'll be looking back
Wishing it could
last forever
Oh yesterday
seem so far away
Where did it go
all of the nights
All the time
we spent together
Oh yesterday
seem so far away
Someday I'm running
out of time
I'll see your picture
in my mind
I'll keep our love
frozen in time
Oh when I get old
I'll be looking back
Wishing it could
last forever
Oh yesterday
seem so far away
Where did it go
all of the nights
All the time
we spent together
Oh yesterday
seem so far away

I'm going under
and this time
I fear there's no one
to save me
This all or nothing
really got a way
Of driving me
crazy
I need somebody
to heal
Somebody
to know
Somebody to have
somebody to hold
It's easy
to say
But
it's never the same
I guess I kinda
liked the way
You numbed
all the pain
Now the day bleeds
into nightfall
And you're not here
to get me
Through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled
the rug
I was getting kinda
used to being
Someone
you loved
I'm going under
and this time
I fear there's no one
to turn to
This all
or nothing way
Of loving got me
sleeping without you
Now I need
somebody to know
Somebody to heal
somebody to have
Just to know
how it feels
It's easy
to say
But
it's never the same
I guess I kinda
like the way
You help me
escape
Now the day bleeds
into nightfall
And you're not here
to get me
Through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled
the rug
I was getting kinda
used to being
Someone
you loved
And I tend
to close my eyes
When it hurts
sometimes
I fall into
your arms
I'll be safe
in your sound
Till I come back
around
For now the day bleeds
into nightfall
And you're not here
to get me
Through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled
the rug
I was getting kinda
used to being
Someone
you loved
But now the day bleeds
into nightfall
And you're not here
to get me
Through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled
the rug
I was getting kinda
used to being
Someone you loved
I let my guard down
And then you pulled
the rug
I was getting kinda
used to being
Someone
you loved

Baby can't you see
I'm calling
A guy like you
should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm falling
There's no escape
I can't wait
I need a hit
baby give me it
You're dangerous
I'm loving it
Too high
can't come down
Losing my head
spinning
Round and round
do you feel me now
With a taste of
your lips
I'm on a ride
you're toxic
I'm slipping under
with a taste of
A poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
And I love
what you do
But you know
that you're toxic-

It's getting late
to give you up
I took a sip
from my devil's cup
Slowly
it's taking over me
Too high
can't come down
It's in the air
and it's all around
Can you
feel me now
With a taste of
your lips
I'm on a ride
you're toxic
I'm slipping under
with a taste of
A poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
And I love
what you do
But you know
that you're toxic
Don't you know
that you're toxic-

Taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic
I'm slipping under
With a taste of
a poison paradise
I'm addicted
to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
With a taste of
your lips
I'm on a ride
you're toxic
I'm slipping under
with a taste of
A poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know
that you're toxic
Intoxicate me now
with your loving now
I think
I'm ready now
(I think
I'm ready now)
Intoxicate me now
with your loving now
I think
I'm ready now-

I was so high
I did not recognize
The fire burning
in her eyes
The chaos that
controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye
and she got on a plane
Never to return again
but always in my heart
Oh this love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
Wooh oh oh wooh oh oh
wooh oh oh
I tried my best
to feed her appetite
Keep her coming
every night
So hard to keep
her satisfied oh
Kept playing love like
it was just a game
Pretending
to feel the same
Then turn around
and leave again but oh
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
Wooh oh oh wooh oh oh
wooh oh oh
I'll fix these
broken things
Repair your
broken wings
And make sure
everything's alright
My pressure
on your hips
Sinking my fingertips
into every inch of you
'Cause I know that's
what you want me to do
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And my heart
is breaking
In front of me
she said goodbye
Too many times
before
This love has taken
it's toll on me
She said goodbye
too many times before
And her heart
is breaking
In front of me
and I have no choice
'Cause I won't say
goodbye anymore-

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

What's this all about

Although loneliness
has always been
A friend of mine
I'm leaving my life
In your hands
people say I'm crazy
And that I am blind
risking it all
In a glance
how you got me
Blind is
still a mystery
I can't get you
out of my head
Don't care
what is written
In your history
as long as
You're here with me
I don't care
Who you are
where you're from
What you did
as long as you love me
Who you are
where you're from
Don't care
what you did
As long as you love me
every little thing
That you have said
and done
Feels like it's deep
within me um--
Doesn't really matter
if you're on the run
It seems like
we're meant to be
I don't care
who you are
Where you're from
what you did
As long as you love me
who you are
Where you're from
don't care
What you did
as long as you love me
Yeah--
as long as you love me
As long as you love me
I've tried to hide it
So that no one knows
but I guess it shows
When you look
in to my eyes
What you did and where
you're coming from
As long as you love me
baby
I don't care
who you are
Where you're from
what you did
As long as you love me
who you are
Where you're from
don't care
What you did
as long as you love me
Who you are
where you're from
What you did
as long as you love me
Who you are
where you're from
As long as you love me
who you are
As long as
you love me
What you did
I don't care
As long as
you love me-

Touch my body tender
'cause the feeling
Makes me weak
kicking off the covers
I see
the ceiling
While you're
looking down at me
How can we go back
to being friends
When we just
shared a bed?
How can you look at me
and pretend
I'm someone
you've never met?
It was
last december
You were layin'
on my chest
I still
remember
I was scared to
take a breath
Didn't want you to
move your head
How can we go back
to being friends
When we just
shared a bed?
How can you look at me
and pretend
I'm someone
you've never met?
The devil
in your eyes
Won't deny the lies
you've sold
I'm holding on
too tight
While you let go
this is casual
How can we go back
to being friends
When we just
shared a bed?
How can you look at me
and pretend
I'm someone
you've never met?
How can we go back
to being friends
When we just
shared a bed?
How can you look at me
and pretend
I'm someone
you've never met?

For a while
there it was rough
But lately
I've been doin' better
Than the last
four cold
Decembers
I recall
And I see my family
every month
I found a girl
my parents love
She'll come and stay
the night
And I think
I might have it all
And I thank God
every day
For the girl
he sent my way
But I know
the things
He gives me
he can take away
And I hold you
every night
And that's a feelin'
I wanna get used to
But there's no man
as terrified
As the man who stands
to lose you
Oh I hope
I don't lose you
Uhm please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got
Oh woo
please don't take
I found my mind
I'm feelin' sane
It's been
a while
But I'm findin'
my faith
If everything's good
and it's great
Why do I sit and wait
'til it's gone
Oh I'll tell ya
I know I've got enough
I've got peace
and I've got love
But I'm up
at night
Thinkin' I just might
lose it all
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
don't take
These beautiful things
that I've got oh woo
Please stay
I want you I need you
Oh God
I need
These beautiful things
that I've got

We speak of the devil
he's no friend of mine
To turn from him is
what we've got in mind
Just a liar
and a thief
The word
tell us so
We like to let him
know where he can go
To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil
When things
are going wrong
You know who to blame
he will always
Live up
to his name
He's never been
the answer
There's a better way
we are here
To rock you
and to say
To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil-

To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil
To hell
with the devil
To hell with the devil
devil devil-

If I should stay
I would only be in
your way
so I'll go
But I know
I'll think of you
every step of
the way and I
will always
love you

love you
You
my darling you
Eum-- bitter sweet
memories

I'm taking with me

And I hope You

The old home town
looks the same
As I step down
from the train
And there to meet me
is my Mama and Papa
And down the road
I look and
There runs mary
Hair of gold and
Lips like cherries
It's good to touch
The green green
grass of home
Yes they'll all come
to meet me
Arms a reaching
smiling sweetly
It's good to touch
the green green
grass of home
The old house
is still standing
Though the paint
is cracked and dry
and there's that
Old oak tree that
I used to play on
Down the lane I walk
with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and
lips like cherries
It's good to touch the
green green
grass of home
Then I awake
And look around me
at four grey walls
That surround me
and I realize
Yes that I was only
dreamming
For there's a guard
and there's a sad
Old padre Arm in arm
we'll walk
At daybreak again
I'll touch the
Green green
grass of home
Yes they'll all come
to see me
In the shade of
that old oak tree
As they lay me
beneath the
Green green
grass of home-

and this place
could be much brighter
than tomorrow
and if you really try
you'll find
there's no need to cry
in this place
you'll feel
there's no hurt
or sorrow
there are ways
to get there
if you care enough
for the living
make a little space
make a better place
Heal the world
make it a better place
for you and for me
and the entire
human race
there are people dying
if you care enough
for the living
make a better place
for you and for me
If you want to know
why there's a love
that can not lie
love is strong
it only cares of
joyful giving
If we try we shall see
in this bliss
we can not feel
fear or dread
we stop existing
and start living
then it feels that
always love's enough
for us growing
so make a better world
make a better world
Heal the world
make it a better place
for you and for me
and the entire
human race
there are people dying
if you care enough
for the living
make a better place
for you and for me
and the dream
we were conceived
in will reveal a
joyful face
and the world me
once believed in will
shine again in grace
than why do we keep
stranging life would
this earth crucify
It's soul though
it's plain to see
this world is heavenly
be gods glow
we could fly
so high let
our spirits
never die in my heart
I feel you are
all my brothers
create a world
with no fear together
we cry happy tears see
the nations turn
their swords
into plowshares
we could really
get there
if you cared enough
for the living
make a little space
to make a better place
Heal the world
make it a better place
for you and for me
and the entire
human race
there are people dying

human race

I've paid my dues
time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes---
I've made a few
I've had my
Share of sand kicked
in my face
but I've come through
We are the champions
my friends
And We'll
keep on fighting
till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
Because
We are the champions
of the world
I've taken my bows
and my curtain calls
you brought me fame
and fortune and
everything that goes
with it
I thank you all
But it's been on
bed or roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it
a challenge before
all of you I'd
raise and never lose
We are the champions
my friends
And We'll
keep on fighting
till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
Because
we are the champions
of the world
We are the champions
my friends
And We'll
keep on fighting
till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
Because
we are the champions-

25 years of my
life and still
I'm trying
to get up that
Great big
hill of hope
For a
destination
I realized
quickly
When I
knew I should
That the world was
made up of this
Brotherhood
of man
For whatever
that means
And so I
cry sometimes
When I'm
lying in bed
To still
get it all out
What's in
my head
Then I
I am feeling
A little
peculiar
And so I wake in the
morning and I step
Outside and I
take a deep breath
And I get
real high
Then I scream from the
top of my lungs
What's going on
and I say
Hey yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
I say hey
What's going on
and I say
Hey yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
I said hey
What's going on
woo woo
Woo woo woo woo woo
woo woo woo woo woo
Woo woo
woo woo woo woo woo
Woo woo
woo woo woo
And I try
oh my God do I try
I try all the time
in this institution
And I pray
oh my God do I pray
I pray every
single day
For a
revolution
And so I
cry sometimes
When I'm
lying in bed
To still
get it all out
What's in
my head
Then I
I am feeling
A little
peculiar
And so I wake in the
morning and I step
Outside and I
take a deep breath
And I get
real high
Then I scream from the
top of my lungs
What's going on
and I say
Hey yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
I say hey
What's going on
and I say
Hey yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
I said hey
What's going on
and I say
Hey yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
I say hey
What's going on
and I say
Hey yeah

Hey yeah yeah
I said hey
What's going on
woo woo
Woo woo woo woo woo
woo woo woo woo woo
25 years of my
life and still
I'm trying
to get up that
Great big
hill of hope
For a
